I'm so tired I read "Leonardo di Caprio..." and thought: "Mad skillz, bro."

One time, at work, I glanced at the calendar on the fridge and it said "Bully free kids" and my mind went "...FREE kids???" like they were giving kids away for free or something.

Re: Jabber!
There was a song which sounded to me like "Looks like tomatoes" but it really was "Looks like we made it." (Actually, more like "toe-may-tehs.) ;)

I sympathize with that sort of mishearing so hard.

Yiraheerai, I actually have a book of them. It's got a cartoon of Jimi Hendrix on the cover, because in one of his songs (Purple Haze) he sings "Excuse me while I kiss this sky" but some people thought he sang "Excuse me while I kiss this guy." ;)

Re: Jabber!
That one's understandable though. "Looks like tomatoes" vs "looks like we made it" sound nothing alike. That's the sort of thing I was talking about. I do it quite a bit.

Re: Jabber!
@BlairFan: I've seen that book. Back when I constantly misheard lyrics when listening to music on the radio. One example is Def Leppard's Rock of Ages. What I always heard was:
"No serenades
No Pearly Gates
Just the pyre's in the air"
It wasn't until I bought the album that I learned it was actually:
"No serenades
No fire brigade
Just the pyromania"

Re: Jabber!
And now I have that song stuck in my head!
I always thought it was "fire brigades." Well, close enough.

Re: Jabber!
@DA and @Azrael, I hear lyrics in Def Leppard songs that are way off their real lyric often, so I think there's something about their singing.
(Azrael, I bet your favorite DL song is "Nine Lives" ;)

Re: Jabber!
My browser screen gave me a bit of a start when I booted it up today. Right at the top was a big picture of Betty White. Fortunately, it was just an article about her having the Guinness' record for the longest career for a female entertainer on television at 80 years.
