What the hell do you mean “like a kiss from a rose on the gray!?”
No idea what song it is but what if it’s intentional that it sounds so similar …

Honestly there’s several weird pseudo-deep lyrics in that song so… maybe. He does use graying to describe the tower at the start. I think it’s probably just happenstance and pronunciation tho.
I just learned that in Collective Soul’s Shine, he’s not saying “you haven’t let your light shine down”. But it’s actually a Jesus song and 'heaven let your light shine down." Over 30 years I was wrong lol
Hey now, you’re a rockstar, get the show on, get laid
I refuse to accept that those aren’t the lyrics.
It was but they had to change it for Shrek and the G-rated version became the canonical one.

At a punk gig once I heard:
“Titties and cheesecake! Titties and cheesecake! Titties and cheesecake!“
They were actually singing about “Tinnies (Aussie for beer) on Tuesday”. Not as good IMO.
Like a dog without a bone, like an actor OUT OF ROLE
For fuck’s sake Jim, actor out on loan, pff! What had he been smoking?
'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep
up above in my head
All the thoughts in my head

I saw them live last year for the finale tour and even live, I heard “up above in my head”
Yeah, those are the actual lyrics. It’s “all the thoughts in my head” that’s misheard.
Yeah my bad, that was a little ambiguous. Very funny to accidentally blow this person’s mind though.
you really did!
Omfg. I bought All Killer No Filler the first week it was in stores. And I heard your interpretation ever since. Hot damn, thank you so much for chiming in. And fuck.
To be clear “up above in my head” are the actual lyrics, but I only learned that fact a few weeks ago. I like my version better.
“‘E’ for very, very, extra ordinary.” VS “‘E’ for very, very, extraordinary.” The way I heard it performed always sounded like two separate words. I was like, “damn, she couldn’t just be nice the whole song?” I finally read the lyrics when I was older.
“I don’t want another heartache at my door, don’t want another heartache on my list” VS “don’t want another heartache on my lips.”
I don’t know any misheard lyrics, because I refuse to believe the way I hear the lyrics isn’t correct.
(Actually I used to have a list, but I’m old and I forgot it 😢)
not always. I saw this in a forum meant years ago, I wish I had saved a screenshot or something…
the forum thread was about the dumbest lyrics in songs and someone said sanitarium by metallica had these lyrics:
Got some death to do
Mirror stairs back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly wordand complained it’s nonsense. why would stairs be made of mirrors, and what did that have anything with the rest… also what does stairs back hard even mean, etc …
as you may have guessed even if you don’t know the song, the lyrics are “mirror stares back hard”, which means the person is talking about their own reflection having a look in their eyes.
not only were the misheard lyrics dumb, but I always admired the sheer confidence of the person who, upon hearing these nonsense lyrics, instead of using their internet access to look it up to confirm, used it to complain how stupid it was without thinking twice about whether they could have misunderstood.

I always heard:
Picture yourself (At) the MGM Grand Murphy’s fighting how come You’re in the stands?
I loved this line as it was calling out the assumption when you picture something big, why are you in the crowd and not the star of the show? It felt motivating and a fun play on the way people imagine themselves in the world.
It’s actually:
Picture yourself The MGM Grand Murphy’s fighting Occam You’re in the stands
Which, just doesn’t do any of the things the misheard lyric does. So disappointing.
Here’s to you Mrs. Robinson; She’s a slutty moron you should know.
That could fit with the film.
Someone once told me that they thought the line in Uptown Funk was, “I’m too hot, hot ham!” and I’ve been hearing it that way ever since.
It’s a relatively minor difference, but for decades, I thought the lyric in Smashing Pumpkins’ Muzzle went
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed at once 🎵
and it’s been one of my favorite lines in any song. Except I was wrong. It goes
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won 🎵
It’s not a favorite anymore.
in my mind, the lyrics of no surprises by radiohead will always be
no one laughs and no surprises
rather than
no alarms and no surprises
