"Try to catch a fox in space and keep it in your pocket."
- Those Dancing Days, "Keep Me In Your Pocket"

...Wait, nope, that's the actual lyric. What the hell?

"God used me as a hammer would, beaten, weary, drunk today."
-Tom Waits, Hoist That Rag

Actual line is "God used me as a hammer, boys, to beat his weary drum today."

At least I think that's the actual line, I had it wrong for years.

My last one seemed a lot funnier before I remembered his name was Oscar.

Speaking of Tom Waits, the line from Jitterbug Boy:
"Resting on my Laurels and my Hardys too."

The first version I had of this song was a bootleg live show, and my favorite of many of the songs on it, but he sounded tipsy, and slurred a lot. As a result, I used to think it was:
"Resting on my laurels and my heart is soup."

I actually like the song more with these lyrics instead of a cheap joke based on an old comedy duo.

I like that version too, Cag. Heh.

"Blazing potato pulls apart a holy copper shrine..."
-Abney Park, Beautiful Decline

Actual line is "Pleasant patina pulls apart a holy copper shrine..."

It really doesn't seem like they should sound that much alike, but I had to Google the correct lyrics because I apparently can't unhear 'blazing potato'.

You are my bitter rival - better eat you for survival.

deer of the dawn wrote:She's got electric boobs, you know she do! --Bennie and the jets

I always heard that one as: "She's got electric boobs, her ma has too!"

Oops, hit post too quick.

I've been a lifelong Rush fan, and I know there are a couple others on here too, so you might enjoy this.

All my life I thought the phrase "pictures that give pleasure to your eyes" in 2112 was "pictures that you plug into your eyes"

Only when I saw Geddy sing it live did I realize I'd heard it wrong all those years LOL

"Living On Tulsa Time " by Clapton was heard as
"Living on Toast and Wine". What a great breakfast!

First time I heard Gwen Stefani sing, ""Cause I ain't no hollaback girl", I thought it sounded like, "'Cause I ain't no farming black girl!"...even though I KNEW that couldn't be right.
