Have you ever listened to a song and misheard the lyrics and thought it was something else?

I used to think Rihannas 'Oh na na, whats my name' was 'Oh na na, horse man ay' no idea why ;l

only buttons; knows tho

[lawrawrrr]

OK so in Justin Timberlake's song Like I Love You he says "Maybe we'll fly the night away" apparently but I heard it as "baked beans are fried"

SUPER TROUPER BEANS ARE GONNA BLIND ME

SUPER TROUPER BEANS ARE GONNA BLIND ME

context pls what song was it

[Samantha]

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks

Actual lyrics: "Cause the truth may vary this, ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

What I thought: "Cause the truth may carry this, shit will carry on..." (and then what I actually thought the lyrics were after assuming I knew them "Cause the truth may carry this, she will carry our bodies safe to shore."

No idea where I got she from, I literally just looked at a lyric video and found out it's ship not she.

[Empired]

well obviously most people get the "come along you starbucks lovers" instead of "got a long list of ex lovers" and there's another one but I can't remember what it is rn

For me it's definitely the Empire State of Mind by Jay Z and Alecia Keys

What it sounds like: "In New York, concrete jungle, wet dream, tomato..."

What it actually is: "In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh... "

I always though the first line to Que Sera by Justice Crew was "Happy end to the day" instead of "At the end of the day".

Just thought of this thread...

Thought it said why you gotta date dicks for instead of why you gotta take digs for ��

Misheard foreign lyrics are the workshop tool from a non-native's eardrum. Most of them are pointlessly phonetic, you know? If I didn't know JoJo is singing "Too Little Too Late" in my head the title would be interpreted as "tchuliro tchulei" or similar

Mr Probz's Waves:
I sang it like "My Facebook water"
with the actual lyrics being "My face above the water"

Britney Spear's Toxic
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're TAXI?????

...All you need is somebody to lemon...

Anddd I genuinelyyyyy always can only listen Timberlake singing "Just let me f*** you" on Rock your body
