Misheard Lyrics
amok:
Opeth - The Drapery Falls
"Deadly patterns made my wreath"
I think this is the line. A friend of mine pointed out to me that the way he sings it, it sounds like "devious badgers" at the start. Now I can't unhear it.

--- Quote from: est ---Some personal ones from high school years:
For Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" I thought that the chorus was "Jeremy smoked in class today" instead of "spoke".
--- End quote ---
The song came out when I was 12, and I really didn't understand the drug-lingo. So, when I heard the lyric as "Jeremy's smoking grass today" I was completely confused. Until a 'hipper' (also 12 y/o) friend of mine explained that grass was slang for pot, and the song made sense. It was probably 6 years before I learned the correct lyric...

this one is actually on the aforementioned page-a-day calendar. I guess there were 2 good ones...
As for myself, another I misheard at a young age was form AC/DC's "You SHook Me All Night Long" I STILL hear the opening line as "She was a fax machine." THis one actually made sense to me, as I first heard the song via the movie "Maximum Overdrive" in which electronic gadgets come to life...
Jarvillian:
It's a crappy as hell song, but that 'Punk Rocker With Flowers In My Hair' by some annoying woman sounds like she's saying 'I wish I was a prawn cracker / With Flowers in my hair'

Wow! Well I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. By the way, it just hit me that it is "deny me" and not "remind.."
Oh well. I hate that song. :)
