Misheard Lyrics
A few lines I've personally misheard in songs (and one from a friend in high school that I found hilarious):
My hearing: "Don't masquerade in the dying shades of love"
Real Lyric: "Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no."
- Corey Hart, "Sunglasses At Night" (I like mine better)
My hearing: "It's time to be Jamaicans"
Real Lyric: "It's time to meet your makers"
- Fugazi, "Latin Roots"
My friend's hearing: "Gangway, Street Slave! I'll never behave!"
Real Lyric: "Langauge keeps me locked and repeating"
- Fugazi, "Stacks" (always cracks me up)
My hearing: "Lately one or two fully blooded Jews have been working for the Clampdown."
Real Lyric: "Lately one or two have fully paid their dues for working for the Clampdown."
- What do you think?

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Well, that lyric is flatly impossible..."Lately one or two fully blooded Jews have been working for the Clampdown."
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Related note: I used to think the following musical titles were correct (as a child):
"The Best Little Warehouse in Texas"
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat."

Re: Misheard Lyrics
Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Villager and a Lee Right Smart
Do Right Wilson, a cool operator
Camp boots a UK pop reggae
With backing fine sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many blacks in television
My body was fucked up so nice with uncool stage fright
Dancing from the bass line to the trouble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rhythm
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock hello-ooooo
Vespa, vespa. This is a booby in a tank
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with the cunts
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
For the first time from Jamaica

Re: Misheard Lyrics
I know the proper lyric, but it always sounds like UK pop brigade and blues rock rebel to me.
