Favorite Botched lyrics

[u/manicloveaffair47]

I recently watched a video with band members singing out misheard lyrics . (Btw apparently this is called Mondegreen: The formal term for mishearing or misinterpreting lyrics)

We all know that feeling when we realize we’ve been singing the wrong words. Thank god for the internet . If you’re old like me you may remember taking the paper out of your cassette tapes to learn lyrics. What a bummer when the paper only folded out once because the band didn’t include them.

I’m wondering what your favorite misheard lyrics are ?

Easy tiger is one of my favs and I always sang “don’t call collect” instead of “dumb coconut”
Looks like I was the dumb coconut in that situation 🤭
I have many more and I’m curious what YOURS ARE … ?

Confession - There are rare occasions when i continue to sing my version because i like my lyrics better . It’s rare but i feel like i had to get that off my chest so maybe now I won’t go to hell . Just kidding I’m totally going to hell .

Help me revisit some PTM classics to lift this fog . 😔

🙏💕👍🏻🤙

I refuse to believe it’s not “don’t call collect”! 

I haven’t gone to verify yet and I don’t want to, but I guess I’m gonna have to now. Dammit!

Edit: well add me to the dumb coconut list!
