Misheard lyrics

[Black Abyss Babe]

Just remembered this one from the '90s: Eternal, The Only One -

"If you take a chance,
I'll do Riverdance!"

 

[Number 6]

"Innocent Exile": "my life is so empty" => "momma is so empty"

I used to hear it like that when I was younger. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

 

[Number 6]

This one isn't mine, but I've seen it around and think it's hilarious:

From "The Evil That Men Do": "her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence" => "her eyes red with the slaughter of anal sex"

 

[Diesel 11]

"Innocent Exile": "my life is so empty" => "momma is so empty"

I used to hear it like that when I was younger. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

I still here something like this, only it's more "Mom, I've been so antsy".

 

[Deuces High]

Alexander the Great:

By the age of 19,
He became the mastodon king

 

[Night Prowler]

I thought it was "He became the maximum king"

 

[Deuces High]

I always thought "the Mastodon King" sounded kinda cool... like, maybe Alexander was almost as culturally significant as Babar? (When he died of a fever in Babylon, I'm pretty sure it was 'cause he ate a poison mushroom.)

Also: Until I saw the lyrics, I thought the opening lines of Al the Great were:

Was born a son,
To be the master,
In legend his name,
Was Alexander

('Cause, hey, it actually kinda/sorta rhymes...)

Also, part 2: Not a misheard lyric, but one of my kids sings a line from the first song in the Book of Souls album:

"A queef is the smell at the end of the girl..."

 

[Diesel 11]

one of my kids

Are you... proud of them?

 

[Deuces High]

Are you... proud of them?

Yes: He just turned 42 and can tie his shoes with (almost) no help.

They're velcro shoes, but still.

Next week he's applying to Harvard.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

"Innocent Exile": "my life is so empty" => "momma is so empty"

I used to hear it like that when I was younger. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

I still hear it like that.

 

[Number 6]

Also: Until I saw the lyrics, I thought the opening lines of Al the Great were:

Was born a son,
To be the master,
In legend his name,
Was Alexander

Except, for me, it was "to free the master".

I also used to hear "by the agency"—until I read the lyrics, never once occurred to me that it was "Aegean Sea". Why? I have no idea.

 

[Magnus]

C.I.Aegean Sea

 

[Ariana]

Looks like Alex is very fruitful. I kept hearing ''He slaughtered free all of Asia Minor".

 

[Magnus]

''He slaughtered free all of Asia Minor".

That was Tamerlane, I think.

 

[Deuces High]

Hallowed Be Thy Name:

Can it be that the sun is a mirror?
(Can it be that there's some sort of error)

When you know your time is crucial
(When you know your time...)

 

[Diesel 11]

When you know your time is crucial

I've sometimes heard "crucent", which isn't even a word, lol.

 

[Deuces High]

I've sometimes heard "crucent", which isn't even a word, lol.

If only they listened to us, they could've avoided all that trouble with Beckett...

 

[Poto]

A friend of mine thought Only the good die young was having a good time, yo!

 

[Ariana]

Iced Earth - Black Flag
I keep hearing "Boiling the flute" instead of "Boarding the sloop".

 

[Black Bart]

A friend of mine thought Only the good die young was having a good time, yo!
