Bush, "Glycerine":

Don't let the dagoes buy... glycerine
Don't let the dagoes buy... glycerine

Bush's lyrics make no sense to me, but it's ok because Bush sounds cool.

I can't think of any funny or new misheard lyrics at the moment so I'm going for the obvious Jimi Hendrix "excuse me while I kiss this guy". Confused

CCR - Bad Moon Rising

"There's a bad moon on the rise"

"There's a bathroom on the right"

"Knives in my back, all hope is lost" Sounds like "Nuts on my back" in the Mudvayne song Scarlet Letters, even after I read the lyrics. The singer pronounces it weird. Confused

Pretty much anything by Pearl Jam belongs in this thread.

The lead singer of Pearl Jam always sounds likes he's about to lapse into a bad elvis impersonation whenever he sings.

I'm fairly certain not even Eddie Vedder knows the lyrics to "Yellow Ledbetter".

This is my best guess at the lyrics to that song:

On the ceiling
On a voice of lettuce
Lamasil
I wanna leave it again
Juan's desire
On a piece of weather
Said
Gone to say, I wanna leave it again

On a wheeler
On a wizard unaware
And I call by my sin
And I woe and I sin
And I call out again
And the risen
On a leaf of carmine, oh
I said, I know what I wear
And I bite soda back

Aw yeah
Can you see them
All the boys
And my big old ween
But I see them
Trying to run 'way
Yeah
And I know what I know
I don't want a tape
Make me cry

Oooh, I don't know or something
On a carbine on a way
I said, uh
I don't, I don't know a Will
As I bite soda back

Aw yeah
Can you see them
All the boys
And my big old ween
But I see them
'round the runway
Yeah
And I know what I know
I don't want to stay
At all
I don't want to staaaaaaaaaaaaay
I don't want to staaaaaaaaaaaaay
I don't understand, oh

What about the original Louie Louie?

"Three nights and days I sailed the sea
Me thinks a girl all constantly
Ah, on that ship, I dream she there
I smell her rose, ah, in her hair

Okay, let's give it to 'em right now!"

"Tonight in bed I lay her again
Me fucks that girl all kinds of ways
My arms I tell ya bring me there
I felt my bone all in her hair

Okay, let's hustle to outside now!"

Well, there was a whole legend about the true lyrics to it.

"As I bite soda back"

You had me in tears laughing at those lyrics, Syd.

I used to be such a Pearl Jam fanatic that I managed to accurately decipher all of their songs without the lyrics booklets...except "Yellow Ledbetter", "Even Flow", and "Black". Heck, I used to think "Black" was about necrophilia:

Actual lyrics:
Sheets of empty candles
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did

My lyrics:
Sheets of empty candles
Untouched, she's on Clay
Her legs spread out before me
As her body was dead

And Syd, that's one of the best interpretations of Yellow Ledbetter I've seen. My guess for it just consisted of stuff like "Baagaaooothabaaa, oh yeaaaah".

I was wondering when you'd bring that up again. Laughing

I always though the line was "bounce around like butterflies" until I looked it up a few years ago. Eh, I was sorta close.

Riders on the Storm/Manzarek-Krieger(2002–present)

In 2002, Manzarek and Krieger reunited and produced a new version of The Doors, called "The Doors of the 21st Century." The lineup was fronted by Astbury, with Angelo Barbera from Krieger's band on bass. At their first concert, the group announced that drummer John Densmore would not perform, and it was later reported that he was unable to play because he suffered from tinnitus. Densmore was initially replaced by Stewart Copeland of The Police, but after Copeland broke his arm falling off a bicycle, the arrangement ended in mutual lawsuits, and he was replaced by Ty Dennis, drummer with Krieger's band. Densmore subsequently claimed that he had in fact not been invited to take part in the reunion. In February 2003, he filed an injunction against his former band mates, hoping to prevent them from using the name "The Doors of the 21st Century." His motion was denied in court and Ray Manzarek publicly stated that the invitation for Densmore to return to the group still stood. It was also reported that both Morrison's family and that of Pamela Courson had joined Densmore in seeking to prevent Manzarek and Krieger from using The Doors' name. In July 2005, Densmore and the Morrison estate won a permanent injunction, causing the new band to switch to the name "D21C." It now plays under the name Riders on the Storm, a song by The Doors released in 1971 as the last track on the final Morrison-Era album, L.A. Woman. They are allowed to play under names such as "former Doors" and "members of The Doors." Later in July 2007 Densmore said that he would not rejoin The Doors unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore says, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."

Megadeth: "Set The World Afire"

I thought it was:
Raised to a single power, no coming back

But it's really:
Racing for power, and all come in last

I always thought I was mis hearing the chorus to Nirvana's "Make you happy" as You're in a laundry room, You're in a laundry room... But I just looked them up and that's exactly what he was singing. What the fuck Kurt? Confused

If anyone is familiar with DDR, you've heard some songs in "English" that are impossible to figure out.

This one is famous:

And this one is just confusing.

This reminds me that most Japanese music can be interpretated the way we want by the pronouncing.
