Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

A 13 year old me;

"Sodomy, Fellatio, Cunnilingus, They're so nasty. Father why do these words sound so nasty? Mass Starvation can be fun, join the holy orgy, come on Sutra and everyone!"
Those Blocked: SueStorm. N2N Nate. Good riddence to stupid! Rad-Z, shill begone!

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

I can never understand the words in beginning of "The Soul of a Man" in Kinky Boots until I searched it up. It was because of the rough accent. "I'm bad news, a black and blues-er
Who's a loser".. maybe it was just me. It's funny how I thought he added "er" in the end of "news".. it kind of sounds like he does.

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

I read somewhere once that someone thought "just a little touch of star quality" was "just a little touch of strawberry tea" there with other mis heard versions of that lyric but I don't remember them unfortunately.

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

On the original "Sunday in the Park..." recording, I always thought that the lyric in "It's Hot Up Here" went:
Jules: "Do you like tall grass?" Frieda: "Ah-CHOO!"
Actually:
Frieda: "Hah!" Yvonne: "JULES!"

In "I'm Still Here":
"I've been through Reno, rescuers, religion and pills..."
Actually: "rest cures"

In "Annie," having never heard of "a Mickey Finn," I thought the orphans sang, "Make her drink up icky gin." And though I knew it wasn't right (because of the title) I will still sing, "We're Getting A Nude Eel for Christmas"

"What- and quit show business?" - the guy shoveling elephant shit at the circus.

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

For the song "The Wizard and I" in Wicked, I always thought she was singing, "Would it be all right by you if I be greeted by you?" instead of what it really was "if I de-greenify you?" Although to be fair, unless you know the musical very well, that word made no sense.

Sorry if someone else posted the same thing, I don't have time to go back and read all the comments!

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

I became obsessed with A Chorus Line when I was a teen, and I always thought during the Montage that Paul said "What am I gonna say when he cums on me?" which, although inappropriate, made sense since Paul is gay and they were all reminiscing about moments from their teenage years. I've always been a little disappointed ever since I learned he actually said "calls on me."
"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."

Misheard Lyrics That Have Left You Puzzled

It didn't puzzle me...

But, in Bonnie & Clyde, the song "You are going back to jail" there is a line where one of the women describing the difference between her lover and her husband .

"He has things that my Joe lacks, like teeth, and hair, and cash to be exact"

I heard:
"He has things that my Joe lacks, like teeth, and hair, and tats as big as cats"

Which made perfect sense to me. I have heard it on stage twice and can still convince myself that is the line with different women singing.
