Or you're going to have to go with girls
You might be better off
At least they know what they're doing"

I always thought the last line was "At least you'd know where to put it"

Same, i am sure it is!

You guys were all much closer than I was.

It's 'Call Me When You Try And Wake Her'

But I've always preferred 'Call me the chowder baker'

I'd be amazed if anyone could guess correctly what the chorus is without looking it up.

Coming in to wake her up?

Going in to wake her up?

I take it to be:

"Don't even try to wake her up, she only sleeps standing up."

Used to think another song on that album was "This Is A Wall".

Walls and doors, similar theme. Starting to think Ian Brown had a hidden message in this album.

Weezer's "Why Bother"(if this hasn't been said before) is fairly popular when it comes to mishearing the lyrics which plenty of people mistake the lyrics with "my father, is gonna hurt me"

This is the one that I picked up from Youtube, and I can't unhear it.. In fact, I don't even know what the actual lyrics are.

From Cut Copy's Out There On the Ice:
You don't know what to do, there's a gay gnome, who'll be there for you

Well there is Jimi's "S'cuse me while I kiss this guy" which he actually played on himself and sometimes mispronounced on purpose.

Then there is Elton John's "Don't let your son go down on me" ... and that was before I knew he was gay.

Then, when we had to do an oral presentation in class discussing the meaning of the lyrics of a song of our choice, one guy explained the fact that the guy needed to pull into Hotel California because his back was breaking from the weight of joints in his back pack ... "I had too many in my sack of them, I had to stop for the night." (real line: "My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim"). Yeah, he did not have a good grade on this assignment.

I used to put on Boxer by the National without reading the song names.

For a very long time I thought he was singing "Thinking Pie" instead of "Fake Empire".
I thought it was a little weird, but it was The National so hey.

I always heard The Who's Eminence Front as "What's in Eminem's Trunk?" Still cracks me up when I'm listening to the song.

I always thought, in his song 'The Winner', that Coolio said "if knowledge is power and power is knowledge, then how so many Indians be graduating from colleges?". But it's "idiots", not "Indians". Turns out Coolio doesn't hate Indians (openly).
