Lump Sum

Adam has been singing alot lately (suprise suprise, considering his mother!) and of course the whole "Is this a grown up (yay, he's finally saying that word instead!) or a kid song?" everytime something comes on the radio.  It's fun to listen to his interpretations of songs...One of his latest that he's been warbling is Selena Gomez's "I love you like a love song baby."  (Don't judge him, he still likes to sing Master of Puppets by Metallica and AC/DC tunes for my metal head friends)  Anyway, the real lyric goes something like this:

I, I love you like a love song baby
I, I love you like a love song baby
and I keep hitting repe-pe pe pe peat.


And then, there's Adam's version:

I, I love you like a lump sum baby
I, I love you like a lump sum baby
and I keep re-heating peep peep peep peep peeps!!

I can't help but giggle everytime he sings that, why would you need to re-heat peeps when you don't heat them in the first place, lol. Anyway, it got me thinking about how I used to hear certain song lyrics.  For example,  the lyric from Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the light" goes like this:

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a duece
another runner in the night

My version:

Blinded by the light
wrapped up like a douche
another rolled up in the night...

Why the hell would someone want to be wrapped up like a douche and rolled?  I don't know, but that is what I heard and  apparently, I wasn't the only person to hear it that way.  kissthisguy.com Has a laundry list of misheard lyrics, and some are downright funny. Some people have misheard CCR's "Born on the Bayou" as "I'm gonna buy you." or another from CCR "Bad moon rising"

Correct lyric:

There's a bad moon on the rise

Misheard:

There's a bathroom on the right.

What lyrics have you misinterpreted??
