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.

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

"Give me a lazer down this road that I must travel"

And there's a friend who famously thought that Coolio invited us to "come along and ride on a bad crustacean"

What the hell was that lyric anyway? i never did figure out what he was saying.

[Eurotrash]

i'm probably not alone on this one, but I could have sworn that the song "the freshmen" by The Verve Pipe went:


for the life of me, I could not believe we'd ever doubt forty cents, we were merely freshmen.



I remember figuring that one out way back when -- my friends and I had a good laugh at how wrong we were. i still kinda like my version better.

[B Dids]
