I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was “strong beliefs”, and not a medical term
Have a listen: https://song.link/t/70681623
“Take off for nowhere” rather than “Take my breath away”
I’m here to say that I figured out “stomp on the stoop when you hear the funk loop”. It took me 30 years.
For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went ‘“doncha know that I love you”, but it turns out, they say "l’m lovin’ you".
That’s not really a fair song to enter in a misheard lyrics thread.
But, there’s so few lyrics in that song, and they say it repeatedly. When I first learned they say lovin’ and not love, all I could think was the McLovin from Superbad. I’m mclovin youuuu…

I always heard "The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time the wrong week.

“I set fire, to Lorraine” by Adele (set fire to the rain). “Parrot, parrot, parrot eyes” by Coldplay (Paradise)
Paradise is the song with the weird elephant music video, right?
I thought it was monkeys
“Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”
Turns out is actually deuce.
That actually makes even less sense.
It’s referring to a two-stroke engine.
Generally it’s a 2-door car, specifically a 1932 Ford.
Not a motorcycle?!?!
This seemed like such a motorcycle song!

I always heard “wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night” and happily sung that in bars.

I was a huge blink182 fan back in 99-02. I didn’t understand what the prank in that prank call was. It wasn’t until much much later that I started going through their albums again that I realized what Mark was actually saying. Looked up the lyrics and my jaw hit the floor. I remember sitting in front of my computer laughing until I was sweating at not only how that’s a legit good prank call but I’d been singing it wrong for the better part to two decades.
I used to think the Kiss song went “I wanna rock and roll all night… and part of every day.”
We found Lois Griffin
I mean, partying every day just results in Slurms McKenzie.

Moderation is key for everything, after all.
“Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!”
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
Michael Scott I guess ?
It was Thunder Chief for me. I figured he must be bad juju.
You’re not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.
And when I learned about “dunder” or “double underscore” methods in Python, my first thoughts were:

Oh I was singing loudly along with Elton John one day, “Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another maaaan” as I had done every time I heard the song when I suddenly realized that probably wasn’t something someone would sing in the 1970s, looked it up and the NAME of the song is Love Lies Bleeding.

Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man
Annie are you walking? Annie are you walking? Are you walking, Annie?
We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.
In yoga, they have us sit in “sucasana” (also known as criss-cross applesauce) and I always t hear it as the polite form of tu casana, and Namaste also sounds like a Spanish word to me, every time. Tu Namaste tambien!
Yeah, the su/tú (you) form is easy and tricky to learn: su/vuestro(a)/su mercé are polite forms; tú/vos are informal forms. Our brains trick us with the easy/most used path to identify patterns and meanings.
Sukhasana (from Sanskrit) sounds like a mix of su (Spanish) Casana (from Italian/Trukish) =)
I think you heard from some novela the phrase: ¿(tú) me amas(te) también? Good to know that I’m not the one that fights with my brain mixing words in 4-5 languages.
