Discussion Misheard lyrics

[littlelungs]

I was listening to Cold Heart by Elton John feat. Dua Lipa (one of the better songs currently on the charts, imo) and to me, it sounded like Elton John was singing this:

It's a human find​

When things go wrong​

When the sandwich has layers​

And temptation's strong​

Turns out the actual lyrics are:

It's a human sign​

When things go wrong​

When the scent of her lingers​

And temptation's strong​

My brain is all buggered up from chronic pain and brain fog, but I know that mishearing lyrics isn't something that's exclusive to brain fog, so...

What are some of your misheard lyrics?

 

[TooConscious]

If it works for you forget you ever realized this... If possible.
An imagined reality is no different than an experienced one. They are two of the same thing.

I'm always mishearing lyrics. Half the time I'll look up some lyrics and be like, wait, that's what they were actually saying?

In Radiohead's Karma Police I always thought he was saying "This is what you get when you mess with a friend." (He's actually saying This is what you'll get when you mess with us.)

Listening to it now I'm not sure why I ever thought that, but I'm just terrible at processing audio it seems.

There is this part of a metallica song "unforgiven"

The real lyrics are
They dedicate their lives, to running all of his

But in my mind is was
They dedicate their lives, to running out of time
