Oh my god i need this thread

I misheard way too many songs XD most memorable is, when I was younger, there was a song I heard so often that I just had to find it, but i didn't remember the singer or title... i remembered a bit if tune and one line "red sheep". I ended up hearing "Superman" by Five for fighting in pandora and it turned out it was "red sheet" XD

I have nothing better to contribute to this topic, other than telling you that it has a word/name for it.

I don't get how some people can mishear a lyric, if the lyric is sung multiple times in the song, and it is the song title.

I used to think 'Staying Alive' was 'Burning Up''

Also in Patti Smith's 25th Floor (it contains swearing, before you google it) has a line 'wrap my legs round you' which I always thought was 'Grandma looks round you' and I definitely prefer my version!

Oh, this is a perfect thread for me, LOL.

I've misheard many lyrics, and laughed at commonly misheard ones. But I'll only share my most memorable.

Back before I was a fan of TFK, I heard their music on Pandora. One of the songs being "War of Change". In that song there's a line that goes "Take up my cross, not be afraid." But for awhile I heard it as "Take off my clothes, not be afraid." LOL, it was only until I saw the lyric video that I heard it correctly. And boy did I have a good laugh then.

until the 7th grade i wondered what soped meant because i thought "one horse open sleigh" in jingle bells was "one horse soped sleigh :^Y

My 5th Grade Teachers Daughter Said ''Jinger Balls." Instead Of "Jingle Bells xD

In "Blank Space" Taylor Swift sings "Got a long list of ex-lovers" and I heard "Got a love of starbucks lovers" when I first listened to it.

[huskyderp]

xD I thought it said "starvex lovers"

In "Blank Space" Taylor Swift sings "Got a long list of ex-lovers" and I heard "Got a love of starbucks lovers" when I first listened to it.

I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING I THOUGHT THIS FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.
I only realized I was wrong when I was singing it with my friends and wow did they correct me.
