Misheard song lyrics
This is something that has probably happened to all of us: the radio turns on, and your current favorite song starts blasting. You grab the hairbrush that has never left the side pocket of the car and start screaming the lyrics. When you finish your *ahem* beautiful rendition of whatever song is playing, everyone’s staring at you. Someone hands you their phone and scrolls down to the song who’s lyrics you just butchered. Oops.
Okay, maybe just me, but I’m pretty sure everyone has misheard song lyrics at some point, whether they belted out the lyrics in front of people or not. These are three of my favorites:
The Story Of My Life by One Direction
Actual lyrics: “The story of my life, I take her home”
Lyrics that my three-year-old self heard: “The story of my life, I dig a hole”
Grenade by Bruno Mars
Actual lyrics: "Cause baby I would catch a grenade for ya, throw my hand on a blade, for ya”
Lyrics that my babysitter heard: "Cause I would catch a pomegranate for ya, would put it on a plate, for ya”
Dancing Queen by ABBA
Actual lyrics: “See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen”
Lyrics seven-year-old me heard watching Mamma Mia for the first time: "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen”
