The new Cingular commercial got me laughing with the two guys mishearing the lyrics to "Rock the Casbah" as "stop the catbox".

My husband used to sing the Huey Lewis song Heart of Rock & Roll like this:

Misheard lyric: They say the heart of rock & roll is in Cleveland
Real lyric: They say the heart of rock & roll is still beatin





Have you guys "misheard" any lyrics to songs?

OH GAWD! I am KNOWN for this. My DH and our circle of friends pick on me for it daily. I ALWAYS mishear lyrics!!


Some examples:

My Lyric: I'll never be your pizza burning
Real Lyric: I'll never be your beast of burden


My Lyric: Honey's Money
Real Lyric: Mony Mony

My Lyric: I'm cold and I am chained, lying naked on the floor
Real Lyric: I'm cold and I'm ashamed, lying naked on the floor

My Lyric: Your body's a wanderin'
Real Lyric: Your body is a wonderland

My lyric: Yall gonna make me lose my mind, pumpin gas, pumpin gas.
Real Lyric: Yall gonna make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here


I also used to call Amoco gas stations ( UH MO CO) Until DH corrected me when I was 24!

Everybody always makes fun of me cause I always pronounce Home Depot , home-de-pot instead of home-de-po. I have ALWAYS called it home de pot and can not break the habit.There are a few other but I forget what they are.

OK, nanci39, you just made me spill my afternoon Coke Zero because I laughed so hard at your Billie Jean lyric. I have ALWAYS thought that's what it sounded like, too.

My college roomate thought that the Winter Wonderland song talked about perspiring (instead of conspiring) while dreaming by the fire. Fitting and probably true, but still very funny.

By the way....the archive of misheard lyrics is located here:

Read the site to find out how it got it's name :-)

This one actually came from my brother when we were younger.I laughed so hard i cried.

AC/DC
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
Dirty Deeds and The Thunder Chicks.

:-)

I live in Cleveland and there really is a version of the Heart of Rock N Roll that says "The heart of Rock N Roll is in Cleveland. " That started when the Rock Hall of fame was built. ...

I actually saw an interview with them that said that they were going to make that the original lyric, and that was waaaaaaaaaay before the RR Hall of Fame was built. So, when DH and I saw that VH1 interview he was like "HAH!" so I have to give him partial credit..LOL.



Here's another one from my sister

1985 by Bowling For Soup:

Original Lyric: Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana

She heard: STACY, Madonna, way before Nirvana.


She asked me "Who is STACY"?? I was like WHAAAT??
