misheard lyrics

By now, we all know it's "excuse me while I kiss the sky" not "kiss this guy" and it's "there's a bad moon on the rise" not "there's a bathroom on the right", right?

Share one or 2 of your own misheard lyrics!

I thought 'Big ol Jed had a light on' - apparently, it's 'big ol jet airliner'

Whatever! ;)
This should be fun...

I would sing, "wrapped up like a douche," but I'd sort of mumble it, because I knew that could not possibly be correct.

I also thought that Tom Petty was saying, "She likes cheeses..." instead of "She likes Jesus..." in Freefallin'. Oops.

I guess I was projecting, because I, for one, do love cheeses---and I'm not so much into the Jesus.

I can't make out any of John (Cougar) Mellencamp's lyrics. In "Little Pink Houses", I would sing along:

"Hey Darling, I remember when you could blah blah blah" I seriously thought he just couldn't come up with a rhyme and threw in 'blah blah blah'

My husband informed me it was "Stop a clock" D'oh!

Margaritaville - I always thought he was singing, "But I know...it's my own Grandpa". For years I sang it like this. Sometime during the teenage years I was set straight.

And my husband? During Crazy Train, I caught him singing, "Crazy, but that's how it goes, millions of people living as oooone." "Living as one? No, honey, it's living as FOES!" He didn't believe me. He was a much bigger Ozzy fan than me, so how could he possibly be wrong? I was right, of course, and I tease him about it to this day. We can't listen to the song without him mumbling, "Shut up!" I don't even have to say a word and he tells me to shut up, because he knows I"m still laughing at it. Can you blame me?
