When it comes to music, everyone knows it’s universally true that we always hear lyrics incorrectly on the first (or second) listen. It’s not our faults, sometimes the radio is full of static, or we hear a song we enjoy when we’re out at a bar and it’s really loud, or maybe at a concert, even. Regardless, we learn the lyrics wrong and end up singing the song wrong—forever. How embarrassing, right? Well, the best part of misheard lyrics is when you admit what lyrics you’ve been screwing up and what you’ve been saying instead of the real lyrics.
It's Hashtags time! Tell us about a song lyric you or a friend misheard and tag it with #MisheardLyrics. Could be on the show!

When I was a little girl I was out in the garden innocently singing 🎶 “I’m your Venus… I’m your Penis…. I love you Sire” 🎶 My older Sister corrected me and then told Mom. 🤦♀️ #MisheardLyrics

The first time I went out with my wife, as we danced, she sang: "Hold me close, Italian Dancer." I almost walked out. #MisheardLyrics

As a child I was sure the right lyrics was: "Who you gonna call? (Those bastards!)" #MisheardLyrics
