funny lyric misunderstandings

hey,

i think everyone kinda knows that:

you hear a song and then start singing it without really being sure what the lyrics are...

 

what were funny misunderstandings of lyrics you might have sang yourself for some time? or maybe you liked the line you understood even better than the original one?

 

i can remember that i always sang (and still do) 

"she gives appropriate shape to my heart"

instead of

"she keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart"

when we used to play NIRVANA's Aneurysm.

what's your own favorite misunderstanding?

 

 

cheers

(mishearing it since I first knew enough English to understand the basic meaning of the song, lol)

“This is sandpit turtle!” From BMTH’s Shadow moses haha

Going through my old likes and there's this songs with lyrics as I hear

 

"Cause there's this tuna I found that makes me think of you somehow"

 

and that's the song:

I suppose I can blame Mr Scruff and his Ninja Tunas... : )

"I'll be waaiting

till the skyy falls down~

Let the wrinkles come"

What it is: Return to ash. Now that we're dead, my dear.

 

What I heard: Return to Azkaban, my dear.

“Desert Cruiser” by Truckfighters begins with the lyrics “I’m out cruising in the desert, if feels so f***ing great,” but I always hear “I’m out cruising in the desert, wheat field is so f***ing great"; I imagine the band driving around in the desert and passing by a wheat field that they think is absolutely amazing lol
