Lyrics you heard wrong.

[TNDemo]

Mine was Groovin'. Where it says "You and me endlessly groovin'," I thought it said "You and me and Leslie groovin'." I always thought "who's Leslie?" Sounded like a menage a trois.

[atommom]

22. Yeah, it HAS to be "past", but dammit, it still sounds like PANTS! LOL!

10. The Four Season's "Walk Like a Man" (1963)

Real words: "Soon you'll be crying, Account of all your lying."

R.E.M.'s "Day Sleeper" always sounds like "Tasty Bird" to me. I thought it was about Thanksgiving.

I walk into my friends office when this was playing on the radio and she was singing "fly away on my cell phone" instead of "fly away on my zephyr"

Santana. It's actually "You've got persuasion." I giggle uncontrollably every time I hear that song. "You've got dysplasia!"

"Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap" sounds like "Thirty Teens and the Thunder Cheif," which I HAVE to use as a band name someday.
