This is all about when you thought you knew the words to a song and turns out you don't. I've done this many times before, mostly because I couldn't understand what the hell the person is saying. So, I just supplanted the real words with what I thought it sounded like.

Most recent example would be this X-games commercial that would come on ESPN att. I thought they were saying "Fade Away..." for about 4 months until someone dropped the bomb on me. Apparently the words are "Bangarang" which #1 I find ridiculous. And, #2 it still doesn't change the fact that it sounds like "Fade Away..." even though that makes no sense either. I would have happily gone through life thinking those were the words.

Hold me closer, Tony Danza.

Sounds like 'gatorade'

For 20-something years, I have been among those who thought the background vocal in Games Without Frontiers is "she's so popular" and the only reason I know it isn't now is because I watched the season finale of The Americans, heard it for the first time in a while, and went to youtube looking for live performances (lolsegway).

I thought Britney Spears was singing about getting ****ed when she was really addressing seekers of Amy.

Same but I thought it was "fopular".

Hey, Jew. Don't let me down...

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing like a Jew...

Everything under the sun is in tune, and the sun is eclipsed by a Jew...

How I wish, how I wish you were queer...

I can't get no girly action...uhHey hey hey...that's why I'm gay...

'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy...

lol at not knowing SKRILLEX

Armageddon It? I thought the guy from Def Leppard was saying he was "a getting it".

Or, 'made a way'. still fade away... tho

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene.. I'm baking offal please don't take my pan...

We didn't fart you liar...

Ice, ice baby. cuckold, cuckold...

Seriously thought it was Ice Ice Baby "to go, to go". Thought it meant that since the song was almost done, VI had someplace else to be.

In that song "blue" by Eiffel 55 or whatever, I thought for a long time that the lyric was "I'm blue, if I were green I would die," not "I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die."

It's not?

These are called "mondegreens"

Have a tequila, eat a tortilla...

"I was raised by a toothpick split in half"

- Mick Jagger

I might actually have this one right but at the end of Start Me Up does Mick Jagger say "you'd make a dead man come"? I guess google could answer that.

Yes he does.

Has anyone ever seen the title of that song and not thought immediately of "Yellow Bedwetter"? Not that you'd confuse that as the actual title, but the color yellow followed by something way too close to bed wetter, I mean, come on. That **** was intentional.

Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche with a boner in the night.

I used to think the lyrics to Billy Jean were, "Pichard is not my son." I remember thinking Pichard is such a weird name.

"Like a drifter I was born to wear cologne."

I once thought Sting was singing about "the rental rictofalia" instead of "the rhetoric of failure". Name that tune?
