That is extremely funny, Wen!

Just as Lilian, my sister and I have listened to the song "Friend of God" many times.

What the lyrics are:
I am a friend of God.
I am a friend of God.
I am a friend of God,
He calls me friend!

What he heard:
I am a Fred of God.
I am a Fred of God.
I am a Fred of God,
He calls me Fred!

Mine isn't funny, just misheard.

This is from the Gods and Generals soundtrack:

Original lyrics:

Love carries me round the bend
Leads me everlastingly on

What I heard:

Love carries me round the bend
Leads me on the last few yards

Sometimes people sing things so oddly!

From Skillet's Imperfection

Real Lyric:
You fall on your knees, you beg, you plead
Can I be someone else, for all the times I hate myself

I heard
You fall on your knees, you beg your creed
Can I be someone else for all the times I paint myself

Lol, wildrose!

I always knew something was amiss when I heard these lyrics, and I clearly knew I was mishearing them, but nonetheless, this is what I heard:

Whenever You Call by Mariah Carey

Real Lyrics:
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
That part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

What I heard:
I won't ever beat you, for a way to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
That part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

I sometimes also heard: I won't ever beat you, for a way to hear you!

Either way it sounded like pretty harsh love!

Hilarious, Quin!

I've misheard too many lyrics to count and now I can't remember all of them, but one I found funny was;
"Let my lysol sing to You," instead of "Let my life song sing to You,"

I thought that too!
When I was little, instead of "I exalt thee" I thought it was "I am salty"

For about a year, I've heard Taylor Swift's Love Story incorrectly -
"So close your eyes - sleep is sound for a little while."
instead of
"So close your eyes - escape this town for a little while."

Selah's song Glory

real lyric
One day voices that lie will all be silent
One day all that's divided will be whole again
One day death will retreat and wave it's white flag
One day love will defeat the strongest enemy

I heard
One day voices that lie will all be silent
One day all that's defiled will be whole again
One day death will retreat
And with it's white flag one day love will defeat the strongest enemy

I knew that a white flag meant surrender, and so I didn't get how Love waving a white flag could defeat something

Lol, wildrose! I kinda like your version of hearing it, actually!

From Selena Gomez's Shake It Up --

Original: When you're dancing with me, it's like we go MIA

What I Heard: When you're dancing with me, it's like we go to L.A.

LOL ya'll that's hilarious!

when I was little my Dad listened to Michael W Smith and he had a song called my place in this world...

Real Lyrics:Trying to find my place in this world
Wrong Lyrics:Trying to find my face in this world

"Reach for the Stars", the theme song for Sonic Colors:

Real lyrics=
"Not looking back,
(echo: not looking back)
Not giving up,
(echo: not giving up)
Not letting go,
I'll keep on RUNNING"

What I heard=
"Not looking back,
(echo: not looking back)
Not giving up,
(echo: not giving up)
Not letting go,
I'll keep on ROLLING"

Reading through this thread is just hilarious!!!!! It's amazing how we hear things!!!

From Here Comes the King by X-Ray Dog.

Original Lyrics -- (I don't have the real lyrics in words. But here's the video. The words start at 1:38)

What I Heard:
Goose... eat... geese... food... goose... sun... tea...
Eat full-grown geese
Eat couscous
Eat Jerry Hoss
He's so dumb
Jerry Goose
Mountain Geese
Sun Geese
Couscous
Jay Goose
Brown Geese
Sun Geese
Brown Goose
Eat the flowers
Eat the Suitcase
Eat the Rainbows
Eat the Brown Goose
