It's actually pretty awesome that you misunderstod the lyrics AND the title. By the by, "Look to the Sky" sounds like it would be a terrible song.

An ex of mine once said a family friend that ELO's "Strange Magic" went "oh God I strai-ained my dick"

That version is SO much better than the original.

That's not what he says?

I just found out I'd been mis-hearing "Paper Planes," where she says "I'll get one done in a second if you wait". I had been singing "I get on down in a sentimental way."

When I was a kid, I think I remember hearing that chorus as "We gonna tear that-a line up." as in, "We need to get over the county line fast before the sheriff catches us" or something.

Bon Jovi: Bad Medicine.

The line is, "shake it up, just like bad medicine". I always thought he said "she gives love that's like bad medicine".

I like my lyric better.

As I drove to work this morning, I realized that certain lyrics could not possibly be what I believed them to be:

Band: Wang Chung

Song: Dance Hall Days

The Actual Lyrics: We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze...

What I hear: We were soaked in lies
In our dance hall days
We were cool on Christ...

I like my lyrics better.

When I was four, my mom was playing the radio and the song "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc came on. I started singing to it, only I thought the chorus went:

"Won't you take me to, the fucking town!"

I had heard my dad use that word before, and since it seemed to be featured prominently in a song I thought it was okay to sing.


My mom made it very clear that it was not.

Damn near every Radiohead song.

"I'm a creep/I'm a widow." Huh? Oh, WEIRDO. Gotcha.

And it goes on.

Me too, since that's what I thought they were as well.

Not much of a miss, but for years, I thought they lyric in Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" was "... with some roly-poly little rat-faced girl." Turns out it's "bat-faced girl," which doesn't make nearly as much sense in my mind as "rat-faced," but hey, I didn't write "The Sounds of Silence", so what do I know?

I remember realizing that Billy Joel is singing "the piano sounds like a CARNIVAL" as opposed to "the piano sounds like a PARABLE" in "Piano Man."

I debated writing him a letter with my improvement, but then realized I hate that fucking song anyway.
