Probally the most famous Misheard lyrics is Louie, Louie by the Kingston. I was just listening to Acid Bath - Screm of The Butterfly for about the millionth time and decided to look at a lyric sheet. I swear, you think you know a song but when you have lyrics in front of you everything you have been hearing wrong is suddenly so clear! Even light mumbles that you dont even hear most of the time are very clear sounding.
So, What are some songs that you like that you totally misunderstood before reading the lyrics?
As I said I was listening to Acid Bath - Scream of the butterfly
(Full lyrics found here)
Real Lyric: Her eyes were like the sky
I heard: Her eyes light the skys
Real lyric: rabbit howls...
I heard: Rabid Hounds...
Real Lyric: She feels it die
I heard: She feels so dead (how does dead feel?)
The funny thing is, once I put the lyrics away I start hearing the old lyrics again
