Examples of misheard or misunderstood song lyrics?

“meet me in the club i am going down” (it’s actually “meet me in the club you’re going down”)
“Shake it like a sausage!!” (it’s actually “shake it like a salt shaker”)
“Rompe rompe rompe LET ME OUT” (that’s wrong too, but i still can’t remember the real lyrics)
all three times…....I was mortally embarrassed because i happened to say it in front of many other people.

wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night… Blinded by the light.

I just don’t get it.

judochop: I’d forgotten about that one; totally agree. I still don’t know what the actual lyric is.

It’s “revved up like a deuce, another roller in the night…” There is another post on this very topic from a couple of weeks back:

Bah! I even did a search before asking this question.
Looks like there is also this one.

A lot of people think Jimi Hendrix says “scuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “kiss the sky” in Purple Haze.

My favorite is still Michael Jackson going: “but the chair is not my son” in Billy Jean…....

GIRLY MAAAAAAAAN!

When I was little I thought “Macho Man” went “nacho nacho man, I want to meet the nacho man.”

I thought CCR was singing about “the bathroom on the right”

search “misunderstood lyrics – chiodos” on youtube, there is a whole video about it

Take me back to the 1960’s,
Where the grass is smoked,
And the girls are hippies,
Oh, won’t you please, take me home,
Yeah-e-yeah-eh!

Anyone heard the “Ken Lee” that’s been circulating around Youtube?

It became a huge hit…

This is so embarrassing. In the song “Do you ears hang low,” when I was a kid I thought one of the lines was “Can you throw them over your shoulder like a cotton-handled soldier” instead of continental soldier.

@judochop It’s “Wrapped up like a douche another RUMOR in the night…” Make sense now? (Me either)
