Your Worst Misheard Lyrics!

Rednight wrote: I heard "Tell the moon dog, tell the marcher." Additionally, I heard "He is here" instead of the actual "He is clear" which always seemed a Christ reference in line with the title.

Hawkwind "Robot". Instead of "Automated homunculus" I heard "Automaton, go monkey your loss"

Try searching for the lyrics of We Have Heaven.

Lyrics according to one page: "Tell the Moon-dog, tell the March-hare"
another page: "Tell the moon - don't tell the march hare"
and yet another one: "Tell the moon don't tell the marcher"

During my first few listens of Dream Theater's Moment of Betrayal, I thought one of the first lyrics was "The noise machines last year tonight". I assumed it was wrong, but couldn't think of an alternative, so I just accepted it, despite the fact it made no sense, because prog.

Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name.    I heard ,  "You need a love band aide".

I misheard Jon Anderson singing "Alternate tune" on The Remembering (High the Memory) as "Alter your zoo".

Roots can't hold me, 

One of my favourite German mishearings is "Zombie" by the Cranberries which totally sounds like "Zahnweh" (toothache).

"Horch, wer teilt unser Mitleid" - great, I wasn't aware of that! I think "Hündin" doesn't really sound like "female dog" in German because they pronounce it "oo-ndin" (though it reads exactly like "female dog" in German).

Threshold, Siege of Baghdad: "The mighty cross of Jerusalem" I heard: "The mighty corpse of Jerusalem" If you speak German, you might mishear "Zïss ünt ëtnah" in Magma's Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh as "Siehst du Edna?" (Do you see Edna?)
