Starstruck lovers or Starbucks lovers?
What are some lyrics you confidently sang so wrong?
Question / DiscussionI always sang ‘taking my time of my right’. The chorus was the only bit I knew of that song, didn’t even know the name, so I always thought that was right
We’ll just realized Iv been singing this wrong oopsies
Ride is THE TITLE OF THE SONG though lmaoo
IK LMAO lyrics are not my think idk why. I more of a drum player. Still idk how I got that wrong cause I knew the title
Totally fair lmao, to this day there’s songs I love that I would completely butcher lyrically if I tried. Weird borderline gibberish music and 90s mush-mouthy deliveries lol…
"I need a one dance, thought I had a seed in my ass"
Don't ask me why, I have no idea
HAHAHA
I misheard "I need an easy friend" in About a Girl by Nirvana as "I need a lizard friend." It was Kurt, so I never questioned it.
After I heard Beans, I never questioned anything by Kurt
"Hold me closer, Tony Danza."
"Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night."
"I wanna know. Have you ever seen Lorraine?"
I used to think that "shake it like a polaroid picture" was "shake it like a pony wants a picture."
I always thought it had something to do with pizza...
P-p-p poker face p-p-p poker face…. 😬
Wow. Today I learned. And I actually sang back up on that song in a cabaret show for months.
Wait, i also never realized that xD
wtf is it then
Well it goes in to, “F-f-fuck her face”
damn
my poor childhood
Wtf, i never knew until now like the rest of y'all. did they even censor it on the radio?
everytime ive heard it on the radio its been uncensored
I just realized that’s not right lol
I’m confused with everyone’s response…it is p-p-p poker face 🤔
The 2nd part isn't
“It’s gonna take some time to realize”
...is it realign?
...damnit
Same. And the closed captioning also got it wrong.
What song is this?
Drake and Josh theme song lol
For the longest time (even though I could have just looked at the CD booklet), I swore Alanis was singing “and the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me”, in her song “You Oughta Know”. Idk, it seemed to fit… like her ex gave her this fucked up looking stuffed bear
That one goes back decades.
“Don’t go, Jason Waterfalls!”
I know those aren't the lyrics, but I sing them anyway.
"We paid paradise, and put up a fuckin lie"
i’m so glad i’m not the only one. child me hearing this being played in a grocery store looking around like uhhh did nobody else hear that??
I wish I could upvote this reply 100 times!!! Dude, I was wigged out by it. I was like "How is this allowed?!?"!
“ Blinded by the light. Revved up like a douche you know the roller in the night”
I know this isn't the correct lyrics, but I sing it JUST like this every time!
It was this year that I discovered that it is not
“I walk alone, to get the feeling right”
The Joker - Steve Miller Band
Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the idontknowwtfthatwordis of love
“Pompitous” lol apparently they made it up I always thought it was a real word
Ah i always threw in “providence” even though it makes no sense whatsoever lol
“Heartbeat racing like a chungus, I just need you to want me”
Big Chungus enters the chat
"Shot through the heart! And you're too late!"
“You gotta hold on to what you got, it doesn’t make a different if we’re naked or not”
I love this. This is the new lyric.
I misheard this one for most of my life lmao
I would say "you give love a band-aid!"
Wait wait wait, that’s wrong??!
I was definitely a "Starbucks lovers" lmao
I'm usually able to hear the misheard lyric someone else heard, but I've never heard Starbucks lovers.
Maybe if you try the original version you could potentially hear it. I don't really hear it now that I know the proper lyrics
The one that was on the original 1989? That was the one I listened to. I tried to hear it, but just never did.
Yeah that's the one. Maybe that's a blessing! Nothing worse than not being able to unhear wrong lyrics!
Usually for me it's kind of like an optical illusion, where I see one thing and can see the other thing once I know it. So I'm not stuck with the wrong lyrics lol.
I literally just read a book where a character was singing the wrong lyrics to that song. It gave me a good chuckle.
Got them lonely starbucks lovers! They’ll tell you i’m insane.
I think of this alot
I'm embarrassed for how long I thought it was this
everyone's crazy bout a shy best man
Best one yet!
At least half of "It's The End of The World As We Know It" as I found out at one ill-fated karaoke night.
Not my personal one, but I’ve heard a lot people think “and I saw your mom” from stick season was “and a soccer mom.”
Probably due to the random “k” at the end of saw
When I was in 5th grade I thought the thong song was “the dong song”…. “That dong da-dong dong dong” lol

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
Good bot
1.I used to think the Pantera walk chorus was Breathe! Spit! Walk! What did you say? 2. Neil Young down by the River when he says " dead dead ooooohhh oooooh shot her dead" I thought he was saying "gin gin oooooooooh ooohh shot of gin"
I thought that was the lyrics to Panteras Walk too till I googled it 2 secs ago but it's RE-SPECT lol
Seriously that is so cool I honestly thought I was the only one!

My friend and I used to think brown eyed girl was bright eyed girl.
I thought it was "you met a brown eyed girl" and about losing his best friend who got a girlfriend.
I took her out/it was a Friday night/I walk alone/ to get the feeling right
I thought this too lmao

My bf 100% thought the lyrics to “Rollin’” by Limp Bizkit were “rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ MONKEY” until we met. I was so confused the first time I heard him say it, but we looked it up and it’s “commonly misheard” as such lol. Now that’s the only right way to sing it imho

Oh, the Rolling Stones song. Sounds like they say suck a duck. Maybe in Beast of Burden, I can't recall the song right now.
Have you ever seen "Jumpin Jack Flash" with Whoopi Goldberg? She tries writing down the lyrics to "Jumpin Jack Flash" and at one point she says "Fuck a duck Mick, speak English baby! " Cause she thinks he said "I was raised by two lesbians" (It's "I was raised by a toothless bearded hag")

“Forming universes with our balls” - Wintersun, Starchild
I'm the son of stupid love. No seriously I swear I sang that out with Jesus Of Suburbia once.
Or maybe it was I'm the son of sex and love. For the record the real lyric is hate and love.
“Can I get a kiss? And can you make it last forever? I’m about to go to war” …… I kept singing I’m about to go to “work”…… always wondered that this job was and why they were going to be gone so long
‘Cause though the truth may vary, this shit will carry out bodies safe to shore.” For the longest time I didn’t know it was ship
I used to think it was “Though the truth may bury us, ship will carry our bodies safe to shore” which doesn’t really make sense grammatically
“And you’re handcuffed to it, Jesus Christ” - Serotonin by Simple Kid
Jeremih’s song “Don’t Tell Em” - it is meant to go:
Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion
But I used to sing:

We will rave by Kaleen.
I thought the lyrics to that one country song body like a backroad were “Fifteen and I’m thirty, I ain’t in no hurry”. I don’t know why this didn’t phase me as a kid
“I’m sprung. I’m so happy”
Band on the run ; as a child I heard man on the rug.
One of my most embarrassing ones was in the song "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge. I used to sing, "Just let me staple the vicar," instead of "Just let me state for the record." It made no sense, but I belted it out with confidence at family gatherings. Another one was from "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics. I always sang, "Sweet dreams are made of cheese," instead of "Sweet dreams are made of these." My friends got a good laugh out of that one when they heard me singing it.
To be fair.. sweet dreams are made of cheese. What do they know?
😘
Lol. My daughter would agree with you.

At least you know that you can always grow up and get laid
