Misheard Song Lyrics

[dsm]

Paul McCartney

"Maybe I'm Amazed"

(for many years thought it was)

"Baby I'm Amazed"

Zeppelin:

..and she's buying a stairway to heaven

(sounded to me like)

..and she's barring a stairway to heaven

Missing Persons

Walkin' In L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

(for a long time thought it was)

Walkin' in a Lake, nobody walks in Lake

B-52s: Love Shack

Tin Roof... Rusted

(thought it sounded something like)

Henrooo... rustit

'Til Tuesday

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry

(thought it was)

Hush hush, keep it down now, oh so scary

[Yeti]

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot.

I thought it was 'I put it to rest'.

[Jaskohouston]

Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner - "Big Old Jet Airliner"

My dad proclaimed "what the hell" while at the age of 10 I was singing along with his classic rock station

"Big Old Jed Had a Light On, don't carry me too far away"

Listen to it. It still think that's what it sounds like.

I knew they obviously weren't the real lyrics, but as a kid this sounded EXACTLY like

"Big ol' Chad and a rhino, don't carry me too far away"

to me.

I used to think it was "Please don't turn that light on."

Don't laugh, until you listen to it.

I was the only one in my peer group who recognized the word "Exodus", when my friends all heard, "The Excorcist is near," in The Who's Baba O'Reilly

And don't forget "We didn't start the fire", where Billy Joel sings about the "Children of Thalidomide". Tell me you didn't think he said, "Children of the little mind."

(BTW, "China's under martial law" was originally "Poison apples in the store", but the China line was inserted at the last minute, to reflect the then-current Tienamen protest.)

[Rushmore]

Hendrix, Purple Haze:

"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."

My wife thought that in "Sweet Home Alabama" they're saying "Big wheel keep on turning, carry me home to see my kids".

In Green Day's "When I Come Around" I always heard the line "so don't knock down my door" as "sell donuts at my door"
