I thought it would be fun to have a thread about misunderstood lyrics.  There's no easier way of feeling like a horse's ass than to be tossing back a few suds with some friends, hear a song you like and start belting out some lyrics...only to have someone give you "that look" and start cracking up because the lyrics were wrong!

One of mine:  When I first heard Breakdown (yes I was too damned lazy to read the lyrics) I thought Axl was saying "Everybody wants to sell you a different buyer"....I was like "WTF???"

The line in the song "Love Her Madly" by The Doors when he says "Don't you love her as she's walking out the door." I first thought it was "Don't you love her ASS, she's walking out the door."

I thought he said "Whisper to shed it's a lonely view"

For Def Leppards Pour some Sugar on Me where he sings "Do you like Sugar, One lump or two" I thought he said "Your lips like sugar.." and relaly had no idea what he said after that. I guess I would jusst sing along about (When I'm with you or something). Oddly enough I didn't find out the lyrics until about 2 or 3 weeks ago I was watching We are the 80's on VH1 & one of the people commented on that line. I thought to myself, 'Huh, I never knew that'

I went to a concert in high school and a band was singing some classic Brownsville Station.  They thought the name of the song was "Smokey and the Boys Rule"  (Smokin' in the Boys Room).  Needless to say, we had a good chuckle about it.
