    I actually really like Nikki Minaj and she's saying "You're like pelican fly". Don't ask me what it means.

    You know the song Zombie by The Cranberries? They sang, "Zombies, in my head, in my head" I used to think it was "Salami, in my hair". Made no sense, but I was 15 -

    And "Secret Agent Man" will ALWAYS be "Secret Asian Man" to me.

    I don't listen to her, but your question reminded me of a misheard lyric thing I had...for a long time before realizing I was mishearing it XD

    The song is Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers:

    I used to think it said: "With the burden of shame its so lonely with you."
    Until I discovered the correct lyrics: "With the birds I'll share this lonely view."

    Personally I prefer how I think it sounds haha

    When I was a kid

    the Journey song "open arms"

    I thought it was about frosty the snowman.



    "frosty the snowman in open arms" it made no sense.

    There's so many to choose from - I must have serious cloth ears! Most embarrasing one:

    The song 'Do you Love Me' by The Contours (the song played in Dirty Dancing)

    The real lyrics:
    I can mash potato!
    Do the twist!
    Tell me baby!
    Do you like it like this!

    Misheard lyrics:
    I'm your m*sturbator!
    Do the twist!
    Tell me baby!
    Do you like it like this!

    Given that the song was in DIRTY Dancing, I never actually questioned it, thinking it made sense within the context of the film :blushing:

    Also:

    Radiohead - Paranoid Android

    The real lyrics:
    From a great height....from a great height.....

    Misheard lyrics:
    From a greyhound....from a greyhound....

    Funny my girlfriend just told me she thought the LMFAO song "said I've got an erection in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it."

    In the Newsboys song Born Again, it sounded like he was singing "Giving Him the fist bump" but he was singing "Giving Him the best of". I knew that couldn't be correct but for a while I called it the fist bump song. :laugh: :laugh:

    My favorite is STP Interstate Lovesong "Feelin' like a ham and mustard shake" which is really "Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame". I told this one to my husband and now he's pissed because that is what he hears now instead of the "REAL" lyrics!
