The Archives of Misheard Lyrics

The pool has long been sitting on a big old secret of mine. I appreciate that they have never shared my secret. Really, thanks guys. But I'm ready to come clean on my own, I'm ready to take the leap, so here goes.

There's something wrong with the way I hear music lyrics. More often that not, it seems that I've never heard music lyrics quite right. Often, I learn this the hard way, i.e. I'm in the midst of passionately singing a song and I open my eyes to find people looking at me and laughing, because I've sung the wrong words. Time and time again, people, it happens time and time again.

Today, I've found that I'm not alone. I'M NOT ALONE! There's an entire website called "The Archive of Misheard Lyrics" devoted to people just like me, those of us who "mishear" lyrics. Some of my top misheard lyrics can be found on this site:

Irene Cara's What a Feeling: the real lyrics are "take your passion, and make it happen" while I heard "take your pants down, and make it happen." Come on, that makes sense!

Commodores Brick House: the real lyrics are "She's a brick house. She's mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out," while I heard "I'm going to break, oooouuuutttt."

And the list goes on and on...so carpool, you don't have to protect me anymore. We can just let it all hang out.
