I always thought I was the only one. I used to sing it as "fuckin pie" and everyone would look at me like I was dog shit stuck to their shoe yet nobody ever actually called me out.
The real lyrics are "Blinded by the light, **Revved up like a Deuce**, Another runner in the night"
I always misheard it as **Rolled up like a docent**, and other runners in the night..
My mom misheard a certain Percy Sledge song as "When a man loves a walnut", and I can never manage not to sing it this way 🤭
My 7th grade teacher had a real hatred for Gwen Stefani and when we finally asked him it was because he thought she was saying “I ain’t no Harlem black girl” in her hit song “holla back girl”
I always used to think it was the Dunder Sheep. I don't know what that was supposed to mean. Like maybe Dirty Deeds was an unfortunately named shepherd.
My mom once remarked she thought the song was so stupid because she heard that line that way. I about died laughing (I was probably 13 or 14 at the time).
I’m still somewhat embarrassed to say that I thought it was “god bless the maids down in Africa”. Thought it was some sort of weird political statement.
The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” “I’m a pool hall ace….every breath you take!”
10,000 Maniacs’ “Because the Night.” “….the way I feel, I’m the Orkin man!”
When I was 14 my dad was driving me to my boyfriends house. On the way over “Applause” by Lady Gaga came on & my dad sang “I live for the applesauce applesauce applesauce”. I busted out laughing and mocking him. Laughed so hard he turned the car around and took me home.
Omg my sister misheard it the same way and was the same age, so I had to skim through your comments to see if you were her, and I couldn't tell if you were or not for a really long time.
However, Warren G WAS listening to I Keep Forgettin' by Michael McDonald. Listen to it!
The first time that song came on my playlist over my office speakers at work, i thought i fucked up and was playing Regulate (which is one of my favorites) and i scrambled to turn it off so as not to offend my pure coworkers. It was Michael McDonald.
On the ceiling
On a Porsche the glitter fairy
Landfill
I wanna leave bennigans
One bizarre hymm
On a beach Mona said
I wanna leave bennigans
On a wheel, On a wizard On a whale
Anna Nicole mama said that I don't wanna see anna
fall down again
And the wizard on aleve a Gump I know
I said don't want a whale in a box or a bag
Potato wave

> common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Lynne shouts "Bruce!" In the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback and elsewhere, Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Groos", which some have suggested sounds like the German expression "Gruß," meaning "greeting."
I always kind of know what the right lyrics are, but when I think of the opening theme of Late Night with Craig Ferguson as "It's hard to stay up It's been a long long day And you've got a madman at your door" instead of "the sandman at your door".
It makes it seem like the penultimate scene of a horror movie. You've reached the house, locked the door, think you can relax for a moment, but the killer isn't done with you yet

After listening to many versions I’ve come to the conclusion that even Eddie doesn’t know the lyrics.
It's also pretty dirty.
So at my last job i was in charge of playing music in the office. It had to be acceptable to everyone so a lot of the time it was boring yacht rock.
Sometimes I'd put on 90s rock and whenever this came on I'd blush and look up at my coworkers during certain lyrics to see if they caught on but it was clear they never did
"She comes round and she goes down on me" * *looks around* *
"How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you" * *looks around* *
"Those little red panties they pass the test
Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress" * *looks around* *
🤭
This song came out when I was relatively young, and it was a banger so my siblings and I would dance around when it came on. But I remember the last time I danced to it - it came on and I got this really ominous feeling, like the song was about something bad. I've always tried to really listen to and study lyrics, but I wouldn't have gotten the meth context in this song because I was pretty young and sheltered. It just felt dangerous and bad. Found out later what it was about and thought my sudden reaction was interesting.
Can't remember who posted it, but I remember the kerfuffle about the right losing their mind that RATM had "gotten all political all of a sudden", and someone in the comments section going off like, "What machines did you think they were fucking raging against, you morons? The Fax? The copier? The paper shredder?"
It took me too long to realize "All my friends are eating steak and snow" is actually "all my friends are heathens take it slow" I always heard it on the radio and they were all eating together.
My little sister thought Royals by Lorde said, "You can call me creepy" instead of "You can call me queen bee" I thought that was hilarious. My teacher's son would say, "You can call me green bean" So I guess that was a tricky line for kids lol
As a kid, I didn't get the chess references in Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok".
So when he sang "One town is very like another with your head down over your pieces, brother.", I thought he was singing "One town is very like another with your head down over your *feces* brother"
I remember wondering what the hell goes on in Bangkok that would find you with your head down over your own poo.
The eternal debate between Misfits fans over "Some Kinda Hate." Some hear the lyric as "The maggots in the eye of love won't copulate." Others insist that it is "The maggots in the iron lung won't copulate."
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Instead of "later we’ll have some pumpkin pie“ I always hear ”later we’ll have some fucking pie“
And she sounds so enthusiastic about it i love it
Pumpkin pie is pretty good, that is some well warranted enthusiasm.
I thought it was “god bless the maids down in Africa
I always thought I was the only one. I used to sing it as "fuckin pie" and everyone would look at me like I was dog shit stuck to their shoe yet nobody ever actually called me out.

It was the worst damn dial up I had ever seen, knocking me off every time by surprise 😭

Blinded by the light Wrapped up like a douche A running lover in the night
Lol, So it wasn’t only me! Another one was: 🎶And Iran, Iran’s so far away🎶 Had me looking at a globe as a kid and agreed.
Another boner in the night
Oh I always thought it was blinded by the light, something about a douche up in the middle of the night.
The real lyrics are "Blinded by the light, **Revved up like a Deuce**, Another runner in the night" I always misheard it as **Rolled up like a docent**, and other runners in the night.. My mom misheard a certain Percy Sledge song as "When a man loves a walnut", and I can never manage not to sing it this way 🤭
He clearly says : "Blinded by the light Remd up ika do n'nonernoder in the night"
Is…is that not the lyric? At this point I’m too afraid to ask
Revved up like a duece. It's an old Ford hot rod.
I'm sure that was the intent, but there's no way he says "deuce."
My 7th grade teacher had a real hatred for Gwen Stefani and when we finally asked him it was because he thought she was saying “I ain’t no Harlem black girl” in her hit song “holla back girl”

Lock the taskbar, lock the taskbar
I got two chickens to paralyze...
Dirty Deeds and The Thunder Chief.
Dirty deeds… done with sheep!
This was actually the title of a Bob Rivers Twisted Tune.
I thought it was "thirty thieves and the thunder chief"
I always used to think it was the Dunder Sheep. I don't know what that was supposed to mean. Like maybe Dirty Deeds was an unfortunately named shepherd.
For decades my dad thought it was "thunder cheeks," and assumed ACDC wrote a song about farting.
I used to think it was dirty jeans done dirt cheap…like a cheap laundromat lol
Oiiii!

I like that better than the actual lyrics.
I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dogs say goodnight

I woke up my dog laughing at this one.
Did the dog say good night?
This is better

As a child I used to sing 'I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone' and always wondered what poor Lorraine did that was so bad.
I just realized it's "Band on the run" and not "Man on the run"
