Misheard lyrics?
 

Inspired by @Dogeatdog who just posted about this type of thing in another thread.

Have you ever been convinced artists were singing one thing and the actual lyrics really aren't that at all?

I always sang “ sail awaaay all across the ocean “

To Gallagher & Lyle’s Breakaway song

Apparently it is ..

“Breakaway, fly across your ocean
Breakaway, the time has come for you
Breakaway, fly across your ocean
Breakaway, the time has come”

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

But I set fire to the rain
And I kick your face

Oh, oh
My ears are alight.

I always thought when I was a kid, that on the song Dilemma that Kelly Rowland was singing this.

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when you lick my boots
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

Now I know that she's not referencing Nelly licking her boots.

Dream Theater - Home... "Help!,.. she's my mother,... but I love her..."... and then there's a whole actual intercourse/orgasm track, that was typical of the time, that played during the instrumental portion that makes it soo much worse...

Ooh, remembered another one...

Michael Jackson - Beat it

"Show them how funky and strong is your fight" =
"Show them how ****ing strong is your fight"
