Misheard Lyrics
So you're enjoying your favorite jam, singing along as your friend grimaces, but you don't care because you know you sound incredible. Your friend is now laughing. Now you pause. "What?" You ask. "Dude!" Your friend shakes their head. "Those are the wrong lyrics! It obviously goes like this..." And the debate of the century begins...
Ever had a moment like that? Lyrics are a fickle thing, always changing every time you listen. What are some songs that have screwed with your brain?
Examples for me:
Hendrix "Purple Haze" - "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy." Kiss the sky
Lorde "Team" - "Now bring my poison." My boys in
blink-182 "What's My Age Again?" - "I woke alone" I wore cologne
Fall Out Boy "Sugar We're Goin' Down" - "Don't mind me, I'm watching YouTube from the closet." You two from the closet
Comments
I have been waiting for an excuse to post this.
That slipknot song that goes "liberate my madness" I swear to god he's saying 'liberate bananas'.
Yeah, the song's called Liberate :b
Just....thank you. That made my day entirely better.
The Taylor Swift song Blank Space - I swear she says 'Starbucks lovers' not 'long list of ex-lovers'
And girl I can be the Popeye you can lemon. And girl I can be the papa you can be the mom. Sean Paul, Temperature.
There's a bathroom on the right. There's a bad moon on the rise. CCR, Bad Moon on the Rise.
And as a bonus, one poorly written lyric.
"I'm the biggest rapper, Google me. Expedia." I think you meant Wikipedia, my chubby friend.. Rick Ross, Comfortable (Remix)

I was about to post the CCR one.
You are welcome!
When I was younger, I thought, "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" was actually "Without This City on Broadway."
Here's my favorite misheard lyric video as well:
