I had two.

I still swear there's a line in Hansons "MmmmBop" that goes 'It's going to be a cheesey-ooooooooooooo'

And Jamirquai, Canned Heat, I misheard the chorus as "Dance, Dance!, we've got candy in our heels tonight Big Ben".

So we've been playing Rock Band a lot lately. The other day my 6 year old daughter was going around singing "Saturday's ho" to the tune of Weezer's "Say it ain't So." Yeah. It gave me a good laugh. :)

Note: For those of you who haven't played Rock Band...Say it ain't so is one of the songs you can play.

I'm pretty psyched that PDA by interpol is going to be a track on RB2

REM, Man On The Moon, I always thought it was "Mr. Charles Darwin had the balls to ask," but it is gall to ask. not as cool.
And that old song, Chapel of Love, i thought it was "going to the jack-o-lantern, going to get married."


and i dont know if this counts as lyrics per say, but when i was 4 and learning the alphabet, i thought lmnop were one letter, i mean, you say them all squished together, lol. The extra sad thing is that my initials are KLM...2 of those letters are in my mishmash of letters that i thought was 1.

The first couple of times I heard 'Sailing Away', I had NO IDEA what he was saying in the 'live by the river, and I'll die by the river' part!

The best misheard Travis lyric was Esteban's from a different thread I think in T-chat a while ago. From WDIAROM: "...still I phone my chef when I got my mind on somethin' else." LOL! Sometimes I sing it that way now just cuz it's more fun. :P

LOL!!! That's a great one!

For years I thought The Beatles' "Hard Days Night" went..."so I just get ya on home, 'cause when I get ya alone, you know I feel okay" when it's actually..."so why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone."

In one of The Killers' songs, the lyrics go 'drive faster boy'. I always hear them as 'giant bastard boy'.

That was hilarious! A while ago I was watching a Travis DVD and during WDIAROM I started laughing because I remembered that "still I phone a chef" line xDD.

Funny, I heard this line in exactly the same way. Still don't know what he actually sings.

I just thought of some more misheard Travis lyrics...

In Pipe Dreams, I thought it went: "I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind I had been dreamin' of you."
When it's actually just: "I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind I had been dreaming." The way Fran stretches out "dreaming" makes it sound like there are more words after it.

Also in Safe, I thought it was: "About as distant as a sultan light" at first instead of "satellite." :P Really, it sounds like it!

In Walking Down The Hill, I thought it went: "We got it made, we got it made, I don't know what we gotta make, sooner or later we'll die."
When it's really: "We got it made, we got it made, I don't know what we gotta make, sooner or later lay down."
...and in another part of the song I thought it was "Don't turn away, don't run away, don't leave me hanging by a thread, shine a light up and down on me."
When it's really: "Don't turn away, don't run away, don't leave me hanging by a thread, shine a little love down on me."
