So I've heard a lot of misheard lyrics… But I can't remember any of them rn. I'm going to have to find them again lol

For me… "Annie are you okay" (Michael Jackson) became "Eddie are you walking" somehow… and my entire family have been singing it wrong for years

omg can't believe that I'm only finding this thread now. I have so many weird misheard lyrics, but here's a short list:

  • Killer Queen- Queen: "Little man from China, let down the gate she mighta" Actual lyrics are "Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah." (I've also seen Asia Minor, but most sites are telling me that Geisha Minah is correct).
  • Feel Good Inc.- The Gorillaz: "Santa's breaking down on the camel's back." Actual lyrics: "City's breaking down on the camel's back." (I know I'm not the only one who misheard it this way.)
  • We're Not Gonna Take It- Twisted Sister: "We'll fight one thousand peaches." Actual lyrics "We'll fight the powers that be just."
  • 4 Minutes- Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake: "If you farted it better be what you want." Actual lyrics: "If you thought it, it better be what you want." This was actually pointed out to me, but I cannot unhear it for the life of me.
  • Video Killed the Radio Star- The Buggles. "B*tches came and broke their heart." Actual Lyrics: "Pictures came and broke their heart."

I have way more, but I'll stop there before this post becomes like a mile long.

Oh! Pretty much the entirety of Subhuman from Devil May Cry 5. Not because it's played while you're fighting enemies, but because it's a screamo song by a shitty screamo band with the absolute worst audio mixing I've ever heard. You can barely hear the band while the lead sounds like a teenage boy when his mom turns off the internet in the middle of a Fortnite game.

One of my favorite metal youtubers actually covered the song and said he "fixed it." Boy, he wasn't kidding.

"Centuries" by Fall Out Boy…the lyrics I heard were "some names are told, some turn to dust or to gold". I wasn't that far off. The actual lyrics are "Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold"

@TakeToTheStars

"No sir, by the way, what the hell are marbles" Set It Off, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. *Morals.

I heard "mortals". Never knew it was "morals".

For me… "Annie are you okay" (Michael Jackson) became "Eddie are you walking" somehow… and my entire family have been singing it wrong for years

Almost exactly the same, except I heard "Annie, are you walking?"

Now mine:

Kokomo
Beach Boys

What I heard:
Bermuda, Bahama, come on baby lama

Actual lyrics:
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Literally all of Chicago Is So Two Years Ago by Fall Out Boy
"but there's a Lionel, end cheap cargo and I know I should be home" to give an example but it's actually "but there's a light on in Chicago and I know I should be home"

This one time when I was like 10 my dad started playing this song. It's pretty repetitive so my siblings and I thought we'd sing along. So we all start dancing and singing the words "Chocolate Bob! Chocolate Bob!"
The song is like 7 minutes long and at the end of it my dad goes, "You guys it's, it's 'Drop the Bomb.'"

@shattered_heart

For ages I thought the lyrics to "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes were "And any girl like you deserves a chance." Then I watched a lyric video and realised it was "deserves a gentleman".

i thought in Dead! by my chemical romance was "take a piss by my head" but it's "take a pistol by the hand"
