You would think that since knowledge of song lyrics has been an integral part of my cast and M’s present job, we would be pretty sharp when it comes to the understanding to mumblings of rock stars.
Sometimes they get the better of us and misheard foibles like the following occur.
Ben Folds Five
One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces
I’m big and important, one angry Korn fan
Smashing Pumpkins
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
All my cool and drole lightbulb jokes
The Verve
Lucky Man
Cause I’m a lucky man, with fire in my pants
The Tea Party
Fire in the Head
Come chew me
I’d add in the misheard lyrics for Savage Garden‘s I want you, but it’s profane to the point that it might upset some of TRW readership. Let’s just say it’s about having sex in an uncomfortable place.
Today’s sing-a-long song: “I will talk, Hollywood will listen” by Robbie Williams
HRH
August 12 Edit: I can’t believe that I forgot JK’s contribution to the pantheon of misheard lyrics…
Bon Jovi
Thank You For Loving Me
You peed in my eye… and I couldn’t see
I’ll just be over in the corner laughing myself silly.

I maintain that those questionable lyrics floating over the music between verses aren’t misheard. Or at least, that I’ve not yet heard a plausable alternative to what they could be. I tell you, those boys just really like it in the back.
