Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.
Apparently when I was 3, the song, “If you’re gonna play in Texas,” by Alabama, came out.
I heard, “If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a parallelogram.”
When I was about 10, instead of “smoke two joints”, I thought it was “spoke to Joyce”.
I spoke Joyce in the morning I spoke to Joyce at night I spoke to Joyce in the afternoon it makes me feel alrightI spoke to Joyce in time of peace and too in time of war I spoke to Joyce before I spoke to Joyce and then I spoke some more Spoooooke to Joyce that’s what I do!My mom laughed for 5 full minutes when I told her.
I don’t think Nikki Minage (spelling?) meant to say: “I want you to fart on my young”
I used to think the KISS song went I wanna rock and roll all night… and part of every day.
It’s far less hard core that way.
🤣
Probs a common one but when ever Blinded By The Light came on I only heard “woke up like a douche” instead of “revved up like a deuce”
I heard, “Wrapped up like a douche,” which always went well with misunderstanding the lyric after it, “Another rumor in the night.” (Correct line is “Another runner in the night.”)
I only knew about ‘deuce’ as a synonym for poop, when I first heard the song, which made it very confusing.
Turns out it’s a pretty versatile word.
Missing by Everything but the girl. I thought she sang ‘tiramisu, like the dessert mystery’.
My roommate used to think Jimi Hendrix sang “excuse me while I kiss this guy” until I explained it was “sky”.
Although in his defense years later I heard a live version where I’m pretty sure he changes it for a verse or two to “kiss this guy.”
Hahaha I always mishear “Rock the Casbah” as “F*ck the Casbah!” Which seems more rebellious and more in line with the spirit of the song.
When the song was new, my dad heard I’m Your Venus played over the school cafeteria speakers, but everyone else knew the song so they didn’t react to it. He went years never understanding the meaning of that song.
It’s an oldie, but my parents had George Benson’s Give Me The Night on during a road trip and I was pretty sure he was saying “Give me the knife”
