Give me your misheard lyrics. (spare me the Purple Haze one ok LOL)
Spoiler:
At 105 I hear:
"Someone chasing a cannibal"
I began to suspect I was hearing it wrong and later thought I was hearing:
" Someone chasing a caribou"
In reality it is:
"Someone chasing; I cannot move."
it was nearly two decades from the song's release before I wrote to the fan site for clarification. (This video has it wrong too. But MUCH closer than I) 10-04-2018 04:45 PMladysaiI have misheard countless lyrics,
But the worst, and most persistant, is my mishearing of Manfred Mann's "Blinded By the Light"...
I hear "wrapped up like a douche"
But its really
"Revved up like a deuce".
~shrug~ Might be a girl thing.

Eddie Vedder would use different lyrics every time he sang the song live.
These are the "official" lyrics. I put official in scare quotes because there are no official lyrics.

And that's a 4th on the "wrapped up like a douche." I'd swear that he's actually saying that! 10-06-2018 04:44 AMBr!anI knew the Springsteen song lyrics, so I never though it said douche. It does sound like it though. You can tell that Springsteen says deuce. 10-06-2018 05:42 PMJon
No sir...Credence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising
"Bad Moon Rising"
I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise 10-06-2018 05:50 PMJon 10-06-2018 06:38 PMJon
I believe Bruce (yes...we are on a first name basis...but for some reason he calls me "Dick" and sometimes Bruce calls me "Who the fuck is that guy at the window??!! Wendy! Call the cops!!" Bruce didn't have a lot of luck with the tune on his 1973 album, Greetings From Ashbury Park, N.J. but yes, Bruce wrote the song and claims the lyrics are:
"cut lose like a Deuce"
This refers the popular 1932 Ford. This was the first production offering of an V-8 cylinder engine in America and lead to America's decades long fascination with the 8-cylinder engine until the oil embargo's of the 1970's. After the embargo, the "V" piston configuration continued and still does to this day in many V- 6-cylinder versions and some 4 cylinder versions.
If I must explain, the "2" at the end of the year of production is, in Spanish, is translated as "Deuce." The car was made popular later by The Beach Boys' album Little Deuce Coup and the hit song from that album of the same name.

In 1976 the song reached it's full fame as a cover by Manfrerd Mann's Earth Band. The band made some changes including the lyrics.."cut lose like a Deuce" being changed to "revved up like a deuce" referring to racing up that V-8 engine. The Manfrerd Mann's Earth Band version was #1 and Springsteen's highest ranking tune, as a songwriter on the Billboard 100 until the USA For Africa collaboration.

It's likely you are thinking of the Manfred Mann's Earth Band cover with the keyboard heavy. It is more clear in Brice's version. Bruce relies on horns more:

:wtf: 10-08-2018 09:10 AMRUBEI know two different people (that have never met) that thought the main lyric in AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was Dirty Deeds, Dunder Chief. 10-08-2018 09:18 AMfernandito 10-08-2018 09:44 AMamd013Ok, this one is embarissing, but when I was 12ish, I thought in "Another one bites the Dust" they were saying "another buster duster". This was back in the day when the dust buster was a new thing. Why anyone would sing about a hand held vacuum was beyond me. 10-08-2018 02:09 PMfernanditoI used to think the lyrics were
