I was soooo expecting Kim to give Penn a dessert facial during “Pie of Love”. 😂

[@Actrs12B]

When I first heard the song, I thought it said "bring me a pile of love". Lol

[@qkndc]

Me too I was just waiting for a pie in the face

[@ccappa2001]

yeah

[@mehpainter]

I honestly never heard “Pie Of Love” I always heard “Pile Of Love” but theirs is funnier for sure

[@perryervin9606]

Same here! The tension, ugh!

[@0507mommyto2]

There is a song the lyrics are "God is on the move" My then 5 year old was singing "God is on the roof" lol. I love misheard lyrics.

[@aprilduffey8481]

We sing it that way too!😂

[@MrHCify]

Mine too😂

[@cathipalmer8217]

I thought it was just me.

[@natalieeware]

I don’t know that song

[@abisha127]

God is on the move on the move HALLELUJAH!!!!

[@tootieq6527]

I always thought it sounded like Elton John was saying, “Count the head lice on the highway.” 😄

[@ppheard1254]

It is "Count the headlights on the highway"

[@missnaomi613]

My (grown) kids and I still sing it that way! 😂

[@ellas1755]

My favorite is “Two chickens are paralyzed” 😂

[@TheBudgielover34]

i know made me laugh still does

[@nickelrok144]

oh ya

[@CapybaraFilms0107]

I sang it to my mom and she looked at me like I was insane

[@samszczepanski2281]

MY GOD! Two chickens are paralyzed!

[@IDyumm]

I know right

[@sophiacooper1321]

Omg, Kim with cheese sticks and the pet shark was hilarious 😂

[@Londontea6]

😂😂😂

[@jislam007]

I’m so glad I’m not the only ones who mis-hears this lyrics❤️

[@Actrs12B]

There are actually books on misheard lyrics (I used to have some) and there is a term for it. It's called mondegreen.

[@IDyumm]

Meee toooo

[@manstersr]

Van Halen's Panama, my wife was singing "Had Enough". They did a hashtag misheard lyrics on The Tonight Show and someone wrote in that for Gloria Estefan's Rhythm Is Going To Get You, they sang "Elizabeth's Going To Get You" and someone thought Kiss' Rock And Roll All Nite was "I wanna rock and roll all nite...and PART of every day. (not all day, just part of it)

[@Ellelani1]

This is just perfect! Penns vocals are on point and then you have Kim with bean enchiladas! 😂 love you guys!

[@MammaOVlogs]

Proud To Be Ellen Agreed so funny

[@shannonk3817]

Amazing! When I was younger I thought “Gimme the beat boys and free my soul” in Uncle Kracker’s song Drift Away was “give me the people who are 3 months old” 👶🏻

[@KiaTheDMVBison]

Shannon K I thought he said, Gimme the B-Boyz. What did he know about breakdancing?

[@npeterson7899]

Haha... I always thought it was "Gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul"

[@kyliepollert8341]

Dobie Gray originally sang "Drift Away" in 1973. Uncle Kracker covered it, with help from Dobie on the bridge, in 2003.

[@feiradragon7915]

I sometimes misheard that one as "Give me the Beast Boy and free my soul."

[@Mistysmudge1]

I remember years ago working with someone who’s partner thought the song peaches was cruel, he thought they sang, moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of pigeons 😂🤣😂

[@TheHappyHen]

Omg! This might be my fav!

[@arnoldlee2148]

A sincere thank you to the Holderness family. My wife and I just found you a couple of weeks ago. The laughs and the levity you provide are immeasurable. Again, many thanks and blessings to you and your family. Take care. Peace

[@MsRobinJack]

When I was a kid I thought the lyric was "Sittin' downtown in a railroad station one TOE over the line." My folks were always warning me about the "line" I better not cross, figured this guy was suffering the consequences!!!!

