When I was a kid, I thought the Paul Mauriat song Love Is Blue was called Love is Poo.  :buggedout: :wink:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

A couple:
"The Beagle, Jed and I know"-- Jet Airliner, Steve Miller Band
"Dead meat, dead meat, I ain't no fortunate one"-- Fortunate Son, Creedence Clearwater Revival
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

Jimi Hendrix. Excuse me while I kiss the sky I always thought was Excuse me while I kiss this guy.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Is it normal for older threads to appear as print pages? misheard  :buggedout:

The Belle of St. Mark, 1984 song by Sheila E

What Sheila sings

The woman who hurt him surely must have trouble sleeping

What I always heard

The woman who hurt him should have her head chopped off sleeping
Is it October yet?

There is a different kind of lyrics misheard here in Germany. German people claim they hear german language in english songs. Funny enough parts of these songs really sound like something was said in German.
The one that started the misheard craze in Germany in the early 2000s was a woman who requested the song "Agathe Bauer" on the radio. It took a while for the DJ to figure out what song she meant. It was (I've Got) The Power by Snap!
Another classic example is "All the leaves are brown" from the song California Dreamin' by The Mamas and the Papas. German people clearly hear "Anneliese Braun".
Is it October yet?

there's a site for misheard song lyrics called kissthisguy.com

The Burgomaster

In the song "Lodi" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, one of the lines is:

"Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again"

For years I kept hearing:

"Oh Lord, I'm sucking on old tire pins"
"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Rev. Powell

Obscure, but in the Sex Pistol's "Who Killed Bambi?" I always hear the nonsense words, "Icepacking painkillers, they leave them in the rain."

According to the Internet they actually sing "all the spikey punkers, believers in the ruins."
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...
