Kids In America by Kim Wilde:

Real lyrics:
Down town the young ones are going,
Down town the young ones are growing.

I heard:
Down town the onions are bowling,
Down town the onions are growing.

Song lyrics

(Kanye West)
And I heard 'em say
nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
From the Chi, Like Tim, it's a Hardaway
till this is in the name of love, like robert say
Before you ask me to go get a job today,
can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage?
And I know the government administer aids,
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cause
things we seein' on the screen not ours
but these niggas from the hood, so these dreams not far
where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars
but they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars
I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it, uh

Chorus:
And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today
But we'll find a way
(Adam Levine)
And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way

(Kanye West)
They say people in your life for seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin'
And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'
In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him
Till then in walk his footsteps and try to be him,
The devil is alive, I feel him breathin'
Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin'
And put them lottery tickets just to tease us
My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down,
So now my lil' cousin smokin' them cigarettes now
His job try to claim that he too niggerish now
Is it cuz his skin blacker than licorice now?
I can't figure it out, sick of it now,

Chorus:
And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today
But we'll find a way
(Adam Levine)
And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way

(Adam Levine)
With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
And nothin lasts forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way

Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer.

I made such a big mistake
When I was Mary's Prayer

My take: 'i made such a big mistake
when i was Barry's friend'

No wonder i haven't been able to find the song to download it until now.

Alabama 3 - Woke up this morning

You would think that after watching every episode of the Sopranos I'd have figured out the lyrics aren't 'blue mold in your eyes' but 'blue moon in your eyes'. You live and learn.

In Metallica's 'The God That Failed' i thought the lyrics were:

"I see beef in your eyes...i hear beef in your cries"

when in fact they are:

"I see faith in your eyes...i hear faith in your cries"

"The National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do,” but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it?" - Eddie Izzard

as an avid take that fan from the age of eight (i saw them live in 96! ) i genuinely thought that the lyrics to "it only takes a minute girl" were "its only salt and vinegar".

My dad was singing along to Sting's 'Englishman in New York' today with the words:

"I'm an alien, I'm an evil alien."

Then he was like, "You know, I never understand this song..." I do dispair of him.

Hehe, it does actually sound like that! But really it's:

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

I always hear Kate Bush warnling 'CAT DEELEY CAT DEELEY WOAH OH OH OH WOAH!!" in Wuthering Heights. I don't know what the actual words are but I'll presume it's not what I hear in my head.

I've just listened to it and all I can say is Alice, huh?. Ms. Knight definitely sings kill.
Her backing sings then go "to kill" which sounds alot like tik-ah, so I suppose if you were listening to it very loudly/quietly/ on sh*t speakers, you MIGHT hear "Licence to Ki-tik-ah". Maybe.

I officially invite you to the AMC. It says "Kit" there. After plenty of deliberation, it definitely does. In fact, all VRers welcome. We'll make a (K)night of it.

Daft Cow?

 
I've been to AMC twice in the past week, and I haven't heard it as License to Kitt. However it wouldn't be appropriate for this thread if those were the actual lyrics, as it wouldn't be so much 'misheard', as 'heard correctly'

Yet another Fall Out Boy song misheard.

The line "I'm a little man, but I'm also evil, also into cats" will forever be etched into my mind now.

I keep thinking they are saying "this ain't a scene, its a goddamn a*se race".
