Just heard (mis-heard) another one earlier today, from "Beneath, Between, & Behind:"

Should be:
"Beneath the noble birth
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear"

I heard:
"Beneath the noble birth
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks a beer"

cool.gif

i thought it was "beneath the nobile birds" until now tongue.gif

My friend, you are right! It IS "Beneath the noble bird!" tongue.gif I mean, "birth?" that doesn't even make sense!

 

Mis-quoting a misquote....that might be a first for me, at least that I know of! cool.gif

Finally I will admit it:

I misheard

"A modern day warrior" as "Monday morning"

and

"The world is" as "No worries"


Please understand English is my second language.

"ducks and dodges the tomatoes"

I admit to hearing "A Monday warrior". . .but I was QUICKLY corrected. Long time ago. And I do not have your convenient excuse!

and....what you say about 'three's company' is what you say about society....catch the witness, catch 'dewitt' catch the spirit, catch the spit. lol

Oh my god, that is really amazing. What is even more amazing... I actually sang that in my head and it made perfect sense. unsure.gif

Nothing can top this. When I first heard Signal's The Weapon, I thought the line "But he was a lot more afraid of your lying" was "But he was a lot more afraid of your lion".

Omigosh, that was my first reaction too!

I was like, "Huhwhat? Your lion?"

Glad to see I'm not alone in mishearing that.

Ok it seems someone else posted this pages back. I guess it's more common than I thought. smile.gif

from TSOR: "bright and tender, bristle with the energy"

You mean that's not what he sings? To be honest, I actually thought these were the lyrics until I read them on the album.

Back in 1983, my first exposure to Rush was from cassettes imported from Saudi Arabia. The lyrics printed in the covers were, we later found, somewhat less than accurate, but compellingly realistic nonetheless:

 

"I strip away the old Capri and find a brand new car" was the pick of the bunch.

 

Oh, and I always heard "revelate from the norm".

Okay, this thread is rofl3.gif

 

I honestly cannot think of lyrics I may have misheard because the actual lyrics are now replacing them. I thank obsession and complete-ism for that.

 

 

PS. You might want to have a look in the LOL Rush thread.... wink.gif

I always hear that, or "breathing smoke in Lebanon."


"The sky is BITCHING violently..."

The sky is pitching really does sound like bitching laugh.gif But another one for me is the beginning of FBN "Its time i was king and not just one more pawn." sounds a lot like "Its time i was king now i just f***ed my mom".....

I screwed up this line in "New World Man" for, oh, about 20 years:

"He's a writer and arranger. . ."

I thought it was:

"He's a rider and a ranger. . ." blush4.gif

Yep, that's the one for me...I went years before looking that up since it fits so well and also the part in Limelight... "with some fishing tack"! Man, I actually like the misheard parts lol.

Mine is Fly by Night:

 

 

misheard lyrics: Changes are coming and I just can't pretend

 

correct lyrics: My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

 

I was SO sure I was right about this one, I lost a bet with a husband on it. I couldn't believe it when I read the correct lyrics.
