Misheard lyrics
I know there are loads of forums about this in various places on the Internet, but I thought one here would be good. For instance, the first time I have heard AC/DC's Highway to Hell, I thought the second line of the song was:
"Livin' easy, livin' free. Sees a n****r on a one-way ride "*
It wasn't until years later when I looked up the lyrics online, that I realised the word which it may be so uncomfortable every time I heard it wasn't there at all, and the line is:
"Livin' easy, livin' free. Season-ticket on a one-way ride"!
Because he doesn't pronounce the T or K in 'ticket' particularly clearly, I thought he said something very different and, although I know the real lyric, I can't listen to the song without hearing it the way I heard it first, as if the misheard line has been hardwired into my brain! I've told us to several people and, when listening to the song, they completely understand.
*I've self censored the word in question because it can be very offensive. I hope people understand what I mean
