Me and a friend were playing Halo 2, delta halo. We were talking about how useless the marines were and that lead on to a Johnson bash. Just after my friend said he was a useless idiot his voice came on the TV and said; 'I HEARD THAT, JACKASS!'

We were in stiches!

When I finally convinced my little brother to give starcraft a try, he thought the SCVs were saying "Three quarters for dandy" when they said "Reportin' for duty".

I hope "dandy" isn't an actual euphemism for something. That'll make this even more awkward.
Oh Starcraft. Oh Starcraft.
I was convinced the Siege Tanks always said "Rose-eatin'!"*, Protoss Zealots were telling me "My Life is Iron,"* the Goliaths were constantly going on about "Channel Logan"* and the Terran drop ship wanted me to know that "We're at the shop,"*



*"Proceding"
*My Life for Aiur,"
*"Channel open"
*"We're in for some chop,"

You will all rofl at this.

When I was like between 4 and 8 years old I played the fuck out of C&C Tiberian Dawn for the PS1, and perpetually misheard EVA's lines because of the degraded audio quality.
When I was younger, two of my better friends often played Tiberian Sun.
I often heard the NOD building/unit announcer voice wrong.
Such as hearing "Sorry, but I need it" when you sold something.

Blinded by the Light- "wrapped up like a deuce/douche"
That brings up a good point.

What does he say in that song?
The actual word is Deuce, which is a slang term for a 1950's race car from a specific part of the North. I want to say it was northern Jersey.

My family and I were having dinner at some restaurant when I was a kid, and when the waiter came up to our table to introduce himself, he said, "hey, my name is Mark, and I'll be taking care of you this evening" (or something similar). After he'd left, my sister said, "hay is for horses." My mother just stared at her incredulously for a moment; she'd thought my sister had said, "he's gorgeous."

We all still get a laugh out of that story occasionally.

There are also a couple incorrect expressions I see and hear very frequently that are more annoying than humorous.

[li]"For all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes."[/li]
[li]"You've got another thing coming" instead of "you've got another think coming," which is actually understandable considering the original is meant to be a pun and seems incorrect.[/li]

Also, back before Experts Exchange added a hyphen to their domain name, it was very easy misinterpret. There's a list of similarly unfortunate domains somewhere if I can find it. (Edit: Top 10 [http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2006/07/26/top-10-worst-domain-names/] and another 20 [http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2007/01/26/20-more-unfortunate-domain-names/])

Apparently, if you ask someone "Can i probe you anally and can you tell me the time exactly please?" they will tell you the time and assume they misheard the first part of the question. I've never tried it myself but it would be funny if it worked.

Family guy theme- when Stewie says "laugh and cry" it sort of sounds like "effin cry"
...He doesn't say "effin' cry?" Oh dear. I've been wrong for years.

Oh dear. I've been wrong there, too.

I knew someone who thought The Police's song "Synchronicity" was a really Lipton tea ad. She was hearing, "Sip on instant tea!" I think of that every time I think of that song.

Does the zealot say G-House? I never really knew what they said.

I love this video. The lyrics to this song are completely different. When I looked them up I was surprised. I prefer the ones from this video. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2I5Ps8igYo]

The best misheard lyrics for a song is "Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam.

this wasnt a mispronounciation more than a misinterpretation:

me - "uh oh"
her - "what?"
me - "can you hold my banana a sec, my trousers are undone"

that was a great day for me ^-^

I was actually still partially wrong the first time. It's "revved up like a deuce," which refers to a style of car.

For the chorus, all I can make out is this:

"A ram eats ham with family! Hot pocket full of shelves!"

Ahahahahahaha

It's actually: "Rally round the family. With a pocket full of shells."

I swear that's what he sings. Now I can't hear that song on the radio without laughing.
That song is hilarious.

Bulls on Parade

Come wit it now!
Come wit it now!
The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Ya either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger
Tha triggers cold now empty ya purse

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Linin' to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells

They Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells



Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
