Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then l watch ‘em roll away again.

My whole life I’ve thought that last line was

They don’t want to roll away again.

MIND. BLOWN.

Justin Timberlake, Mirrors Confused
Actual lyrics:
“Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out”

What my ears hear:
“Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I fingered an owl

*Fairytale of New York

I always thought "the boys of NY city choir where singing Go Away" which kind of makes sense.*

Its the NYPD choir Grin

Whoah-Oh!
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand...
We’re naked, I swear.

Ha ha PeekaPeeka. Good to know. Always in the car on the way to work!

Step Into Christmas - I thought it ended "and be a Christmas tree"

Fairytale of NY "the boys of the NYPD choir were singing dull refrains"

Someone else who heard trombeleese!! Grin
I spent years trying to work out what one was

I've mentioned this before but it blew my mind when the penny dropped about this:

Boys of Summer

I always thought it was 'after the poison, summer has gone' and always wondered where the song title came from.

One day, it just clicked that it was 'after the boys of Summer have gone' Grin totally makes sense now!

My mind was blown to find out that lady gaga wasn't singing Chase your tail until you love me. I'm still not completely convinced.

If it’s the first thing you remember or the little things you miss

Rather than
If it’s the fighting you remember or the little things you miss

(The script if you ever come back).

I used to think the line in ABBA Super Trouper
“When I called you last night from Glasgow “ was “When I called you last night from Tesco”.

missbattenburg · 30/12/2018 22:07

I heard ‘Girl all the Starbucks lovers

’For ‘got a long list of ex lovers’ blank space Taylor swift..

I always hear "gather all your Starbucks lovers"

Westlife lyric I'll be ok now - I heard I'll be your caveman?!

BadgerWithSprouts · 30/12/2018 22:11

This will sound stupid but I always thought the lyrics to the Jamiroquai song was “I’ve got candy in my heels tonight baby” ...

Even though I knew the song was called Canned Heat Xmas Blush

Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake.

For the longest time i thought he was singing “I wanna fuck your body” instead of “I wanna rock your body”

Every time it came on the radio I was all Shock Shock at them playing a song full of swear words on the radio. I just couldn’t understand it. Until I learnt that I’d been mishearing the lyrics. Blush

My DM used to sing Pokerface - Lady Gaga as

"Cherry pie, cherry pie, all over the pokerface...."

Instead of
"Can't read my, can't read my pokerface..."

OMG Trombeleese, I completely forgot about that but we thought it was that too & always wondered what it was!!!! I think we should form a support group 😂

Bohemian rhapsody- "spare him his life for these warm sausageees"

Apparently, it spare him his life from this monstrosity.....

thesnapandfartisinfallible · 30/12/2018 22:34

La Isla Bonita. I always hear I fell in love with some bagel. Still don't know the actual lyric.

JimandPam · 30/12/2018 22:40

@ScreamingNotWaving @thesnapandfartisinfallible

I do you both one better

'Chocolate covered island trees
All of nature wild and free...'

I always wondered where this confectionery paradise was!
