Until two or three weeks ago, I thought the lyrics for Limp Bizkit’s “Just Like This” were concerned about John Goodman’s weight.
“…and we make sure that John Goodman beats fat”
The song randomly popped into my head a few weeks ago, and I was like “wait, that can’t be right”. So I looked up the correct lyrics which are “And we made sure that John kept them beats phat”
I just breathed a sigh of relief that John Goodman is not the subject of a Limp Bizkit song…

Call Me Maybe / Carly Rae Jepsen
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you’re in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Swear to Satan it’s realAt first sight, and it’s real
I didn’t know I would feel it
But it’s in my wayYep. Knew it was wrong, but that’s what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.
She’s got electric boobs… Something something… B-b-b-benny and the jetsssss
Head Automatica - I Shot William H. Macy
What my friends and I heard when the album dropped: “Yeah, yeah… I put a sausage in your little hand!”
What the actual line says: “Yeah yeah, I’ll put assassins in your little head.”
Although my all-time favorite is and will forever be:
“Excuse me, while I kiss this guy” - Jimmy Hendrix
I had a friend in grade school that argued with me about the lyrics to Kenny Rodgers The Gambler. He was loudly and angrily certain the song said “You gotta know how to hold 'em” and would NOT hear my suggestion that it is really “when to hold 'em”.
The next day he quietly told me I was right.
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
This is my curseThis is my purse
What have I become my Swedish friend?
Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.
