Music Misheard lyrics

[Railgun]

In the song Venus by Shocking Blue (more specifically the Bananarama cover), I used to think they sang: "Well, I'm your fetus I'm your fire, at your desire..." Lol

If you are in Australia, on Mondays, the Christian O'Connell Show has a segment when people send in their misheard lyrics. There was one for Centerfold by J. Geils Band, and I can clearly hear "Angel is a xenophobe" (that got into the "Hall of Fame" on the segment).

I used to think you're welcome from Moana had the line "because I'm gonna need that hope" I just realized it actually says"because I'm gonna need the boat"

There are some Vocalo-P that are very talented at getting the Japanese versions of Vocaloids to sing in intelligible (sometimes even completely natural-sounding) English.
This is very difficult. Even producers that speak English in addition to their native language will likely have a hard time with it, because these Vocaloids are explicitly not designed to sing in English. So, to reiterate, this is a skill that only a minority of Vocalo-P have, understandably so.
Thus, by no means do I mean to discredit Hachioji P as a producer. He's made some absolute bangers, and my Vocaloid playlist back when I was ~13 was at least 40% composed of his songs.

But to this day, I refuse to believe that Miku is saying "I love you, baby" toward the end of Sweet Devil. The Japanese parts (aka like, the rest of the song) are perfectly understandable (if you understand Japanese, anyway), but that line is absolutely "I'm having a baby." T'would always catch my younger self off-guard before learning the actual lyrics, because... well, it comes out of nowhere. But "I love you, baby" makes way more sense.

Regardless, it STILL sounds like "I'm having a baby" and no matter how hard I try, I just... seriously cannot hear what the line is supposed to be.

I've been hearing Stick Season by Noah Kahan on the radio for months now, and only just today did it occur to me that "a soccer mom, she forgot that I existed" was actually "I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed".

I mishear “I need a new drug” in the song of the same name by Huey Lewis as “i need a new drum.”

I also know of someone who mishears “sweet Caroline” as “sweet cherry wine”

Same here; can’t believe it is “saw your mom” and not “soccer mom”.

Minor, but for the longest time my dad misheard a line in Spin Doctor's Two Princes as "I know what a princess lover ought to be".

He was surprised when I told him it was supposed to be "I know what a prince and lover ought to be"
