Apparently Sweet Dreams can be made of cheese? Or we could just go with the actual lyrics.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
“Dancing Queen, Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah” is the way the song goes. However, some seem to have fruit on their minds.
“Dancing queen, Feel the beat from the tangerine, oh yeah”
“I’ll never be your beast of burden, My back is broad but it’s a-hurting”
However, perhaps some were in the mood for a snack and well .. “I’ll never leave your Pizza burnin’ , My back is broad but it’s a-hurting”.
In the song Pink sings “Just give me a reason, just a little bit’s enough”
Some apparently hear this “Just give me a raisin, just a little bit’s enough”
Hungry for more?
“Oh don’t lean on me man, Cause you ain’t got time to check it”
“Oh don’t lean on me man, Cause you ain’t got time for Chicken“
Ok, maybe just some rice then.
Classic song, classic words by The Beatles, right?
Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
How is it some seem to hear I want to hold your HAM??
We all know this song by The Killers, right. “Mr. Brightside”. The outro of the song repeats the word “I never”, and there is some variation in the pronunciation just a little perhaps but “Paella”? Now we’re back to chicken and rice.
Folks I am not the cook, just the server, and “I’m here all week”…

Another fun installment of your series! While I can’t really hear it, I love “I want to hold your ham” and “Sweet dreams are made of cheese.” 🙂
Also, “Oh don’t lean on me man, Cause you ain’t got time for Chicken.” That one I can see better.

I agree with the latter statement, it’s funny that people may actually hang on to that rather than think hmm that makes no sense!

Those misheard lyrics are silly, as they make no sense. But here’s a lyric I misheard on the recent twenty one pilots’ hit “Overcompensate”: I thought Tyler Joseph was singing “…by the time I cash in my peripheral…”, when he’s really singing “…by the time I catch, in my peripheral…”. Now that’s an honest mistake, as “cash in my peripheral” at least makes a little sense, unlike “Sweet Dreams are made of cheese…”.

You’re mind is too methodical to get caught up in such culinary tomfoolery! I can see how you would be a little cheesed…

Sadly true, I’m afraid. Being a Virgo, I’m just too nitpicky and critical for my my own good. But rest assured, your excellent writing and clever wit do not go unnoticed!

The Rolling Stones are the last word on/ Songs the lyrics are misheard on.
Mick is NOT the most succinct of vocalists, but then neither are the boys in the backing band. ‘Star Star’ doesn’t sound anything close to what’s in the official lyric sheet.

I never really gave much thought to the Stones ‘Beast of Burden’ lyrics but I would have guessed it went ‘my back is broke, and it’s a hurtin'”.
