My mum once thought one of the lines in Para-Noir by Marilyn Manson was "I fuck you because you're a paedophile".
It was actually "I fuck you because you're beautiful".

I myself have never made any mistakes when it comes to lyrics.
Except for when I did, but that was intentional.
Totally.
Yep.

Well, she doesn't listen to him. My sister was playing it in the car.
She does, however, listen to 2pac, Linkin Park, Bob Marley, and loads of obscure foreign bands.
She's like me. A total musical whore.

Not sure why I didn't do anything to stop it.

For the longest time I thought the lyrics in Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fists (People can no longer cover their eyes) were actually "Evil can no longer come on the rise". I thought they were being all heroic making a stand against evil.

Yes this can easily happen as it has to me if the singer slurrs their words which surprisingly can happen or has a weird accent(to you the listener).

That bollochs techn song "blue" I always thought it was "Im blue if I was green I would die" for some reason rather than some incoherent abadeabadi thing.

God I hate that song so much.

30 posts in and no one's mentioned what these things are called? Color me surprised.

They're <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen>mondegreens, <url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Mondegreen>by the way.

My ears can only hear a certain number of words per second which means I'm still none the wiser about a lot of the lyrics on Green Day's latest album. And I can only keep up with about 40% of SOAD's lyrics.

On topic and the subject of Green Day I initially thought American Idiot's chorus began "Welcome to a new competition"
...
it's not really that funny.
And I love the story behind the origin of mondegreens, kudos to NeutralDrow for mentioning them.

The worst one yet for me just happened right now watching ITV2.

It's the Venus razor advert, with the people singing "I'm your Venus". The trouble is they say it 'Ven-ihs' not 'Ven-uhs' and as such they honestly sound like they're singing "I'm your penis".

I mean it. Listen to it at some point and tell me it doesn't sound like that.
