Your Mondegreens

Oh, whoops.

Our Solemn Hour by Within Temptation

"Santas in speedos. We demons run on solar power"

From the opening theme song for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003):

Actual lyric: "Never fight unless someone else starts"
What I heart it as: "Finish violence someone else starts"

There was this nature show on, that I wasn't paying attention to...

Then I thought I heard the narrator say "flame birds" and immediately looked at the TV screen.

Nope, just "flamingos". Dammit. Flame birds would have been awesome.

You mean the phoenix?

Nah, Talonflame.

Kind of reminds me of a commercial for an aquarium exhibit where I kept thinking they were talking about "Rock Opera penguins" instead of "Rock hopper penguins".

An unskippable ad for Longhorn Steakhouse was playing on You Tube when I misheard "If you like steak, well, lucky you!" as "If you like steak, well, fuck you!"

The mondegreen was so amusing that I decided not to skip it in the future. Also to let You Tube channels get their ad revenue.

Sam's reaction to Gollum describing how he likes to messily eat the food he catches.

What he actually said: You're hopeless.
What I thought he said: You're a wuss.

There was a line in one episode of Wishbone that I misheard in the worst possible way once when I was little:

• Actual Line (said to Wishbone after he was caught digging in a flower garden): "You darn digger!"
• What I heard: "You darn (just guess what letter I'm hiding)igger!"

In hindsight, it's probably a good thing I didn't bring this up with my mom, or I probably would have killed the series considering how...well..."fundie" our family was back then.

I still remember that one time back in school when a teacher called me a "fusspot", and I took offense because I thought she called me a "tosspot".

I'm still unsure if I deserved that detention...

Not the obvious one from Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.” I always heard “Lay me down in sheets of linen” as “Lay me down in cheap, soft linen.”

From Katy Perry's Roar:

• What I heard: I got the eye of the tiger of fire / Dancing through the fire
• What she actually said: I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter / Dancing through the fire

Black Fingernails, Red Wine:

• What I heard: I don't understand the point of fingers
• What they said: All of us stand and point our fingers

Pocket God Fishmas Carol:

• What they said: Happy Hanukkah-conut!
• What I heard: A ton of coconut!

The Botnek remix of Le Castle Vania's Raise the Dead

• What was actually sung: "Raise the Dead"
• What I heard: "Raise your dick"

There is a noise Fox makes in Super Smash Bros. 4 that I always hear as "Dang it!", though I'm not sure if that is supposed to be the case.

Has anyone mentioned the mondegreen of Monsoon's theme yet?

Actual Song Lyric: They called me the Bunny Boy Just to make me cry
What I heard it as: They called me the Bunny Boy Just to make meekrob

Uptown Funk:

• What he said: Make a dragon wanna retire, man
• What I heard: Gonna Dragon Ball my retirement

Not from a song but I thought on Power Rangers Mystic Force when the voice says "Gawlit Mysto Ranger" it was saying "calling mystic ranger" which makes more sense to me

On a toothpaste ad, I just heard "Nervous that whitening will damage your teeth?" as "Nervous that white people damage your teeth?"

From "World So Cold" by 12 Stones:

"And tears you apart just like a sleeping cancer" -> "And tears you apart just like a sleeping kitten"

Wow...

It is very hard for me to listen to Billy Currington's "Don't It" and not hear the title as "doughnut".

I always hear the healing incantation as "flower, clean and glow" instead of "flower, gleam and glow".
