Well we act out
It’s in stages

Is what I heard when the lines are:
“With the lights out
It’s less dangerous”…

“A mulato, an albino
A mosquito, my libido”

All from the chorus of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” I can’t say I ever really “misheard” those last two lines, I just didn’t know what the fuq he was saying.

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

ETA: I should’ve added the fade-out

Uh den nye-oh, uh den nye-oh…

Turned out to be actual lyrics.
“A denial, a denial, a denial…

In high school, I misheard:

"...don't ever leave, your pizza burnin'" instead of-

"...I'll never be your beast of burden" from The Stones Beast of Burden.

Here's a more official one: Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is a mis-heard dictation of the song's actual original lyric, "In the Garden of Eden".

When I were a lad, I couldn't figure out why someone would write a letter to a lion, because I was sure that Elvis was saying "Return to Simba".

Did you ever hear the Weird Al Yankovic story about that song?

quote:

"Weird Al" Yankovic parodied the song in 1992 with "Smells Like Nirvana", a song about Nirvana itself.

Cobain quickly gave permission, but asked, "It's not about food, is it?" Yankovic answered, "No, it's about how nobody can understand your lyrics."

Upon hearing the parody, Cobain and his bandmates laughed hysterically. Yankovic has said Cobain told him he realized that Nirvana had "made it" when he heard the parody.

PASig, I had never heard the Weird Al take on the song before. That was pretty fun. The back story was good too, obviously, I was far from the only one who couldn’t understand Cobain. Thanks

A few years back I learned there was an actual term for it.

Definition and Examples of Mondegreens

Excerpt from the article (there are some funny examples of mondegreens in the article):

quote:
A mondegreen is a word or phrase that results from mishearing or misinterpreting a statement or song lyric. Mondegreens are also known as oronyms.

The term mondegreen was coined in 1954 by American writer Sylvia Wright and was popularized by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll. The term was inspired by "Lady Mondegreen," a misinterpretation of the line "And laid him on the green" from the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl o' Moray."



From the Eagles, for years and years I heard;

"Life in the Vaseline, surely make you lose your mind."

I just figured they were singing about some kinky stuff. Wink
