    There is a famous one here in Germany that everyone gets wrong.
    The original line being sung: “Es tobt der Hass da vor meinem Fenster”, meaning “Hatred is raging in front of my window”.
    What everyone hears: “Es tobt der Hamster vor meinem Fenster”, meaning “The hamster is raging in front of my window”.

    Get lucky by daft punk, when the robot voices say ‘we’re up all night to get lucky’ I can’t unhear ‘we’ll rub up a mexican monkey’.
    I’m sorry for ruining this song for you.

      I 100% genuinely thought “Lose yourself to dance” was “You just suck the dicks” when I first heard it on the radio.

      I was wondering who it was by and why it wasn’t censored being played at lunchtime.

      I had to go and listen to this song because of how outrageous I thought this interpretation was… But it’s real!!!

        You will not be able to unhear it. I’m so sorry. To make it up to you on the youtube version that is just the audio with the picture of the dudes in front of the sun there is an easter egg for a few seconds when they start saying we’ll rub a mexican.

    12 year old me is at the dentist in the middle of getting a cavity filled when Benny and the Jets comes on.

    I’m trying not to laugh while the radio keeps saying “She’s got electric boobs!”

    Not mine but one day my buddy’s 6 year old asked “what’s parking tips?” My buddy being a veteran dad gives him some generic parking advice, doesn’t think much of it until later when he hears his kid singing along to the shaboozy song but instead of “everyone at the bar getting tipsy” he’s sing about how everyone getting parking tips.

    Not originally me but I sure hear it now, in Empire State of mind Alicia keys says “concrete jungle where dreams are made of” which is a pretty shit bar in an otherwise good song. A popular way to mishear it is “concrete jungle wet dream tomato”, which makes only slightly less sense

    “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”

    It always sounds like the lady wants some “fuckin’ pie.”

      Been singing that for years. My wife can’t unhear it.

      In Jingle Bell Rock, I always hear “giddy up, jingle whores, pick up your feet!”

    What prompted the post: I feel silly even saying it, but there was a rap song playing at my gym with female vocals in the chorus singing what sounded like “it’s the batteries of your mom”, which I’m certain are not the correct lyrics.

    A song by Fear factory called Linchpin the intro the singer goes “can’t take me apart!” Sounds like “cat, give me your paw!!”
