I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.

Thanks for this. When I was a teenager I heard this song from the meme, then unironically began listening to it on my iPod, and I still love it
Head Automatica - The Razor
Yeah, yeah!
I put a sausage in your little ha-aand!
ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace. I always hear “she wanna pearl necklace” as “she wanna put on Netflix”.
Nightwish - Wishmaster. I’ll just leave this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ
Blinded by the light . To me it always just sounds like he is saying dressed up like a douche , I can’t even remember what the actual lyrics are.
Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night.
I always hear “ripped up like a douche”
I always heard wrapped up like a douche another roamer in the night
The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it’s mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.
Digimon
Digital Monsters
Digimon Garlic Champions
There was a series of bumps for Digimon marathons during the summer once when I was a kid that went
“Beat the heat with a digi-beat.”
My siblings and friends and I would instead say “beat your meat with a parakeet.” I still sometimes think about it and hum it to myself lol
“Salmon chanted heaving,” by Harrison Ford.
Jimi Hendrix - “‘scuse me while I kiss this guy!”
A more recent one I love is Selena Gomez - Good for You: “I’m on a farting carrot. I’m farting carrot.”
(First 2 lines of song)
Don’t tell your friends about the tour bus.
I left some brains down in Africa.
She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.
Real lyrics? I guess the second is Toto’s famous ‘I bless the rains down in Africa’, but the others?
The first is “don’t tell your friends about the two of us” from I’m not in love, 10cc.
Might just be my humour, but I do wonder why he didn’t their friends to know about the tour bus. What did he do it it?

The last one was already guessed - AC /DC - You shook me all night long.
The third one is AC/DC. You shook me all night long.
She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.
That’s a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!
… She was the best damn printer that I EVER seen!
Dirty deeds THUNDER CHIEF
Dirty Jeans and the Thunder Chief
Thunder cheeks works as well and is dirtier.
I thought they were saying butt stains on the carpet in smooth criminal by alien ant farm.
That one Taylor Swift song about being Starbucks Lovers
Omg. I thought I was the only one that heard that!
Even on Taylor’s Version, it still sounds like “Starbucks Lovers”.
Blank Space. And she does have a ‘lovely Starbucks lovers’, as least as I first heard it. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s actually a ‘long list of ex lovers’.
Holy shit… Are you telling me it’s not “gotta love those Starbucks lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane?”
I have a serious problem with understanding lyrics in songs. I look them up when I don’t quite understand what is being said and I realize I didn’t even fully comprehend half of the verses to begin with. It’s like musical dyslexia or something.
It’s really common, it’s not just you. Singers sing much more indistinctly than they talk, and it’s common enough it’s been given a name.
