Comedically Misheard Lyrics

Thanks to Lea Salonga's crystal-clear diction in her Sydney Opera House concert, I realized I had been hearing this lyric in "Children Will Listen" wrong for years:



What do you leave to your child when you're dead?

Only whatever you put in its head.



I always heard it as:

What do you leave to your child when you're dead?

Only one avenue put in its head.


Just remembering you've had an "and" When you're back to "or" Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

Comedically Misheard Lyrics

From Phantom (though this only applies to the original cast recording, as the lyric has since been rewritten). I spent some time in my youth confused why Raoul was calling Christine a b*tch in "Think of Me." I didn't learn the reality until I got the double CD (not my dubbed cassettes from the library) and could check the lyrics.

Raoul: What a change
You're really not a b*tch
The gawkish girl that once I knew

(The correct lyric was "You're really not a bit")
