Just for kicks and giggles, I thought I'd start a fun game-y post about misheard song lyrics.

The Rolling Stones, *Under My Thumb*, my sister and I were about nine and eleven years old, and we BOTH heard *Under My Bum*.

Yes of course we laughed ourselves silly, or sillier than we were, but honestly, Mick Jagger cannot pronounce his words well! lol So, who cares, he's insanely successful, right?

Funny!!!

Mine would have to be(and this ages me): "Islands in the stream, that is what we are, no one in between how could we be wrong, sail away with me, to another world, AND WE WILL LIE ON EACH OTHER, uh-huhh, from one lover to another, uh-huhh"

This is fun, LOL.

Oops! Forgot to add the correct lyrics, it should be: "and we rely on eath other" instead of "we will lie on each other".

Don't feel bad, I thought he was saying the very same thing. Even though it made no sense to me whatsoever, I'd sing loud and proud, alone, of course.

I never heard that about Vedder but I did hear that Michael Stipe used to do the same thing in the early days of REM.

Rosie O'Donnell did a segment on this on her old show once, and it was hysterical. The funniest one was the one already mentioned, the misheard lyrics to Blinded by the Light, and the other was the one for Kaleidoscope Eyes where they said "The girl with colitis goes by" instead of "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes", lol. There's a great website online called The Archive of Misheard Lyrics that has some pretty hysterical ones, too. My favorites are:


Smashmouth's "All Star":


Misheard: She was looking kinda dumb with her finger in her bum and the shape of a elf on her forehead.


Actual: She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead.


Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit":


Misheard: Here we are now in containers.


Actual: Here we are now, entertain us.


And one that I can't print the actual lyric on, lol... Nine Inch Nails' "Closer":


Misheard: I want a duck shaped like a triangle / You give a toaster to Bob


Actual: I want to _ you like an animal / You get me closer to god

For me, anything by Stevie Nicks is a misheard SONG. So I really scratched my head when she paired up with Tom Petty years ago for "Stop dragging my heart around".

That was genius.

Ahhhhhh hahahaha!!!! I remember that song! I used to love it! My brother drove all over creation to find the CD to buy me for Christmas that year.

"Blue his house with the blue little windows and a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around cuz he ain't got no one to listen to."
