Miss_heard

For the native speakers among us, It might not be a problem to understand texts of songs as they were meant.

But put a little German me and so many of my fellows, it can be really hard to decipher the words of a song.

When radio station in Germany has made it its mission to collect failures in hearing.
All started with, When somebody phoned in and requested the song “Agathe Bauer”.
After much consideration they found out, that the person wanted to hear “I got the power”.

This moment started a Movement collecting all those hearing errors:



Actually, I always interpreted “It’s the final countdown” as “there’s a fire in downtown“

What examples can you tell us for mishearing the text of a song?

English to German
German to English
Or any other languages