[@beckywaltemyer260]

When my son was little he thought Hollaback Girl was “ain’t no calling Bat Girl”. We loved it so much he’s 18 and the whole family still sings it his way! 😂

[@joeylynneperry2650]

Who would really complain about being held close by Tony Danza though?😍😉😂😂

[@ttaylor758]

When I was a kid, I had a buddy who thought "do the hustle" was actually "chew the hot dog". My ex's best friend thought when Prince sang, "hey little red corvette", that he was saying "pay up the rent Collette."

[@robertbonser8916]

I always thought "Secret Agent man" was "Secret Asian Man"

[@unclepewter4161]

There’s actually a parody of it by that name

[@MJones-ep8hf]

🤣 me too!

[@SeanCwilich]

So did my father.

[@regalcartoon5932]

My dad used to say that all the time. Now when ever I’m in public I can’t help but say...SECRET! ASIAN! MAN!

[@sabrinalavallo1064]

LOL HAHAHA

[@goaway3650]

I love the broken arms one 😂 LOL

[@MammaOVlogs]

GO AWAY Me too

[@AddysonVersus]

I literally had a broken arm when I heard this song

[@nancymathews521]

Please do a part 3 of these misheard lyrics!! The one that I only figured out recently was cat stevens’ peace train where I always thought he said,“come on and be strange”.

[@charlottehill2539]

When I was little I always used to sing fly like a cheese sick

[@isabellarincon1979]

Same!

[@morganbuckley808]

In what song

[@morganbuckley808]

Never mind

[@Jack_OutsideTheBox]

[@lindseypowell7695]

Just found you all, and what a fun, silly, sweet and precious family! Thank you for all the smiles and laughter. 🤗

[@theyankeegal13]

shout out to the nicole who inspired the song lyric from frozen that i often mishear. I always hear nicole never bothered me anyway.

[@IDyumm]

Lol 😂

[@kathleenc8]

Thank you, Penn!!! @ 1:15 I was so sure I was the ONLY one who thought it was bathroom on the right. I heard the song on My Girl during the bumper cars scene. And I swore that was the line. But my mom corrected me. And told me no one thinks that way. So glad I ain't alone!!!

[@jim7128]

The beginning of Hotel California was one of the best misheard lines. "On a dark desert highway. Cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of fajitas (should be calita's), rising up through the air.

[@polemicgoblin1254]

Kim you Vanna Whited that video with awesomeness! Penn your singing rocks as usual.

[@christaltucker306]

The one that goes “all by my self” I thought it sounded like “ Obama’s elf”

[@allisvn4091]

Am I the only person for Blank Space heard “And all those Starbucks lovers will tell you I’m insane” 😂

[@Gclover1231]

SushiHusi Gamer nope i did too till i looked up the lyrics

[@matthewwood2333]

xAlly nope, I’m guilty of doing that XD but now I know it isn’t that

[@mclairerising3200]

xAlly I here that too

[@jillianlovell5448]

Nope....

[@lukamite0]

It’s because the lyrics are “starburst lovers” but in the song talor swift says “Starbucks lovers” for no real reason

[@RobinDeeter]

Funniest thing I've heard in a long time! Love you guys! When I was a kid, I thought Elvis' song "Return to Sender" was actually "Return December". LOL I was a Christmas enthusiast back then. lolol

[@McGillFamilyAdventures]

For the longest time (like in forever) I thought the lyrics to Bad Boys was “bad boys bad boys watcha gonna do when they KUNG FU you “

[@tabethabaldridge4975]

🤣🤣🤣

My second grade teacher’s name was Amber Young

[@allisonhoff5805]

My sister used to sing hilarious lyrics to every Journey song ever. Things like: Journey: Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world Sister: Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely well (like the ring girl) Journey: The smell of wine and cheap perfume Sister: The smell of wine and sheep perfume Journey: Everybody wants a thrill Sister: Everybody wants a grill and on and on. Listening to her sing our childhood songs is HILARIOUS, and so was this vid. Thanks!

[@ellacoller5736]

You guys should DEFINTELY make a second one. This is SOOOOOO hilarious!

[@gemmagrantham1467]

"She got too close so I farted" and that's how you maintain social distance guidelines

[@yvonneyvonne2513]

Works for me! I will try it next time I go grocery shopping.

[@specialisr.6254]

Mine growing up was... Real lyrics: going to the chapel and we're gonna get married I heard: going to the jackelatern gonna get married. Never could figure out the relationship between a pumpkin and marriage, but I was young!

[@aidenslade6860]

Specialis Revelio I died 🤣

[@chelsealong5191]

Well Cinderella rode a pumpkin carriage to the ball to meet Prince Charming. Then they ended up getting married. So in a roundabout way I can see the connection.

I always heard “I run to you with open arms”

[@Kaldridge1025]

I always thought the lyrics of Carrie Underwood’s song before he cheats said “carved my name into his legacy.’ When my niece was 5 years old her mom got a video of her singing Miley Cyrus song wrecking ball. But my niece saying I came in like oregano.

[@westasia10]

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING ABOUT "BEFORE HE CHEATS"!!!!! My Mom STILL makes fun of me for that! I'm glad somebody else thought the same thing! :)

[@avimo2565]

Like in Yesterday

[@tabethabaldridge4975]

OMGosh... the "Piña Colada" song is one of my favorites!! My son Noah, 9 years old, used to sing it to me, "Do you like eating enchiladas..."

[@wendyerwin3413]

Katie Perry lyrics are my favorite ones to butcher. My kids keep telling me she's not singing "dancin' like a spider" or "I'm comin' at ya' like a dinosaur," but I'm sticking to it. Thanks for making us laugh!

[@caseyjolley7852]

That smashup was "fly like a cheese stick."

[@helenetrstrup4817]

The misheard lyrics that I can't seem to get out of my head no matter how many time I read/hear the actual lyrics is in Adele's Rolling in the Deep. In the backup vocals, I always hear: "I don't wanna be a sheep, never had man meat" 🤣

[@dalebwood]

In Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” I though the lyrics were “oooh, we’re halfway there, oooh living on a prayer, take my hand, we’ll get naked upstairs...”

Oh wow, I see how you got that but still that’s surprising to me (since my whole family [or at least those who live in the same house as me] all know the lyrics to 80’s songs pretty well because for a while that’s all I’d listen to)

[@MrsWheezer]

The one that has stuck with me forever: You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel. Four hundred children and a crop in the field. (Kenny Rogers’ You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille$

I told my mom about this. I sang, “Do you like bean enchiladas?” and she said, “Oh good grief.” Also, if I told one of my friends about the ABBA part, he might lose his mind.

Me too, and I thought if I was pregnant I would be sick of swimming too. Sea sick anyways! They should totally do a Disney version of this. A Whole New World: instead of “every moment red letter” I heard “every moment gets wetter.”

[@emmaline3305]

I misheard a few of these as well. Especially the one by Zac Brown. My family sung it like that and thought those were the real lyrics for more than a week till we were told that its not the way it's sung, by a neighbor.

My little sister and I were wrapping a pile of Christmas Presents and we only had one tape dispenser. The song Celebrate by Madonna came on and she thought she was singing: "pass the tape. We have got to get together and pass the tape". She sang it like that for years. I didn't have the heart to tell her. And she got so into it, which made it way funnier. She probably still does it.

In the 80's, my younger brother was 5 the Kool and the Gang song "Take My Heart (You Can Have It)" would play on the radio and instead of singing "You Can Have It", he heard "Dukes of Hazard!" and that's how he'd sing the chorus. I can't hear that song today without singing it the way he used to.

Happily discovered the Holderness Family last year, it has taken a while to watch and listen to all their great videos. Jimi Hendrix: "S'cuse me while I kiss the sky" heard as "S'cuse me while I kiss this guy" And a new take on a Silent Night lyric "round yon virgin" heard as "round, blond virgin"
