    Ever listened to a song and you thought you heard something funny like the line "there's a bathroom on the right" in a song about the apocalypse? And then you check the lyrics and it actually says: "there's a bad moon on the rise" (song: Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival)?

    Ever had that happen to you? Or did you find a particularly amusing interpretation of a song lyric? Post them below.


    Here's mine from Alice Cooper's Poison:

    I wanna kiss you but your lips are a little bit pointed.

    In actuality:

    I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison.


    I love how this interpretation trivialises the singer's dilemma. He hesitates to kiss her, not because he's stuck in an abusive relationship, but because she has slightly pointy lips.

    "excuse me while I kiss this guy " is a pretty classic one.

    How about this one from Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall?

    "Burn my bread", actual lyric is Burn my dread. It is from a Persona 3 song. That misheard lyric is even a meme, and possibly related to the Aigis toaster meme:
