"The House Of The Rising Sun" by The Animals
Better Lyrics:
I ran away with the circus
'cuz there's still some honest work left for beaded ladies
But it's not the same going town to town

Misheard Lyrics Story:
"In My Bed," Amy Winehouse
Misheard Lyrics:
You'll never get mama right
Like two ships passing in the night
Like two ships passing in the night
Original Lyrics:
You'll never get my mind right
like two ships passing in the night
like two ships passing in the night
Story about this misheard lyric by: Martin: The song came on the radio as me and my mom were listening. "She has an amazing voice, but why is she singing 'never get mama right'?" she asked me. I'd heard the track before and I was sure those were the right words, so I replied "She's using black slang, it's mama meaning "your woman". Only when I got 'Frank' did I realize what the lyric was.
"Anna (Go To Him)," The Beatles
Misheard Lyrics:
Anna, just one more finger
Original Lyrics:
Anna, just one more thing girl
Story about this misheard lyric by: Ray Daniels: There was a Dutch (Indonesian) band doing this song in Germany in the sixties and they believed this to be the actual lyric
"Everything I Once Had," The Honorary Title
Misheard Lyrics:
There's a hole in the mattress that we
Napped out in my bed for six long months
OR
There's a hole in that dress that we
Left out in my bed for six long months
Napped out in my bed for six long months
OR
There's a hole in that dress that we
Left out in my bed for six long months
Original Lyrics:
There's a hole in the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed for six long months
Mapped out in my bed for six long months
Story about this misheard lyric by: Alex: I definitely thought the mattress thing because the music video is full of pillow feathers!
"Gimme Back My Bullets," Lynyrd Skynyrd
Misheard Lyrics:
And I've got my act together, gonna warm all over you
Original Lyrics:
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you
Story about this misheard lyric by: Josh: For some reason, I thought the singer hated to person who took his bullets so much that he was threatening to pee on him by saying he was gonna "warm" all over him. I've mentioned it to a couple guys a work, and a few actually said it kinda makes sense, but sounds like something I'd come up with anyway.
"Blinded By The Light," Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Misheard Lyrics:
wrecked up like a doushant in the middle of the night.
Original Lyrics:
And she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.
Story about this misheard lyric by: Alex:
"Big Poppa," Notorious B.I.G.
Misheard Lyrics:
I love it when you call me David Copperfunk.
Original Lyrics:
I love it when you call me Big Poppa.
Story about this misheard lyric by: Ricky Peyton: Some friends and I were out bar hopping one night. We stopped at this bar and got on the dance floor and big poppa came on. Later on in the night my buddy Josh was singing and out came " I love it when you call me David Copperfunk." I still don't understand how he confused that so bad.
"Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now," Starship
Misheard Lyrics:
Mympsi went crazy

Story about this misheard lyric by: cyn: I always wondered, who Mympsi was, who went crazy... ;-)
"Sopranos theme," unknown
Misheard Lyrics:
Woke up this morning. Got a boom boom in your eye.
Original Lyrics:
Woke up this morning. Got a blue moon in your eye.
Story about this misheard lyric by: Michael L. Spaur: My misheard lyrics made perfect sence to me for years. I thought they were alluding to the scene in "The Godfather," where the accountant took a bullet (boom boom) in the eye through his glasses while he was in bed. I'd still think it was "boom boom," but I got a phone call and hit the remote mute button which automatically brings up the subtitles. While talking, I watched the lyrics displayed on the screen. I understood "boom boom," but what the hell does "blue moon" mean?

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous" by Good Charlotte
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Lifestyles of the rich and famous,
they're always complainin',
if money is such a problem,
think we should rob them
they're always complainin',
if money is such a problem,
think we should rob them
Why They're Nonsensical:
Ok, so, Good Charlotte says they're rich and famous, and they're singing this song to complain about rich and famous people who complain. Hyppocrites? Or do they hate themselves? And....they apparently also want us to rob them?

"Me And My Arrow" by Harry Nilsson
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my arrow.
It's me and my arrow.
Why They're Nonsensical:
First of all, it should be 'My Arrow And Me.' It is not correct English to say 'Me And My Arrow.' Second of all, when Harry Nilsson mentions himself and his arrow, it makes him sound like the arrow is his girlfriend. That doesn't make any sense, I mean an arrow is not a person; an arrow is something that's used to point to something or give directions.

"In-Betweenies" by Ian Dury
The Nonsensical Lyrics:

With a capital nought!
Why They're Nonsensical:
There is no such thing as a capital nought, nought is just nought. Just anything to rhyme with 'Who would have thought?'

Dated Lyrics:
"The Big Heat" by Stan Ridgway
The Dated Lyrics:
Along the way he wondered if he'd left behind a clue,
A front page of the paper dated 1992.
A front page of the paper dated 1992.
Why They're Dated:
When Ridgway recorded this song in 1986, the date of the paper was supposed to indicate that the fellow was a little off-kilter, like a time traveller or some such thing. Now, he is merely someone who yearns for the past.
