Did I hear that correctly?

A fun thread about song lyrics that you may have misheard.

I'll start with a guy I knew a long time ago who used to be in a pool league.
He always wore a "Pool Shark" hat.

Whenever he heard The Police sing Every Breath You Take and heard the lyric
"My poor heart aches" he thought they were saying "I'm a pool hall ace" and would point
to his hat and get a shitty grin on his face. Still cracks me up.

What are you're favorite music lyrics that you've misheard ?

I hear "like Kevin above me, the spy who loved me" in Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon. It should be "heaven."

Africa by Toto

Actual: I bless the rains down in Africa
Misheard I piss the rains down in Africa

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 5 years ago

I used to think it was "I guess it rains down in Africa." Not a horrible interpretation, I suppose.
