There is actually a term for this, misinterpreting a phrase from pop-culture (like a poem or lyrics to a song) is called mondegreen. Don't ask me how i know that, but it's cool :D

EDIT: [image loading]

This made me lol pretty hard, not really lyrics but its basically what it sounds like

Video of the song, for reference.

I thought this was the line for year, and that it was some weird metaphor i wasn't getting.

I thought that Macy Gray song was more like, "I keep my cool but I'm feeling [blue]" but I guess it's "I keep my cool but I'm fiending." I know she never actually says blue but it rhymes and made more sense to me, made the song kinda better. Also, I thought she said "My world crumbles when you are not here." But I guess she says "my world crumbles when you are not near" which again sounds a little less good to me. Those are the two main ones.

Maybe this one doesn't count because I've never found out the real lyrics...

I never could figure out most of the lyrics to November Rain until I Googled them.

Definitly New Noise from Refused... never got what the screaming was until i looked it up, which was pretty much about 2 years after regularly screaming along in clubs ... wrong, of course

Fishmaster?

Actually because I've read Dragonlance since I was 8, I never misunderstood this song.

In that "I'm Blue" song, I always heard it as "I'm blue, if I was green I would die."

so sad to find out the real one.

Also, for the song "Peaches" I was 100% sure it was "Pigeons." As in, "moving to the country, gonna eat me a lot of pigeons."

Sorely disappointed by both.

Most songs by disturbed i need to actually look the lyrics up before the song makes sense, if i try to guess on my own it usually turns into gibberish lyrics.
