Post here when you hear a lyric wrong, and even better when you've heard a lyric wrong for years, and finally realize the truh.

I have always heard "Yesterday I woke up sucking a little more" in Radiohead's Everything in its Right Place.

So as far as I'm concerned, that's the correct lyric.

I had a Ten edition without lyrics. So for a looong time i sang Alive like this

Sorry you didn't see him
But I play guitar


Which i thought it was super weird.

Elton John, Saturday Night's Alright

Did I inspire this post?

When Metallica’s black album came out my brother thought “Sad But True” was actually a song about Desert Storm called “Sand Patrol.”

My friend and I got in an argument years back about the opening lines to Norwegian Wood. I was right. But he swore the line was "I wanted a girl or should I say she wanted me."

This is actually probably not the right thread for this but I couldn't find a "lyrics you thought you misheard but really didn't" thread so I'm putting it here.

When Quick Escape dropped, I thought Ed was trying to say "Sleep sack in a BioVac" (which is idiotic but you know Ed) but he was just mispronouncing the word. And I was like, why is he saying BioVac like "beaver whack"??? It was infuriating.

Then I saw the line and it all made sense. I was hearing him correctly the entire time I just assumed he was being an idiot. But he wasn't. It was me the whole time!

Drive-By Truckers, "Let There Be Rock": I thought "Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, 14 years old," was "Dropped ass at the Blue Oyster Cult concert..."

Nirvana: "I think I'm Dumb"
My friend: "African Doll"

Your friend is stupid.

[Norris]

But not as stupid as Self's friend.

I gave her a pass after she got me baked and started at 2:00.

I had Hash pipe from Weezer on once at work years ago, and had a customer complain about us playing a song about "ass wipe" i still hear ass wipe to this day because of him

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Legs spread out before me as her buddy once did.

Until yesterday I thought Donald Fagen was singing "Stone away the time" in the Steely Dan song Reelin' in the Years.
