So many songs like that, you go through life singing one lyric then one day the illusion is shattered. Like me singing “I can feel it, coming in the yellow night” it had meaning… Then one day what? Coming in the air tonight?
I had the same problem with “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. Instead of “Ladies” I heard “Legs” So it was a song about people losing a leg because they got careless and didn’t show appreciation. So now they are on the look out for new ones.
Not long ago i heard the Theme from one of my favourite Animes as a child and it was just one word I sung wrong but theat one word ruined the song for somehow.
I’m still disappointed about when I found out that one Soul Coughing song wasn’t about con men: “You get the angles, and I’ll get the rest”, but the lyrics were actually “you get the ankles, and I’ll get the wrists”
I have a really hard time understanding the lyrics when I listen to songs (maybe because I’m autistic and have some auditory processing issues) so I’m often wildly wrong about them.
That’s the point… When you hear it wrong the first time and your brain locks it in that’s what you “hear”, until you finally get it forcibly corrected… It’s perception reality
Often it just may be a song you hear a lot that’s a bit catchy… It may not be like an artist or genre that you are really into, if it were you’d probably take the time to get into it and not remain with the wrong lyrics for a long time… But it is funny when it happens, and it happens a lot… More than we might think, because when it’s happening to someone they may go years before they realize it’s happening, if they ever realize at all 😅

Once you hear it, it is hard to stop.
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs
Now put your hands up
Bahahaha

My wife stumbled onto a tiktoker who had this schtick. It was actually pretty funny.
This topic would make a great post

Neither of those sound remotely like the version you heard though.

I suspect they’ve also just heard the song in the background, and never really actively listened to it.
