I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing

My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse

Turns out it was “strong beliefs”, and not a medical term

    I always thought Gala said Stromboli (he’s got his Stromboli…) which would make half sense since she is italian

    Crosby, Stills, and Nash - Southern Cross

    “Who knows love can endure” --> “Who knows love Ganondorf”

    Obviously not the correct lyric but they clearly end “endure” with an F sound somehow

    Elton John - Your Song

    I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
    That I put down in the words
    How wonderful life is
    While you’re in the world

    I misheard the “world” as “woods”, as in, someplace far away, which changes the entire point of the song. The lyrics in this part starting with “I hope you don’t mind that I put down in the words” imply a change of tone to something regretful, so a line to recontextualize that that the PoV character doesn’t actually feel close to their supposed love would fit; but I guess that wasn’t the intention.

    “Blinded by the light.

    Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”

    Turns out is actually deuce.

    I always heard it as trombeleese, which I imagined to be some exotic musical instrument like this:

      You’re not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.

      And when I learned about “dunder” or “double underscore” methods in Python, my first thoughts were:
