This is a famous example, from Taylor swiftâs Blank Space. The original lyric is âgotta long list of ex loversâ But so many people misheard it as âall the lonely Starbucks loversâ. Also I read this Reddit question about a certain song with the âlyricâ âplease donât kill my wifeâ, but the song was âb***h donât kill my vibeâ By Kendrick Lamar (?). That made me giggle.

Not really misheard... but definitely mis-sung. Went to high school with a guy named Joe Stancil back in the eighties. "Joe Stan... Joe Stancil... Joe Stancil close to me." I didn't come up with it but I sang the hell out of it.

ACDC chorus & song title; "Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap" was "dirty cheese, thunder cheese" in my 5yo mind... Also; the band name Metallica would come across the digital display screen on the sound system in the car but the name was too long so it read Metal-Lica and I was very confused how this band sounded so familiar but I never heard of Metal Lica lol

Tony Danza instead of Tiny Dancer. Somewhat related to the title, I loved the "literal music videos" on YouTube which I can't seem to find these days. Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love" and Bonnie Tyler's "Total eclipse of the heart" were by far the best

As a preteen I loved Madonna, especially her song La Isla Bonita. She actually sang âyoung girl with eyes like the desertâ. What I heard and insistently sang in front of my friends was âyoung girl with eyes like potatoesâ. They laughed so hard at the mental image that they almost wet themselves.

The song "Fever of Love" By Sweet. While not a hit in the USA made the charts in Germany, Austria and Sweden. My idiot brother argued with me about the line "You are my adrenaline". He insisted it was "You are my Loretta Lynn". Like somehow Sweet was talking about the famous country singer. Still cracks me up to this day.
