Misheard Lyrics

[Nerf]

Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue, Where The Wild Roses Grow.

Real lyric:

"My trembling subsided in his sure embrace."

What I heard, for years, and still do to some extent:

"My trembling subsided in his Turin Brakes."

[Liam]

Ptch, some of there stuff is good.

[Quom]

Bryan Adams' Summer of '69:

"I got my first real sex dream"

which is much better than the lyric

"I got my first real six-string".

[Farmer Reil]

Rhapsody (of Fire~!) - Emerald Sword.

Misheard Lyric: "Thanks to the little mirror I found I'd lost weight"

Real Lyric: "Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way"

¬_¬

God bless Fabio's accent. Anyone who pronounces the 'w' in 'sword' is cool in my book ¬_¬ And the way the backing singers pronounce emerald is hilarious (eem-reld). Although to be fair that's the only Rhapsody lyric I've ever done that with, other than ones containing made up words (place/character names etc).

Just remembered another one from when I was young. Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do:

"The evil that men do lives on a nun" ¬_¬

I had visions of evil men eating nuns to survive. It made so much sense

Alas, the real lyric is "The evil that men do lives on and on".

Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, for sure.

"I walk alone, I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk-a..."

"...I walk alone... AND VODKA."

[Mongrel]

Drift Away

"Gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul."

[Cadet Ember McLain]

Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, for sure.

"I walk alone, I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk-a..."

"...I walk alone... AND VODKA."

I always hear "I walk alone" as "I wore cologne".

[Zaz]

I hear 'voodoo economics' from Radiohead's Electioneering as 'brutal economics' =/

As much as I like Nightwish, a lot of their lyrics sound like something totally different.

Wishmaster for example:

That video has already been posted. It's shite. (Except 'hard porn' ¬_¬ But Heartborne isn't exactly a common word ¬_¬).

Misheard lyrics aren't funny when they're deliberately misheard for comedy purposes And they used the live version. What do you fucking expect?

Tarja's English > your Suomeski.

[Only In Dreams]

Anything really in The Beatles "Paul is Dead" phase is considered a misheard lyric because everyone was trying to figure out if Paul was infact dead.

Clearly, he's alive.

[Guest Grapehead]

in my opinion, the best was my friend listening to master of puppets hearing the line "Just call my name because I'll hear you scream" and thinking it was "Just call my name because ICE CREAM!!"
