I swear, until I saw the lyrics, it seemed like he said that. Which is wierd cuz there's no such thing as a mountain cat. There are mountain lions, or pumas but not cat. Anyway, did anyone else mishear Wild Honey? Id be relieved to know I wasn't the only one :D
 
:lmao: Heh. lions /are/ cats.

What he actually says is 'I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees'.

I know, I know. When I first heard it a few years ago, I thought he said what I said previously.
 
haha -- you misheard pretty much every bit of that line. :lol: Bono does turn "monkey" into a three-syllable word though, so I can see the confusion "...mo-on-key..."

I think I'd prefer Bono as a wild cat over a monkey :hmm:

Maybe yours has a skip, I only hear two syllables.:wink:
 
That site is absolutely grand. Misheard lyrics are so fun. If you look under the first misheard lyric from ISHFWILF ("I like wine and clear fountains, But I really like lemon peels" for the opening lines :giggle: ), you'll find this:

The embarassing moment of revelation:
Well, I really liked the song, so I was singing it to myself as I walked down the street and someone who had an apartment above the street yelled "That's not how it goes!" and sang the real words for me.
Can you imagine?! :lmao:

I also like that someone there misheard HMTMKMKM in the exact same way that I did:

But they'll want their money back if you're a lying honeybee

:laugh:

Yeah... and my new favorite:
The real lyrics were:
If you walkaway, walkaway
Walkaway, walkaway...i will follow

But I misheard them as:
In your underwear,underwear
Underwear,underwear...i will follow...

ROTFLMAO!! :lmao: :lmao:

Thanks for posting this site :) It's hilarious! :D
 
I never misheard Wild Honey but here are some of my mishearings

I heard Iodine in the sky as well, during Elevation, I thought it sounded better, and then I found out it was "I and I" and I was like, I prefer my version

And I have my own ending of Seconds "They don't know were the dance comes from" my ending is "They don't care but that's just wrong" I prefer mine :reject:

I have more as well
 
I thought that "yeah, just blowing in a breeze" was really

"Edge is blowing in a breeze"

:coocoo:
