Today I was listening to the radio, and I heard this song on the radio, and it inspired me to start this thread:


Lonestar - Amazed - YouTube

I swear when I heard the chorus, I thought the singer was singing "your chest keeps getting better," but no, the words are "it just keeps getting better." I blame it on the mangled country singing accent the singer is using.

So what are some of your favorite misheard lyrics?

Anything by Elton John -- I really can't figure out what he's singing about in most of his classics.

An old morning show in Philly used to do an annual "Misconstrued Lyrics" program, where listeners would all send in their favorites -- it was pretty funny!

I think the same of Bob Dylan.

This is embarassing to admit, but I had a hard time with the main lyrics of Goo Goo Dolls "I'll Be Your Crying Shoulder." Obviously I didn't even know the title of the song, because I thought they were singing "I'll be your crying soul-digger." I swear that's how they pronounce it!

This is the most notorious one I know. Revved up like a deuce, sounds like wrapped up like a douche.Like the Chopsticks near the end of the song.

Iknow so many people back then who thought Johnny Rivers was singing "Secret Asian Man". I felt like I was the only one who knew about the series: "Secret Agent". However, it DOES sound like "Asian".

Proof^ you don't need to understand to hear great guitar inspired from fellow dweller Jimi Hendrix and have great melody.

The opening guitar is what us guitar people call a "hook".

You got us in less then the first 10 seconds.

Just heard this one again today...

In Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats"

Quote:
That I dug my key into the side of his
pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I always thought she was singing Legacy, you know, like the car...

Sheesh, and she wonders why C&W fans and the manly types don't like her. Keying her man's ride? She better stick to pop.
