"Bring Me A Higher Love"

was misunderstood by a coworker of mine as

"Give me an iron lung!"

Jethro Tull can offer an Aqualung!

My mom could never understand the lyrics to top 40 music. One day she say, "I know what he's singing: Cherry Soda!"

OMG...I was dying.

show. My mother seriously looked at me and asked, what's wrong with him? I laughed then and whoever did this close caption reminds me of my mother.

Billy Idol- Eyes without a face

How's about a date

He misheard "Radar Love" as "Red Hot Love"

“I’m not talkin’ about moving’ in” was actually “I’m not talkin’ about millennium.”

This was the guy Harry Chapin signed an autograph to “Thanks for listening so closely.”

If I would have sung them, that's what I would have sung. The theme of the song in a nutshell is: "This relationship isn't gonna last forever, I only wanna see you tonight"

I'm not talkin' 'bout moving in
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I'd really love to see you tonight

Or maybe my older brother (10 years my senior) had it. Hmmm...

Pretty much a standard and a light orchestra favorite.

She found the Johnny Otis version for me but didn’t tell me I misheard the song title.
She let me figure it out myself when I looked at the 45rpm label.

"'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!"

Hendrix was aware that people got this wrong, and one time, he was performing Purple Haze, and he deliberately sang the lyrics incorrectly and pointed at Noel Redding. Of course, the actual lyric is, "Kiss the sky."

And then there's this:

"I tell you to end your life, I wish I could but it's too late."

John "Ozzy" Osbourne told reporters in a press conference that the lyrics were actually, "enjoy life," but we all know what people are like when they've made up their mind.

because the music itself is so good.

Loves Cheez-Its and America, too is Loves Jesus and America, too. I listen to the song and still think it could go either way

kissthisguy.com was a funny website collecting misheard lyrics. The layout is a bit clunky.

some of the better ones:
padded bra = panama (Van Halen)
"And the last known survivor stocks his bread in the night" = misheard from Eye of the Tiger
"See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen" = Dancing Queen (ABBA)

I've looked up the lyrics to 'Louis, Louis' and couldn't find anything wrong with them - but IIRC, didn't some radio stations ban it for being obscene?

Also - from what I understand, Iron Butterfly's 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' was actually 'In the Garden of Eden' but supposedly the guy was stoned and slurred the words. Lucky for us, though - what a classic!

Kind of a drag, when your baby don't love you.
Kind of a drag, when you know she's been untrue......
etc., etc.

My friend thought it was an ad for Canada Dry.

"There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" was heard by some as "There's a bathroom on the Right".

I heard it as "Let Linus Open the Door". Thought it was Peanuts tribute.

I honesty thought Steven was singing about the B string of his guitar, and I thought it sounded really stupid:

B string soundin' louder
Ride on the B string...
