The Ballad of John & Yoko:
Misheard lyrics: You can get married and you probably faint
Actual lyrics: You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain

i like the misheard one better for some reason.

Quoted from Mairi

Wow I thought the lyrics were "Silly people standing there"!

With a Little Help From My Friends- Misheard Lyrics: Give me cheese
                                                 Actual lyrics: Billy Shears

hahaha, last night i was randomly listening to this & i remembered what u said...it makes good sense if u don't know the real lyric!  

'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds'

"The girl with colitis goes by"

-'The girl with kaleidescope eyes'.

Quoted from lennonlemon

this is the thread where we can share our past experiences of "mishearing" beatles lyrics without being embarrased.

It would work best if you post the name the song, the misheard lyrics, and the actual lyrics.

I'll start:

Can't Buy Me Love- Misheard Lyrics: It's puppy love
                           Actual Lyrics: Can't Buy Me Love

I Want to Hold Your Hand- Misheard Lyrics: I get high

I get high, actual lyrics - I can't hide.

Mine was with Old Brown Shoe. I thought he said he wanted a girl who sometimes works twice as long.

What he actually said was: "I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long."

I thought he said chews coca cola instead of shoots coca cola on Come Together. Hell, I like my missheard lyrics on that one better. Go chew some cola dude

From the Sgt Pepper reprise:
Sergeant Pepper's one and only Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's getting very near the end

And I always heard: It's getting better near the end


And from She's Leaving Home:
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

I heard: Father snores as his wife gets into a dressing girl. Whatever that may be.

Not quite the same, but for years I thought the line from the Stones Paint it Black was "I see a reptile and I want it painted black."

come together -

hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

ACTUALLY

hold you in his arms yeah you can feel his disease

Quoted from lennonlemon

Can't Buy Me Love- Misheard Lyrics: It's puppy love
                           Actual Lyrics: Can't Buy Me Love

That's so funny! My friend thought it was called Puppy Love.  She's like, "One song I hear too much is Puppy Love," and I had no idea what she was talking about until she sang that part out.

In I Am The Walrus, does anybody hear:

"Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain."?  

The most famous misheard lyric was bob dylan on I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
I CANT HIDE
BOB`S  I GET HIGH , had dylan thinking THE BEATLES were all pot heads .

I guess most of you have heard that before .

Quoted from raxo

That IS the lyric though. Isn't it?

Quoted from Kevin

Not quite the same, but for years I thought the line from the Stones Paint it Black was "I see a reptile and I want it painted black."

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

Somebody once told me to imagine them singing "There's a bathroom on the right" instead of "There's a bad moon on the rise".

Now every time I hear that song, that's what it sounds like.

Quoted from mr kite

Never ... until I read it somewhere
