Misheard Lyrics

--- Quote from: brandie ---I thought Smashing Pumpkins' Bullet with a Butterfly Wing was
"despite all my rage I'm still just ready to cage" (instead of a rat in a cage)
--- End quote ---


Wow. I didn't even know those were the lyrics, I thought the lyrics were "despite all my rage I'm still just ready to cave".

Houdinimachine:

--- Quote from: Kwi ---Still better than my great grandmother who had never heard a guitar riff until stopping by my house.

Also, suprised no-one has mentioned the infamous mis-interpretation of Smoke on the Water.

"Slow walking Walter, Fire Engine guy"
--- End quote ---


And suddenly the Barenaked Ladies song "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel" seems much more intellectual for containing this phrase:

"Can't help but wonder if all this is real
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel

Rubberneck traffic and passersby
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy "

RallyMonkey:
I once made a female a mix CD, and then she sent me a text message the next day saying she really liked the song that went "You lied, you lied, and it's never been the same."

It took me the longest time to realize she was talking about July, July - The Decemberists, which goes "July, July, Juuuuulllly. It never seemed so strange."

Then another one of my friends thought the lyrics "Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage." was "Did you exchange a walking part in the war for a leaf in a cage." in Wish You Were Here.

I thought my friends were smarter than that.

OH MY GOD YES

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

Zaarin:
For the longest time I thought Johnny Rotten sang "It made you a moron, and touched your wife's bum!" in "God Save the Queen". Looking back, that seems pretty daft, but I thought he was sneering the last line and that altered its meaning for me.
