‘Scuse me While I Kiss This Guy: 8 Popular Misheard Song Lyrics

MISHEARD-LYRICS-HBANNER
[dropcap letter=”T”]he most popular misheard lyric of all time is “’scuse me while I kiss this guy” from rock and roll god Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze. (Then again, maybe he was that progressive?) Seriously. There’s even a website dedicated to it.

There are many instances when artists make songs so abstract, they become virtually undecipherable; leaving people to come up with their own insane (or silly) interpretations of what’s actually being said.

So in remembrance of all the times a drunken friend would belt out HOLD ME CLOSER TONY DANZA (best feeling in the world) to many an Elton John-themed karaoke party, to singing “it doesn’t matter if we’re naked or not” whenever Livin’ on a Prayer pops up during power ballad hour on the radio, here are a list of popular old and new misheard song lyrics.

 

8. Queen – We Will Rock You

 

The Misheard Lyrics: You big disgrace/ Kicking your cat all over the place/

The Actual Lyrics: You big disgrace/ Kicking your can all over the place/

Why would you want to kick a cat all over the place? Who does that? Probably the same kind of people who abhor breakfast, hate naps and rainbows. And THESE people.

 

7. Taylor Swift – Blank Space

 

The Misheard Lyrics: Got a lot of Starbucks lovers/ They’ll tell you I’m insane

The Actual Lyrics: Got a long list of ex-lovers/ They’ll tell you I’m insane

Of course expensive coffee lovers will tell you you’re insane. Caffeine overdose leads to restlessness, anxiety, hallucinations, even death. So take it easy on the orange mocha frappuccinos.

 

6. Billy Joel – We Didn’t Start the Fire

 

The Misheard Lyrics: We didn’t start the fire/ It was always burning/ Said the worst attorney

The Actual Lyrics: We didn’t start the fire/ It was always burning since the world’s been turning

To be fair, this is one tough song to sing. “Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, mrrrmmrrrmmrrrrmdeeeeerm JOE DIMAGGIO!”

 

5. Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora – Black Widow

 

The Misheard Lyrics: I’m gonna love ya, gonna love ya/ Like a black little baby

The Actual Lyrics: I’m gonna love ya, gonna love ya/ Like a black widow, baby

D’aaaaaaawwwwwww. I want to be loved just like this black little baby.

 

4. Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

 

The Misheard Lyrics: Here we are now/ In containers/ Avocado/ A potato

The Actual Lyrics: Here we are now/ Entertain us/ A mulatto/ An albino

Teen spirit smells like salad.

 

3. Alanis Morisette – You Oughta Know

 

The Misheard Lyrics: It’s not fair/ To deny me/ Of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me

The Actual Lyrics: It’s not fair/ To deny me/ Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

Alanis’ rage is justified. Who wouldn’t want a cross-eyed bear? And why would you deny one a cross-eyed bear? They’re magically awesome, and are a great source of hugs. They’ll be your best friend and go on crazy adventures.

2. Lil Jon – Turn Down for What

 

The Misheard Lyrics: Farting loud/ Another round of shots

The Actual Lyrics: Fire up that loud/ Another round of shots

Loud farts are actually pretty okay, since they tend not to smell that gnarly. It’s the silent farts that you have to worry about. Next time you see your arch-nemesis at a bar, stand next to him and let out a fart. Depending on what you eat, you’ll offend their sense of smell and let them get a taste of the eggs and onions that you had for dinner. THEN get a shot. FLAWLESS VICTORY.  (side note: never hold your farts in. This might happen)

 

1. Maroon 5 – Animals

 

The Misheard Lyrics: Hunt you down/ Eat you alive just like animals/ Animals/ Like animals balls

The Actual Lyrics: Hunt you down/ Eat you alive just like animals/ Animals/ Like animals-mals

Fun fact: the bacteria Wolbachia, which infects arthropods, are notable for infecting the testes (read: balls) and ovaries of their hosts. They kill males during larval development, which can increase the rate of born, infected females. So eating someone like animals balls isn’t really a good idea, unless you’re into that sort of thing. We won’t judge.

 

“I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone,” “And I saw her face, now I’m gonna leave her.” Please post your favorite misheard lyric below!
