Billy Joel - She's Always a Woman

She hides like a child but she's ~~always a woman to me~~ == a weasel-woman to me

Call Me Maybe / Carly Rae Jepsen

You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
~~Swear to Satan it's real~~ At first sight, and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way

Yep. Knew it was wrong, but that's what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
"~~Ni**as~~ fight on the hill in the early day..." == Make his

I wanna be your big Suburban.

Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was "My love has got no money, he's got his trumbalyse" and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.

Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.

One of the earliest websites I remember was like scuse me while I miss this guy dot com and it was people sharing what you're looking for. Check the way back machine

Bring me a pile of love!

I can't believe this is 15 years ago. Still hear these in the song today. https://youtu.be/VWqC4KKiVbU

Israelites is a classic.

Me ears are alight.

At first I thought Post Malone was saying “swallow my knife” and not “spoil my night.”

There's a bathroom on the right.

My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica's Battery was "backdoor raid". Now I can't unhear it.

I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, "give an Alabama yell" instead of "give the other feller hell."

"living like a lover with a red iPhone" - Pour some sugar on me, 1987

I was driving one day, in the early 1990s, singing along with Elton John, "love I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I could do with another man.." as I had since I was a little kid, when I suddenly realized that probably wasn't what he was saying. It still sounds like that is what he is saying.

I see quite a lot of Elton John in these answers, maybe he just didn't enunciate.

I was once listening to The Pillows' "I Think I Can" around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you'd never know through the singer's heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing "I lick my cunt."

That was 15 years ago and it's still all I hear when I listen to the song.

My wife’s childhood:

“My anus can’t take it I’m addicted to love”.

Robert Palmer.

Mine is when I sing, and I can’t remember what I say, but something like “kissing your neck, back, n’dem titties” to Labrinths Still Don’t Know My Name. Although I’m still fairly certain those lyrics to be correct 👍
