Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor was playing on an oldies station the other day. My wife was under the impression he was singing "In the end of Wall Street".
Meanwhile, my dad thought for years that Oliver's Army was in fact called I Love A Zombie.

Not so much misheard as mis-scanned, but in 'Laughing' by the Guess Who, I just realized I've long heard
You took away everything I hadYou put the hurt on me
as
You took away everythingI had you put the hurt on me
So I guess it's not a song about sado-masochism after all.

There were plenty of lyrics in Christmas songs that never made any goddamn sense to me as a kid (or even now, tbph) so it never occurred to me to question who Crispin Even was or how the snow got deep inside of him.

I mean it has to be literally hundreds of times that I've heard the song over the past thirty years, and I'm only just now realizing that the line in 'Outshined' is not 'the grass is always greener where the dogs are shedding'?!?!?!

I think it’s meant to sound like what you thought it was, but the lyrics booklet gives plausible deniability for a Parental Advisory loophole, perhaps? (I’ve never seen a cover with the label at any rate.)
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Monday, 8 February 2021 20:25 (three years ago) link
OHHHH, thank you! I'm not a complete dipshit. The lyrics sheet totally says 'shedding' and I was credulous enough to believe what it told me when I pored over that thing a million times. Plus it wasn't bleeped on MTV.

I always thought in "Won't Get Fooled Again" it was "And the party on the left/is now the party on the right," but it's actually "And the parting on the left/Is now the parting on the right." Which I think is meant to convey the same meaning, but ... I don't see why it's not "party." Is Pete actually talking about ... the way people part their hair?

For years I thought the first line of Keep Your Dreams by Primal Scream was "I believe that syphilis can burn your soul away." Not all that far-fetched considering the word "syphilitic" shows up in at least two other songs on the album.
