Commonly misheard song lyrics!

Just listening to my man Bob Marley recently and remembered there was a particular lyric I thought was hilarious when I was an adolescent.

It sounds like he's saying "Tears in my sperm" at around 2:50 of the following video:

Of course, I know that he's actually saying "tears in my eyes burn" but I just can't get the misheard lyrics from popping into my head 2 decades after first hearing the song.

Other misheard lyrics I can't get out of my head:

- Hendrix's "'scuse me, while I kiss this guy" (from Purple Haze's "'scuse me, while I kiss the sky")

- On Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know," she sings about "the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.” I don't know if it qualifies as a misheard lyric, though, since the original line is "the cross I'd bear that you gave to me” which is phonetically identical, just semantically very different.

Yall remember Bush? Machine Head?

"I got a mushy head"

remember "sail away" being used in "why don't you get a job" by The Offspring

I was once challenged about the Blondie song Rapture. She was adamant that the song said "finger f*c*ng"...of course it does not.

The way Hetfield sings Metallica's "Whiskey in a Jar" sounds like "Whiskey and a Gyro"

"Hetfield Latin" - just add -rrrrro to the end of any word.

Reminds me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe is singing Tiny Dancer and she thinks it says "Hold me close, young Tony Danza."

CCR Badmoon: when they sing "there's a badmoon on the right" it sounds like "there's a bathroom on the right."

Man, that song annoyed me so such as a kid, precisely because I could never figure out what he was saying (remember, this was pre-internet, and the cassette my friend had didn't come with the liner/lyric notes).
