I am sitting here listening to Pink Floyd's 'Dogs', and no matter the fact that I know the song lyric is 'everyone's a killer', I always hear it as 'everyone's a carebear', I mean, it just sounds exactly like 'carebear' the way it's sung. A little carebear always floats into my mind when I hear that lyric no matter what.

Another one is Blondie's 'Call Me', now, I didn't mis-hear this myself, a pal I grew up with did, when he was a kid he mistook the lyrics as being 'Cool The Beans', so, now everytime I hear that song I hear those words, I don't hear 'Call Me.'

i can't think of anymore right now, but i know there are others i always mis-hear.
 
rihanna's What's My Name

Sweet Disposition:
"Like no ones watching you."
I hear: "Black Moas watching you"

Uggh!! I know those aren't the words but I think it anyway :argh:
 
Here is something I heard from a friend at school, who was a big music fan and turned me onto lots of bands, I don't know where the hell he heard it though...he told me that the Rolling Stones song 'Angie' was actually Mick Jagger writing a 'love' song to Andy Warhol, and if you listen closely you can hear him sing Andy instead of Angie now and again, but, the thing is, if you go into the song thinking that, you hear him singing 'andy' all the time, haha, I did it yesterday listening to the song.
Now, i know that Bowie's wife caught Bowie and Jagger in bed together, y'know, just under the covers, so no-one knows if they got up to any experimental bi-sexual jiggery pokery 70s style(and Bowie, in the 90s, took back the claim he made in 1970 that he was bi-sexual), so I don't know if Jagger dug Warhol or what, or if, more likely, he was just messing about with the concept of the love ballad, and using it as a vehicle to pay tribute to the artist. Who, of course designed the famous Rolling Stones logo, of the lips and tongue, so maybe it was a payback for that, or maybe he was just singing about some woman called Angie.

"voice carry" by Til Tuesday

I used to hear "keep it down now , this is scary" . She says, "keep it down now, voices carry.


I found that out asking somebody about the song .
 
I used to hear "keep it down now , this is scary".

That made me laugh. :funny:

In Frou Frou's Breathe In:

"To run away with your inhaler, 'cause I love you" when it really says "To ride a wave on your inhaling, 'cause I love you".

Anna Molly by Incubus

The lyrics goes "proof for the prize"

My friend and I always sang it that way untill I looked at the lyrics.

Fall Out Boy's This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race.

Everytime they get to that part it sounds like they're saying "off space" instead of arms race.
 
Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam. By design, of course.

A girl I knew used to swear up and down that "My Sharona" was "My Corolla"
 
Pearl Jam - Even Flow
