Misheard Lyrics

So everyone has heard their dad guffaw (as only dads can do) about how he listened to the Beatles and SWORE they said "The girl with colitis goes by" instead of "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes".

But in the modern day world with lyrics at the touch of a button, it's pretty impressive that these lyrics slip through.

Pussycat Dolls (PCD) "When I Grow Up"

"When I grow up, I wanna be famous/ I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies

When I grow up, I wanna see the world/ Drive fast cars, I wanna have boobies"

Listen to the song in the video box and swear to me that's not what it says. (Okay the real lyric is "groupies", but I can honestly hear both. And boobies kind of makes sense).

Fall Out Boy "This Ain't a Scene, it's an Arms Race"

Check out the video at left; while I don't agree with most of their "misheard lyrics" from the mumbling group, I DO totally agree that it sounds like:

"I'm oh-so evil, also into cats".

And I giggle everytime I hear it. I believe the real lyric is "oh so intricate". But it could be the cats.

You tell me--

"Catch my picture, smack my bitch up"

OR

"Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up"?

In which I found probably my first, true, misheard lyrics moment:

Eiffel 65, "I'm Blue"

"I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy I'm in need of a guy, I'm in need of a guy."

Which I still hear. And is as true today (horrifically) as it was in middle school. Awesome.

And I never realized how little I actually understand of what's being said in Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Check out the videos at left to see what I mean--and tell me your "What the hell did he say?!" moments!!
