Misheard song lyrics

Always a fun one to find what lyrics people miss hear.... Soooo what songs do you regualy miss hear and what do you hear it as?

The song that I am currently listening to (Iced Earth - Violate) I miss hear 'Enter now' for 'Inter-nal'

When I was a child I was CONVINCED that the Dr. Hook song 'When you're in love with a beautiful woman' was actually 'when you're in love with a beautiful WOMBAT' haha. My mum has never let me forget this one x

Fade to grey = weve made the grade

Fall Out Boy- Dance Dance.

Always sounds like he's saying "tits tits"

The whole of 'This Ain't A Scene...' by Fall Out Boy is one huge misheard lyric. This sums it up perfectly www.youtube.com/watch?v=LucfKdukf10

"This ain't a scene it's a god damn arse face" is how I always hear it!

Can't understand a word that guy says!

Haha that video is hilarious I've only seen the Dance Dance one before!

I keep on hearing 'fear of the dark' as 'fear of the duck'

I hear REM's The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight as 'calling Jamacia', rather than 'Call me when you try to wake her up'. Or whatever it is.

David Bowie's Life On Mars is the one that automatically springs to mind for me. The lyric is "It's a God-awful small affair", but I heard it for YEARS as "There's a God-awful smell in here".

Also, not a misheard lyric of mine, but I read on the internet that someone misheard "Might as well face it, you're addicted to love" as "Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove" - apparently they thought it was a song about Michael Jackson. I read it years ago, but I CANNOT help but substitute the lyric every time I hear the song

When I was a kid "Play That Funky Music White Boy" by James Brown came on the radio, and I asked my dad why they were allowed to play it and he looked at me confused and asked why wouldn't it be and I said "because it is saying play that fucking music white boy" and he laughed at me :( and still teases me.

When I was little I used to think 'Tom Jones - Mamma told me not to come' was 'mammatonia.com', don't ask me why! Kids will be kids!

No matter how old i get or how many times i hear it.... summer of 69 will always start "I had my first real sex dream"

thats so cute hahahaha

abbas chichiquita, i thought was chicken tikka

i always change the words though, all pink floys lyrics for some reason instead of comfortably numb, i say comfortably dead, and instead of great gig in the sky, i say great pig in the sky. im a weirdo :P

Oh HandcuffedLover that is AMAZING. I was able to sing the whole song using your lyrics!

For years I thought the the Verves, "now that drugs don't work" was actually "Now that Trucks don't work". I honestly couldn't understand the meaning of the song. If the trucks don't work, can't you just send a mechnic?

Also, I dont underdstand ANYTHING played on Radio 1. But I like to think thats because I've progressed into adult hood ;)

I think this guy just got the whole thing wrong:
