Gina W<p>I was today year's old when I decided to check the lyrics of the song "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" by The Offspring, which came out in 1998. You guys, for 27 FREAKING YEARS I thought they were singing:</p><p>*The world needs the one-eyed beast, ah*<br>*The world loves the one-eyed beast, ah*<br>*Let's get some more one-eyed beast...*</p><p>I thought they were singing about peens. Nope! They were saying "wannabes". See correct lyrics below. Now the song is kind of ruined for me. 😂 </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MisheardLyrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MisheardLyrics</span></a></p>

Jane Lago<p>I have always thought that the lyrics for this song were "pulling mussels for Michelle."

Steam Powered Frisbee 🥏<p>My whole life, I thought the first verse of Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" went: </p><p>I'm a man without conviction<br>I'm a man who doesn't know<br>How to sail the contradictions<br>You come and go</p><p>And I always admired the turn of phrase, "sail the contradictions"! What a nice way to condense the idea of being steadfast and adroit; of not getting tangled in mixed signals and the proverbial small stuff.</p><p>Anyway. I've learned it's "How to sell the contradictions." My version is better. </p><p>(Also, why is the video set in Reconstruction era Mississippi? That's really not the song's vibe.)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXWw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXW</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/misheardlyrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misheardlyrics</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/80s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>80s</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/80smusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>80smusic</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/newwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newwave</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nostalgia</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/cultureclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cultureclub</span></a></p>
