I miss the rains down in Africa.
Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren't sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!
What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?
I used to play an MMO called Shards of Dalaya that was a modified EverQuest. Anyway, Felwithe, the High Elf town, was named Athica in it and there was a server event where there was a raid there. One of the comments in chat was "I bless the raids down in Athica." Always thought that was clever.
Thought for a long time it was "I guess it rains down in Africa 🤷🏻♂️
What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead
It's for the werewolf!
I always heard: "I got some reins down in Africa."
Edit: lol, I still hear it.
Revved up like a douche...
I mean, that's just objectively what he says.
I’d like to say this to singers…
No, maybe you wrote this in your lyrics sheet and planned to say it. But…what you actually said in the song was…
I remember being in a hotel once, and scrolling through channels and saw a concert channel playing a Bruce Springsteen show. And he's sitting at the piano doing a little monologue about the song, and he doesn't say douche, but refers to a cover (the Manfred Mann version) and it using "feminine products" instead of deuce, which is what he wrote.
I don't know what Manfred said, but even the Boss thinks he said douche.
Funny, I always sang, "Wrapped up like a douche"
In the middle of the night!
Wrapped up like a douche, another rotor in the night
So Bruce Springsteen wrote the original version of "Blinded By the Light". But Manfred Mann's version was the one that was a huge hit. And Mann's version does say "wrapped up like a douche" (versus Springsteen saying "revved up like a duce").
I saw an interview with Springsteen where he speculated that was the biggest writing mistake he'd made. If only he'd said "wrapped up like a douche", maybe his version would have sold better.

New sub sucks.Basically the original Cave Story fan translation versus the official one done for Cave Story+.
Saw this with the DnD5e translation. The fan work was leagues better than the official thing

Someone I know misheard "Tenth Avenue Freestyle" as "Tell the devil you freestyle" and honestly that's a much more interesting song.
Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually "tenth avenue FREEZE OUT"
Oh my god
Excuse me while I kiss this guy. 🎶
Wow I have fully embodied the meme after reading this
Now that just reminds me of a blast from the past.
Holy shit it still exists! I remember looking on this website around 2001/2. Fuck that really makes me feel old.
I always heard the lyrics to Cake’s I want a girl as “ I want a girl with the right eye locations”. Seems reasonable enough, nobody wants to date Sloth from the Goonies. And then one day a girl I was talking to told me it was “the right allocations” like measurements, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt dumber.
Short Skirt / Long Jacket
Great song whose music video includes some beautiful shots of early 2000s Sacramento (where they're from), including local news anchorwoman Dierdre Fitzpatrick when she was an in-the-field reporter!
I knew I got the title wrong haha
I always sing it "I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooong mustache"
Moustache by LittleBig, might be up your alley.
i mean, they're kinda the same thing, tbh.
I heard it as 'aisle locations' which seemed to kinda fit the corporate success stuff.
Thats cause they are an interpretation of your own subconscious rather then the pop verse of the writer.
In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better
Starbucks lovers
I was gonna ask if anyone else gotta love those Starbucks lovers.
Oh man, I thought someone gotta load of Starbucks lovers.
I heard "carved my name into his legacy" instead of "leather seats" in Before He Cheats.
Liked the idea that the truck was this bozos legacy. Considering the line prior is "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive" - I thought she keyed her name into the side and that sounded awesome.
Yeah! That was so metal! It also made me think she keyed her name into the side of the truck, which would be much more visible.
"I've met a man with too many faces" sounds like three times cooler than "I'm not a man of too many faces".
I'm here / to remind you / of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.
(I used to think the line was about her ex refusing to return to her a teddy bear that he apparently gave her as a gift. Which rather fits with the song's theme and just seems dickish and spiteful on the ex's part.)
i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you're sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.
🎵 I don't wanna be French! 🎵
It's the ash storms, babies drop like flies in that kind of weather. Probably why you don't see any kids in Vvardenfell is because they get stored away somewhere keep them safe from ash, blight, and disease carrying imperials
I always heard it as, "Want you tomorrow when your baby is sick."
I thought it was "want you in my room when the baby is sick" until today
I really, truly used to think Billy Jean is not my daughter, she's just a chair.
"Annie are you wookie?"
Are you walking on the shindome, on the apartment?
Annie are you walking? Are you walking? Are you walking Annie?
Billy Jean is not my mother~
She's just a girl - who claims that I am her son~
But the girl is not my mum
“I lost at Jeopardy, baby!”
That’s just the weird al song

One Republic's Too Late to Apologize.
I used to think they said "it's too late for Papa Johns." I have told my friends and family and they can't hear the original lyrics anymore. Every time I hear that song that is what I hear.
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to
Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say "lakes". You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn't it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it's impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.
Chasing lakes is like super easy mode mb?
There's a bathroom on the right 🎶
I saw a local (Aussie) punk band once and thought they were singing about “titties and cheesecake”, turns out it was “tinnies on tuesday“. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. They were perhaps more disappointed when I told them in the beer garden after the show. I still wish for titties and cheesecake.
_I'm an alien I'm a Lithuanian I'm an Englishman in New York _
I tried this to the tune of I'm a Bitch, I'm a Lover and got confused.
In that one Macklemore song. For a long while I thought he was singing “So we put our hands up like the silly can holders” instead of “like the ceiling can’t hold us”
Lol, my version was "So we put our hands up like the silly can't hold us"
We played in metal bands when growing up. One guy heard "Ride the sky" by Helloween and thought they sang "One must die".
When he found out what it really was he used "One must die" for his own song.

Instead of "I showed my faith to the man in charge" its "I showed my feet to the man in charge", I like my version way better.
"Blitzkrieg Bop" always sounded to me like "let's get fucked" for some reason
So that's the real lyrics. Never looked them up but it definitely sounded like "let's get fucked" to me too
That's wildly disturbing.
Like way more than it makes sense for it to be.
My daughter is a Swifty, so I hear a lot of her music. I still can't hear anything other than "Starbucks lovers".
Wait, wtf does that song actually say? I thought it was Starbucks Lovers
It's actually "got a long list of ex-lovers”.
Also in googling this I also discovered she does not scream "HE LOOKS SO PRETTY LIKE A DEVIL" either.
🎶 We’re up on Mexican Lucky
"We're up a Mexican monkey" sounds better.
This is where most of my passwords come from
I thought Austin was a song about two lesbians cuz I thought this was the lyrics: "Did your boobs stop working, did your truck break down?"
I was so disappointed when I learned the actual ones hahaha

I thought it sounded more poetic that east of Omaha.
The fact that it's lyrical gangster and not leprechaun gangster makes me sad to this day.
I-M H-I-M
The jizzy m&m"I just want to set the world on fire"
Superchunk has a song called hyper enough and I think the first verse ends with "lofter gusts" but it sounds like he's saying "laughter guns" to me and many others. So much so the band made an EP with the title. Features a college radio show doing a deep dive on the subject.
"I want something U-Proooof"
I kept singing that as "I want something youtube" until people got sick and tired enough of it to stop me. The original lyrics make no sense.
Nobody can take that feeling away from me!
Murphy's fighting; how come you're in the stands?
Should I give up?
Or should I just keep chasin' penguins?
Chase the penguins. Cease the day. That's what I say, because I'm the coked up personality.
When I first heard Foghat's "Slow Ride" I thought they were saying "Snow White / take it easy!" Which made a lot of sense to college me --- this Snow White vixen is really getting down to business...
"The only man who could ever breach me..."
Was the son of a breacher man.
Clearly it ran in the family.
