Misheard song lyrics

[Quail]

Have you ever misheard the lyrics to a song as something ridiculous?

"Glorified version of a pelican" which should be "Glorified version of a pellet gun" from Glorified G by Pearl Jam sticks in my mind as something I got wrong (but sang along to regardless :blushing:). There are probably many more, but I'm having a bit of a brain-fail at the moment.

Are You Experienced - Jimmy Hendrix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX0XVEmwlfs&feature=related)

"Droplets of Violence"
instead of
"Trumpets and Violins"

I misheard everything on Van Dyke Parks' "Song Cycle" until I read the lyrics. Actually, I even got it wrong then, too.

Just write down what you think he's saying on this and post it:

Also known as Mondegreens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen).

This sort of thing is why I tend to try and learn the lyrics to songs I like - it can be quite jarring to unexpectedly learn the real lyrics to a song, especially if it's one you've known (or thought you've known) for years.

The most recent example for me was the Fear Factory song Linchpin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ7Cn3s50Kk) where the lyrics "Can't take me apart" sounded like "God gimme a pie" at first.

[Comrade Wolfie's Very Nearly Banned Adventures]

I'd like a pie.

My list is too big to mention. Seriously how can you not mishear anything those robotic synthetic industrial musicians sing!

[Pirate Utopian]

"Hey Marlous ik wil onder je blouse." Instead of "Hey Marlous ik wil met je onder de douche."

Excuse me while I kiss this guy (this song was used a gay anthem for a while)
instead of excuse me while I kiss the sky
I think it's Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

In the song "Let Down" by radiohead, there's a lyric that goes "hysterical and useless", and because of his accent I always thought it sounded like "you're staring cuz of the incest". Kinda weird.

[Pretty Flaco]

I can't understand anything that has been sung by Pearl Jam

[Quail]

^No, me neither. Eddie Vedder seems to try and fit as many words as he can into a single syllable sometimes. There are other Pearl Jam songs I've misheard, but I can't remember which oens specifically right now.
"..shake the cancer off" sounded like "..shake the casserole" to me, but I can't rememebr the name of the song. Edit: The song is Loveboat Captain by Pearl Jam.

"Hey Marlous ik wil onder je blouse." Instead of "Hey Marlous ik wil met je onder de douche."
Depending on the context, the second is actually "worse". :rolleyes:

I think that song is about pasta. "Maccaron" :lol:

if you tolerate this then del monte will be next

How could you confuse what is clearly "your children" with "del monte"?
