    Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

    When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like “later we’ll have some fucking pie”, but it’s “later we’ll have some pumpkin pie”.

      “all in all it’s just a” - “hol ihn hol ihn unters Dach”

      “Fetch him under the roof”. And it has a nice story to go along with it that the sound engineer mixing the song was German, heard that line and then committed suicide under the roof of the studio because he was reminded of the abuse he suffered as a child in an orphanage.

      Total fabrication by the German documentary show “Quarks & Co” to demonstrate how one can be manipulated to hear stuff that isn’t there. To this day I can’t not hear it when listening to the song.

    I remember the subtitles for Smash Mouth - Walking on the Sun said “It’s like kitty fat, it retracts before impact” which was nuts, I had the CD, and it was “any fad”. They didn’t use to vet subtitles on MTV. There were orders, but that’s all I remember.

      I was like last month old when a cover performance finally suggested it could be “deuce”, like the coupe, instead. I knew “douche” was wrong, but I never had the presence to ask.

      I still don’t know whether that’s right.

        Deuce is correct. The tune that everyone knows is actually a cover by Manfred Mann of Springsteen’s original (yes, Bruce Springsteen). The lyrics were tweaked a bit. Springsteen’s lyrics are “Blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night”.

    Had a friend who’s little bro thought “Liberate my madness” from Liberate by Slipknot was “Never eat bananas”.

    It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves

    It’s in our nature to kill ourselves

    It’s in our nature to kill each other

    It’s in our nature to kill, kill, kill

    That’s the actual lyrics of Blood Brothers from Papa Roach, some people hear “Human Nature” instead of our nature, which is still the same meaning. However I once read someone misshearing of that lyrics and I can never unheard it, this is what I hear now (and so will you if you read):

    Send the ninjas to destroy ourselves

    Send the ninjas to kill ourselves

    Send the ninjas to kill each other

    Send the ninjas to kill, kill, kill

    José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad.

    Sounds like he is saying ‘release mum and dad.’ interlace with him singing ‘I want to wish you a merry christmas’

    I was in stitches at the dinner table when I heard it. Trying to tell my brother while crying and hyperventilating with laughter made it even better.

    I used to work with this guy who swore the lyrics to Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones were, “Don’t wanna be, your pizza’s burnin’”.

      I will never accept that it’s not. I would say that the correct lyrics are “pizza burner”, though.
