Amusing Misheard Lyrics

The Offspring - Trust In You

Misheard: your offering handjobs that I refuse

Real: your offering hand just set off the fuse

:D
 
I am sure that everyone has heard the Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams one.

Real: I walk alone
I and many other people hear: I wore cologne

Not really funny but the only one I can think of at the moment. :)
 
The Subways - Oh yeah

Real - it's your eyes that make me smile
Misheard - Itch your eyes and make me smile

Quite a lot of the cribs songs as well.
 
REM - Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

I hear: "Tony shall wake her up"
Reality: **** knows.

I believe the reality is actually: "Call me when you try to wake her up" (yes it does scan (just!))

Mine:

Stone Roses - Made of Stone
Actual: "Where the streets are cold and lonely and the cars they burn below me"
What I hear: "Where the streets are cold and lonely and Lee Carsley burns below me" (former Everton player)

Reef - Place Your Hands
Actual: "All Right Now"
What I Hear: "Paul Rideout" (another ex-Evertonian)
 
Kaiser Chiefs

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!

For years I thought was...Really Really Really! even thought the song is called Ruby :confused:
 
A friend from school:

Justin Timberlake: Cry me a River
Real: Cry me a river
Hers: crimea river - thinking it was a song about a river.

Kaiser Chiefs: Ruby

Real: Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby!
Gf: Really Really Really Really! Only found this out when I caught her in the kitchen singing it.
 
My own favourite: Marilyn Manson, New Model No. 15 [Mechanical Animals]:

"I could show Ken Dodd a Coke..."

A quick google shows I'm the only person in the world ever to have thought this, which is mental - it's obviously right. Clearly Brian kept his love for taunting toothy old Scouse jokechurners with soft drinks to himself. But I'm on to him...

My wife thinks Elvis' Jailhouse Rock line: "Shoulda heard those locked down jailbirds sing, let's rock." is actually "Shoulda heard them walk down Timbolt Street, let's rock." ????????
