I am a chronic mondegreener,. I do it in normal conversation too, not just with songs
Yes yes, “gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul” … A classic one
I’m in my sixties and still don’t care about birds. Conversely, I’ve started to really enjoy killing rats though
Some of those are really funny 🤣
And once you hear it wrong the first time, your brain keeps perceiving it that way every time you hear the song lol
Paradise not parrot eyes, but I always hear parrot eyes 😂
“I swear that I can see forever in your eyes… parrot eyes”
“I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all icicles in my way”
Hahaha that was one of mine too, I mean that song, that line lol… I didn’t have douche but I had a few wacky versions of that line 😂
Hold on to your dreams, there will always be someone telling you that you can’t, telling you to accept reality… Don’t accept it, dream on. Don’t let fear and doubt stop you
Often it just may be a song you hear a lot that’s a bit catchy… It may not be like an artist or genre that you are really into, if it were you’d probably take the time to get into it and not remain with the wrong lyrics for a long time… But it is funny when it happens, and it happens a lot… More than we might think, because when it’s happening to someone they may go years before they realize it’s happening, if they ever realize at all 😅
That’s the point… When you hear it wrong the first time and your brain locks it in that’s what you “hear”, until you finally get it forcibly corrected… It’s perception reality
Excellent stats, only like 13 point something a year
