I was listening to this again a few days ago
https://youtu.be/WK7DGwCqH6k?si=hoiG4uJDi0dQN1N2
and I can still only hear the chorus as "Hello Babyman", perhaps a greeting someone (maybe a member of Clawfinger) might say to Trump
A mate of mine told me a hilarious story about being at a gig some.years ago (possibly Bon Jovi?) where a cover of "The Boys are Back in Town" was aired, and a woman stood near him was belting it out to the chorus..except she thought it was "We're frozen back in time" :laugh:
Maybe she was an Obituary fan.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I swear that the first line of For Whom The Bell Tolls is "minkers fight on the hill in the early days".
On Machine Head - A Thousand Lies where he sings "fed up of this whole system, it's gone on for too long" it sounds like he's singing "fed up of this horses dong..."
Slough Feg, "I am a space parrot, you know my name"
For years I thought Axl was saying " I'll have another cigarette cos I can't sing " on Paradise City.
The evil Kathmandu. I used to think he was singing about a mysterious eastern wizard.
"Can I play with madness, the perfect steed at the Christmas ball"
Thought for ages Mastodon's Oblivion went
"Leaving you behind with this awesome song".
Admired the confidence to be honest.
An old one, Necros Christos - Hathor of Dendera sounds like Hater of Pantera
"this ain't no Crystal Rodgers neighbourhood"...so sang Mike Muir on You Can't Bring Me Down or at least I thought so for many years. Had no idea who Crystal Rodgers was, nor indeed had I any clue who Mr. Rodgers was for that matter.
Sheemo, the mysterious whale by U2 :abbath:

I thought this as well actually.
Not mine, but a favourite I've heard is people mishearing the chorus of Deicide's "Dead by Dawn" as "PET MY DOG"
The title to Crowbar's "All I Had I Gave" sounding far too like "Motorhead are gay" in the song itself.

And the song title itself didn't set off any alarm bells?
My sister loved skid Row's 18 & Life back when it was in the charts.
But she kept sing, "Ain't seen a life"... even though she knew the name of the song.
Fucking stupid, like!
1st line in Incarnated Solvent Abuse by Carcass: "Yes I'm delicious, yes I'm sexy."
Chorus for Traitors by Misery Index: "SHITE ARSE!"

The penny may have dropped alright had I known the song title at that age of 9 or 10.
Metallica's fuel starts with turn on I see red but it sounds like "turd on icy rail",you won't unhear that every time you listen to it

Definitely thought the chorus (which crops up at 27 seconds in for the first time) was just him going "ooooh and aaaaah!" for an embarassingly long time before reading the lyrics and realising he's saying "oaken heart"
Is Bolzer still a thing incidentally?

Fully cogniscent of that Iron Maiden's song is called "Fear of the Dark", doesn't stop me hearing "fear of the duck" every time.
Bölzer recently finished recording a new album.

Always sounded like Gimme foo, gimme fah, gimme dah bee dah bee dah to me
I always thought Varg was singing "I wonder why life must be a life that lasts in Germany" in Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament.
Opening line of "Gum, meet Mother" by Virus: "Ya, I've a farmer's tan"
Fist few times I heard Manowar - Manowar I thought he sang "So we call on Protestants" in the second verse.
Always thought it was 'I'm thinking of good vibrations' turns out it's 'picking up...'
"My lovers got no money, he's got his trumba leaves"
I thought it was a trombeleese.
:laugh:, neither of which make the remotest bit of sense.
Jesus lad, how have you gotten this far in life without a trombeleese? I'd be lost without mine.
Strong beliefs?
Aye.
Not so much a misheard lyric as opposed to a "never copped what the fuck he was saying" but in Def Leppard - Rocket, I wad probably an adult by the time I realised he was singing "Satellite Of Love"
Even going to see them live, I was happy to sing "Rocket. Yeah. La na na na na"
In fairness Joe Elliott has a knack of being an English man, singing in English that is hard to understand most of the time.

Yeah! I'm with you on this one.
had no clue what the fuck he was saying for that line... until 2mins ago :laugh: .
I always sang it as 'Rocket Yeah, Say in the name of love', Probably too late too change now!
The end of Fear FActory's "Body Hammer" - "I am a DUUUUUUUUUUUCK"
Got reminded of this one the other day while spinning some old Ozzy.
"Miracle Man... No bullshit"
Sang this away to myself for years.
A lad I used to live with had Paranoid on one day he starts singing the chorus "can you help me, thought you were my friend"?
We later fell out over some money he owes me. The signs were there!!
Running Wild - Slavery
"CELERY...the bane of the sea!
CELERY...and humanity!"
