Excues me while I kiss this guy (misheard lyrics)
 
I always hear "guy" instead of "guide" even though I know it is guide. Completely changes the meaning of the song.

I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand, will these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? (Joy Division, Disorder)

I know exactly what you mean I thought the same thing with disorder.

Thom yorke says "I can feel death" but I used to think he said "fuckin' feel dead" which suprised me of course.

He's talking about disorder I think.

The embarassing moment of revelation:
I was singing in my worst Morrisey falsetto in my car when my roommate said, "What did you say?" I knew I was right, so I told him, "Now I know that I'm adopted...." OOPS!

That website has some funny ones on it.

Now I'm glad sonicl fell into that one simultaneously.
Blast, it really is too early a morning and I have a shitload to do today.
Looks like it's gonna be one of those...

When I was a kid I always thought Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" was called "Even though".

Off that last Joanna Newsome record there's a song about a Meteorite or something and I thought she was singing about 'media rights'...

nick2767 04.30.2007 10:39 AM

I remember reading about Megadeath (or some metally band like that)recording a version of Anarchy in the UK and instead of singing the line 'another council tenancy' sang it as 'and other cunt like tendencies'. Having never heard this version I couldn't say whether it's true or just some bit of pop music myth. But it's certainly amusing.

ALIEN ANAL 04.30.2007 10:50 AM

haha media rights thats funny

oh i use to sing all these wrong lyrics to Peal Jams 'daughter'
something about being in a wheel chair and violence

MellySingsDoom 04.30.2007 06:02 PM

In Public Enemy's "Rebel Without A Pause", I used to think that 'That's the reason they're claiming I'm a-violent' was 'That's the reason they played it on a violin'.

Gotta love Cheech and Chong's "Excuse me as I kiss this fly."

king_buzzo 06.09.2007 11:29 AM

'I can never forget you, the way you rocked the boat'

From 100%, Always thought it was like this until I googled the lyrics

I always thought it was kiss this guy, and then I thought it was misheard so I thought the right version 'kiss the sky'

when i was younger, in "every day is like sunday" i thought old morrissey was singing "come all you edmunds" instead of "come, armageddon".

yeah.

LittlePuppetBoy 06.09.2007 01:24 PM

In "to Forgive" by the Smashing Pumpkins, I always thought the line "nothing is important" was "nothing is a bother"

Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night
