My cousin was a school teacher at a rough inner city elementary school many years ago. One morning, she thought she heard one of her 2nd graders singing,

"Shake your ass, watch yourself..."

 

Turns out, he was actually singing,

"Take a bath, wash yourself. Take a bath, show me what your washing with."

I had thought this sounded familiar , but I couldn't quite place it .  I later remembered that I had heard it of all places in an outtakes reel , from this movie here , @2:08   .

I heard INXS' Don't Change wrong for literally 37 years. 

Actual lyric: Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

Me: Don't change the earth
Don't change a thing for me

Not sure why it suddenly clicked - maybe I just listened properly for a change.

Heard this one today...yeah, I knew the correct lyrics, but I can see how someone might get it wrong.

Nirvana - In Bloom

Correct lyrics: Reproductive glands

Misheard lyrics: Rape the duck with Dan

[meep]

Britney Spears' Oops I Did It Again

Real Lyrics: Sent from above
What I Heard: Sent from a dove

Real Lyrics: Lose all my senses
What I Heard: Lose all my instences (not a real word but that's what I heard - I just thought it was a word I didn't know yet!)

----
Black Eyed Peas' Where Is The Love?

Real Lyrics: We're spreading animosity
What I Heard: We're spreading condimosity (again, not a real word ? )

blink182's Obvious

Real Lyrics: In times like this, it's obvious
What I Heard: In times like this, it's salt eels. (like I knew the song was called obvious but for the life of me I could not here "obvious"; I'd play the song on repeat again and again trying to find "obvious" but I only heard "salt eels.")

Rip Tide 

Vance Joy 
 

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
 

I just always here he wants to be her Lieutenant Dan...

Bush -- "Everything Zen"

Lyric:. There's no sex in your violence....

What my 9 year old son heard:. There's no sex in Ohio.....

We lived in SC, I got remarried, and came home to a sign on our bedroom door that read, "Ohio State Embassy.". 😁
