In Queen's "Another one Bites the Dust" there's a part where Freddie hurriedly says what I'm pretty sure is "bite the dust, yeah!" but for years my mom and I misheard it as, "I'm adopted!" We still jokingly sing it incorrectly despite knowing better. Honestly, we always knew that couldn't REALLY be the lyric. It's just funnier to imagine him randomly admitting to being adopted in a song that otherwise has nothing to do with it.

[@Schreuganoot]

Fun fact: the word Mondegreen is a misheard lyric as well (but as in, poetry). Can't remember who coined it but she said how as a child she remembered a poem that was often recited to her, and there was a passage in it with something about "laid him on the green", which she misheard as "Lady Mondegreen."

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

It was from a _ballad,_ which is sort of halfway between a song and a poem, like it was written in a book but it's also commonly adapted to a song format. Anyway the ballad was called "The Bonnie Earl O'Moray" and the misheard verse included the titular earl's murder.

[@Rockraft]

It literally says that in the comment about the word at 0:39

[@DefinitelyNotShane]

This gives me big wenomechainsama vibes

[@viljamtheninja]

@@Nat_the_Chicken Ah, thank you for the correction, and for the added tidbit about why the poor earl was laid on the green and in what condition.

‘Stayin’ Alive’ by the Bee Gees was used in a commercial for the Danish airline Stena Line, resulting in a whole generation of Danish people thinking that the Bee Gees were actually singing “ah, ah, ah, ah, Stena Line! Stena Line!” I thought the same thing until I was like 10, and it occured to me that it would make no sense for them to be singing the name of an airline. Instead, I came up with the *much* more plausible theory that they were singing “ah, ah, ah, ah, stenalderen, stenalderen” (the Stone Age, the Stone Age) - never mind the fact that they’d have no reason to sing a Danish word, let alone the word for ‘Stone Age’ 😅

Fun fact: the German term for the word "mondegreen" is "Agathe Bauer" because there was a person who called a radio show for a song recommendation. Not knowing the title, and not fluent in English, they told the host: "play that one song where they always yell 'Agathe Bauer'!" What was the song in question? Snap's "I've got the power" Since this comment is gaining some traction, might as well add a few of my favourite Agathe Bauer songs: *"Hau auf die Leberwurst"* (Hit the liverwurst) - Hope of Deliverance from Paul McCartney *"Oma fiel ins Klo"* (Grandma fell in the toilet) - Oh my feelings grow (Chris Norman's Midnight Lady) *"Du musst besoffen bestelln"* (you have to order drunk) - it must've been something you said (Cutting Crew's I Just Died in Your Arms) *"Oh Anneliese popel nicht"* (Oh Anneliese don't pick your nose) - Cum angelis et pueris (Enigma's Sadness) *"Niemand kann das bezahlen"* (no one can pay for this) - mi manca da spezzare (Nek's Laura non c'è)

When I told her the real line was "Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo," she got very belligerent about insisting her version was right, even though, as I pointed out, her version didn't make any sense since it implies you are on the phone with a person never mentioned anywhere else in the song... while asleep!

Apparently, when my brother was younger he would ask my mom to play the "singing lettuce" song (Single Ladies) and when my mom was confused he sang "all the singing lettuce, all the singing lettuce" instead of "All the single ladies, All the single ladies" That was a good inspiration for a school presentation which I named "All the single lettuce, all the single lettuce" when it was about hyenas.

One day at lunch, a kid was humming Replay, “like a melody in my head, got me singing like…” and I piped up, “oh! I love that song!” And he looked at me like I had five heads. “You don’t really know that song,” he said incredulously. “You don’t even have a radio.” “I do!” I protested, upset. See, I would painstakingly dial slowly through the frequencies and WROTE IN A TINY NOTEBOOK all the music stations I could find, so he wasn’t wrong that my family didn’t listen to the radio. But I wanted this dude to know I was cool. So to prove it. I started singing. He actually started to seem slightly impressed as I nailed the song… up till the chorus. I didn’t know what an “iPod” was. I thought the singer saw the girl whenever he closed his eyes, and interpreted the song “na na na na everyday, got my EYEBALLS STUCK ON REPLAY-“ He laughed. SO HARD.

I speak absolute baby level Korean at home, and Gangnam Style was all the rage back when I was a kid. I was so confident in my korean comprehension and thought the words were "se sang way irae (세상 왜이래)" instead of "s-xy lady (섹시 레이데)" which means "world is going to shit" or "kids these days" lmao edit: my parents obviously never felt the need to correct me on that lol

[@riverscuomo7140]

I mean, to be fair, Gangnam Style is actually a satirical song about spoiled kids in rich districts in Korea, so your interpretation is just a more direct version

When i was 3, my fave song was Shot in the Dark by Ozzy. My mom loved it. But she also thought it was funny that i liked it too because I would ask to listen to "Shark in the Door." When I was about 11 we were listening to Heart of Glass and she admitted when she was a teenager, the song just came out and she misheard the lyric "love's true bluish light" as "love's true Jewish light" and never questioned it until she learned otherwise.

When I was younger I was so utterly convinced that the line “I’d give it all” in Budapest by George Ezra was actually: “Oh, baby dough.” My parents would burst into laughter each time I sang it, and I was so confused as to why.

I thought it was simply “Ahbeebeboo” and I literally live in Budapest

Wow, that’s a throwback!! That song came out during summer vacation after middle school, before high school when I was 14 in 2014. 🥹❤️‍🔥

I heard a variety of things First it was “a do vee do” I said that can’t be right and then it became “a do zee do” And then somehow it became “how do you do?”

What's better than Matt reading weirdly funny sentences you might ask? Matt SINGING weird sentences, that's for sure

[@suoh_tamaki]

my dad thought radiohead's creep said "im a tree, im a willow" because he'd only ever heard his mates sing it, and when he heard the actual song for the first time years later he was so shocked that it was "im a creep, im a weirdo"

My favorite misheard lyric is from a musical a really enjoy called Epic. In the song Warrior of the Mind, Athena is supposed to be singing “well done enlighten me what’s your name” But almost everyone including myself heard it as “well done you lied to me what’s your name”

When I was a kid I thought it was "shock me like an electrical field" instead of "shock me like an electric eel" and I thought "Yeah... electrical fields shock you MAYBE DON'T TOUCH THE ELECTRICAL FIELD NEXT TIME"

[@switchblade6]

In all fairness that could apply to either

[@KasaiRayquaza]

OH MY GOSH. I also did the "I guess it rains down in Africa." (I thought it was a metaphor for like how even the sunniest places get darkness.) Didn't realize the real words until a few years ago. From time to time I still sing "I guess it rains" because my young and edgy self made that song have a DEEP meaning.

Lyrics: “I can by myself flowers” My brain: I AM A GODDESS OF FLOWERS

[@Just.a.potato.22]

When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was "I give mama some flowers"

When I was little, I, for whatever reason, thought "come all ye faithful, come let us adore him" was "come all the faithful, worship the VIAGRA" first time I sang it that way my mum nearly died laughing
