Please add the proper lyric and your misheard lyric. We'll keep the list format the same (don't add your lyrics to the list), but put the lyrics underneath. This should be fun!
13 songs with a mondegreen
1. The Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner
When I was a kid I used to think he was singing, "Big ol' Jed had a light on"
Correct lyrics (of course): Big ol' Jet Airliner
2. Rihanna - We Found Love
A female friend loves this song, and the chorus goes "we found love in a hopeless place" over and over. She keeps playing this in our workplace back then but I've always thought the lyrics were "we fell in love in a hopeless place." I only realize it was the wrong lyrics a year later when she actually got a tattoo of the right lyrics
3. Miracle Man - Ozzy Osbourne
What I thought:
Miracle Man, don't bullshit
Correct lyrics:
Miracle Man, got busted
4. Tears for Fears - Shout
OK, not exactly mine but too funny. When I was in France there were kids who were singing Shout by Tears for Fears and they thought
"Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things we can do without,"
was actually
"Shout, shout, lay it all down, veeze ahva veeze, ahva doo wee ow."
5. AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
As a kid hearing my brother playing that record I thought Bon was singing "Dirty Deeds Dun Dur Chee" ... I knew the band was from Australia so I just assumed that Dun Dur Chee was something Australian.
