Misheard lyrics.

We all wonder why Fogerty told us "there's a bathroom on the right," or why Hendrix proclaimed "s'cuse me while I kiss this guy."

All of us have made up words to a song. With no liner note, we had to. It turns out that this guy did it better.

You'll never listen to Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter the same again. Remember kids, potato wave.

Listen, yo!

AWESOME

Anna's mom said she doesn't want to see Anna fall again. Potato Wave!

I was in tears after that. That was great.

Back when Betterman was a current pop hit and on the radio in the shop I was working at I changed it to Buttermilk. Only had to do it once and it stuck with my crazy buddy. He would be screaming along with the song "Can't find the buttermilk, can't find the buttermilk."

I always said, "Can't watch David Letterman."

(make me fries.)

AC/DC thunderstruck- "Now I 'm shakin at the knees, can I come in you please" Thats what I hear, even knowing the proper lyrics.

Sorry.

"Drugs are bad, m'kay."

my fav misheard lyric "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

So...along a similar line...but different.

Google something along the lines of "Literal interpretation of Total Eclipse of the Heart."

They change the lyrics to be more apropriate for the random-ass video. Funny stuff.

Pearl Jam has some great songs for this, I always remember:

"35 virgins on a pelican"

"she's....so.....POPular...."

via Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers"

And pretty much any White Zombie song. Sean Yseult was once asked what the lyrics were to a White Zombie song and she replied "we have no idea, the rest of the band has no idea what Rob is singing."

Literal videos are awesome. My fav AH HA - Take on Me

A friend of mine actually thought the lyrics to Aerosmiths "Train kept a rollin" was "Drinking Captain Morgans, all night long!" It was a good laugh and even more fun when you sing it in Rock Band.

Joe Cocker is a god. Plain and simple.

That video is proof, the man speaks in tongues.....

In the part of "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" where they keep repeating in a low grovelly voice "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap", a guy I knew thought they were saying "Thunder king and the thunder chief".

Also, in Nine Inch Nails' song "Down In It" where he says "I was up above it!", a friend of mine thought he was saying "How is everybody?!"

I read an interview with Craig Wedren of Shudder to Think (one of my faaavoritist bands evar) where he said that that's how he wrote the lyrics to a lot of their songs; misinterpreted lyrics from other songs. I thought that was pretty awesome.

Hold me closer, Tony Danza... count the bedbugs on the hiiiiiiighwaaaaaay.

"Wrapped up like a douche and somethin somethin in the night." Also, I thought that was an Elton John song for the longest time.

The Eagle's 'Life in the Fast Lane': for a while I could have sworn he was saying 'I do the right thing', which didn't square at all with the other lyrics.

I thought it was "ripped up like a douche"?

Believe it or not, the database for misheard song lyrics is:

No kidding. I found it looking for a song. (I heard that.)

My favorite is "...rock and roll all night and part of every day."

Reference the OP: I like Pearl Jam but I swear Eddie Vedder eats a sandwich while he's singing.

On the (in)famous Jimi Hendrix lyrics, there's a local restaraunt that advertises 'S'cuse me while I eat this pie'.

Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

Not the real lyrics... Don't tell Tom Cooper, he will be crushed.
