    It's funny to hear that it's not always just the listener that messes up lyrics to a song.

    Reba McEntire has a song "the last one to know" with the lyrics written as "Why is the last one to know the first one to cry, the first one to let go."

    When Reba originally recorded the song, she recorded it as "The Wife Is The Last One To Know". She thought it was an error on the lyric sheet, but her producer sent her back to the studio to re-record that portion of the song with the correct lyrics that the writer had written.

    I won't tell you what I misheard on the This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race song. Far too rude. :lol:

    I'm in love with your bacon and I don't even know your name

    Real lyric

    One of my favorite 80's songs is You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive (not sure why, it sort of makes me laugh, and it's incredibly catchy).

    The actual lyric is:
    "I want some, want some"

    I heard:
    "I want someone's son"

    I heard this song yesterday and it reminded me...

    The first time I heard I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance, I thought it was 'I'm a nerd, okay?' instead of 'I'm not okay'

    I still sing my version :rolleyes:

    When I first heard "breathless" by The Corrs I heard this:

    Misheard: Go on, go on, leave me breakfast.
    Actual: Go on, go on, leave me breahtless.

    It already made me wonder why the song was called breathless and not breakfast lol

    :lol: Okay I think I just peed a little.

    I think I've tried to learn 'Achy-breaky Heart' one too many times and came up with:

    Actual lyrics

    "But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
    I just don't think it'd understand
    And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
    He might blow up and kill this man."

    I heard:

    "And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
    He might grow up with a man."

    :rolleyes:

    For anyone who has seen either Napoleon Dynamite or Center Stage, my friend used to mess up the song Canned Heat by Jamiroquai...

    The real lyric is:
    Got canned heat in my heels tonight

    She kept singing:
    Got canned heat in my ears tonight

    She did that for the longest time, and I finally had to correct her one day.

    Yes, I had the same! You don't really hear a difference between can and can't when she sings it. :lol: Oh well, can't indeed doesn't make much sense when seen in context with the rest of the song, so... :p

    OMG! :lol: I remember at this The Corrs website they had changed the whole song into "Leave me Breakfast". It was hilarious, I should look it up again.
