I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing

My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse

Turns out it was "strong beliefs", and not a medical term

I'm here to say that I figured out "stomp on the stoop when you hear the funk loop". It took me 30 years.

Dwight Yoakam - A Thousand Miles from Nowhere

For a chunk of my childhood, I always heard, "I've got heartaches in my pocket, I've got pickles in my head," rather than "echoes in my head." To this day, it's hard to unhear it.

I always thought she said trampoline

“My lovers got no money, he’s got his trampoline!”

I always thought Gala said Stromboli (he's got his Stromboli...) which would make half sense since she is italian

For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went '"doncha know that I love you", but it turns out, they say "l'm lovin' you".

That's not really a fair song to enter in a misheard lyrics thread.

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

But, there's so few lyrics in that song, and they say it repeatedly. When I first learned they say lovin' and not love, all I could think was the McLovin from Superbad. I'm mclovin youuuu....

Heard this the other day, the background vocals "who likes tacos"

If anybody remembers this from Del Amitri: https://youtu.be/K_s44LilaYM

I always heard "The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time the wrong week.

"She got too close, so I farted."

Zac Brown Band, "Knee Deep"

"Take off for nowhere" rather than "Take my breath away"

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Instead of the Go Go's saying "Our lips are sealed" I thought they were saying "Honest, Lucille."

We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.
