Favorite Misheard Song Lyrics

[ElkinFencer10]

So I was listening to Pandora just now (as I always do while I grade tests) and thought that it might be fun to share some of our favorite misheard song lyrics. Could be funny ones, could be weird, could just be random shit that - for whatever reason - we thought we heard in a song when we were kids. I'll start with one in a song that I'm listening to now.

In the chorus of Slipknot's song "Wait and Bleed," one line says "Inside my shell, I wait and bleed." I figured I was hearing it wrong, but for years, I kept hearing it as "Inside Michelle, I wait and bleed." Needless to say, that conjured some...interesting...mental images.

Admitting to listening to Slipknot takes bravery.

I remember back in 1996, when I first discovered the "World Wide Web", there were tons of websites dedicated to this very topic.

As a kid I always thought the chorus of NIN's "Last" said "this is a mental ass" as opposed to "this isn't meant to last."

Admitting to listening to Slipknot takes bravery.

Hey man, I love the shit out of Slipknot, and I'll openly admit that.

In the From First to Last song "One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine," the first words are "KILL THE LIGHTS," and I was listening to that on the way to school one morning when I was in middle school, and my mom was CONVINCED that Sonny Moore was screaming "KILL THE WHITES," and she got so concerned. I was like "Mom, literally everyone in that band is white, and so are most of their fans." She was just like "....oh."

I love this video of misheard lyrics for Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter:

I assumed I was wrong about:

"You're under the gun so you take it on the run"

but I looked it up, and that's actually the lyric!
