Misheard Lyrics

We all have those songs whose lyrics we’ve completely messed up when singing in the shower or the car.

A few of mine:

Van Halen - Hot For Teacher

My lyric - I’ve got it made, got it made, got it made, I’m hot for teacher

Real lyric - Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, I'm hot for teacher

The Police - Every Breath You Take

My lyric - I’m a pool hall ace

Real lyric - How my poor heart aches

The Black Crowes - Remedy

My lyric - Are you the reason that punk is back?

Real lyric - Are you the reason that he broke his back?

Foreigner - Hot Blooded

My lyric - Come on baby, do you do modern dance?

Real lyric - Come on baby, do you do more than dance?

Creedence Clearwater Revival:
There's a bad moon on the rise.
My version: There's a bathroom on the right.

Creedence Clearwater Revival:
There's a bad moon on the rise.
My version: There's a bathroom on the right.

And I thought mine were bad

They were!

You know the Blur song "Song 2"? I honestly thought the first few lines were "I got my head shaved / by a trombone chick" until just now. Apparently it's "I got my head checked / By a jumbo jet." 

I used to think the lyric from Peter Gabriel's Jeux san Frontieres was "she's so funky...yeah". Instead of the considerably more obvious "jeux san frontieres".

I thought in Games Without Frontiers he was singing “ She’s so popular”.
