    Paramore - Playing God

    I heard: "You say that I've been changing, that I'm not just simply Asian." :o

    Real lyrics: "You say that I've been changing, that I'm not just simply ageing." :D

    Love this song. I don't think that I've ever misheard their lyrics. :)

    Me too, with that one I obviously guessed that it was ageing. I don't usually get their lyrics wrong either. :)

    Hayley's always had good diction so that's why, I think. :)

    Yeah, she doesn't need to mumble words to make them fit.

    The Police with Every Breath You Take. I always thought Sting sung 'I will pull her legs' but only found out a few years back it's 'how my poor heart aches'
    Years ago a friend of mine was singing away to Madonnas' Dress You Up. She thought the lyric was 'gonna dress you up in nylon' until I had to correct her and say 'dress you up in my love'. I still sing the nylon bit. Makes me chuckle.

    The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

    When I was quite young I honestly used to think they were singing "His Welfare Is Ron Atkinson"!
    Actual line of course is "His Welfare is Of My Concern"!

    when I was little I thought the words to Don't Cry for me Argentina

    Real Lyric = All through my wild days, my mad existence
    Misheard Lyric = All through my wiseness, my anyglypta

    Not sure why wallpaper would be sung about...

    When I heard Elton John's "Island Girl" I though he was saying "I like girls." This confused me. :confused:

    I also thought Lulu was singing 'I'm a Thai Girl' which was confusing as she's Scottish and doesn't look remotely Oriental, when she actually sings 'I'm A Tiger'.

    On No Doubts Excuse me Mr, I thought it started:

    "I'm like a baker with no laws"

    until last week when i realised its

    "i'm like a beggar with no luck" which makes more sense!

    Me too :D I still song it for fun whenever I listen to it now :)

    Tulisa- Young.

    Misheard lyric: I don't mean to fatten you up, it's just fun.
    Actual lyric: I don't mean to frighten you off, it's just fun.

    Is that what she's saying? :o

    I've always heard the same as you and knew it couldn't possibly be right but I never bothered to look up the correct lyric.

    TBF I didn't think it was about someone physically eating grass, I thought it was some sort of euphemism for taking weed

    It is actually. I looked up the real lyrics to that song a couple of years ago. I think it's one of GA's best singles.
