Mondegreens

 So about Mondegreens: We all have instances where we misheard lyrics so here's mine gathered together in this page.

Enjoy/tolerate:

Song: Baby Animals - Don't Tell Me What To Do
The Correct lyric: Don't quite / Recall when it began
What I Thought It Was: Don't cry / We're calling it a day
Comments: Amusement aside, that's actually quite a good line. If any aspiring songwriter wants to use it for a break-up song then feel free to use it.

Song: M.I.A. - XXXO
The Correct lyric: You want me to be / Somebody who I'm really not
What I Thought It Was: I want to be / with somebody who I barely know
Comments: Again, a great line that is wasted on this blog. One can only wonder what kind of song would such a line attached to it...

Song: Future Islands - Seasons
The Correct lyric: But the winter will crave what's gone
What I Thought It Was: And into the great unknown
Comments: Funny how a poetic lyric is misheard by me as something generic....

Song: Chats - Pub Feed
The Correct lyric: All I crave is a good Pub Feed!
What I Thought It Was: All I crave is a good Humvee!
Comments: Seriously, who wouldn't want a good Humvee?
