We all hear the things in songs that... don’t quite make sense.

From Selena Gomez's "I'm farting carrots" (I'm on my fourteen carats) to other wacky, crazy lyrics that don't fit in AT ALL, what is YOUR favorite misheard song lyric?

#1

needle in the bread,
gotta get you out of my head
needle in the bread,
gonna wind up dead


Actual lyrics:

needle and the thread,
gotta get you out of my head
needle and the thread,
gonna wind up dead

'stitches' by 'Shawn Mendes'

We actually call any misheard lyrics the “CCS syndrome” because when I was young not only did I hear “pears skating lightning” instead of “earthquakes and lightning” I always thought the name of the group Creedence Clearwater SURVIVAL.
Another bad one from me: I always heard “Nose Bleed” instead of “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt.

Girls like you by maroon 5

Real lyrics
Maybe it’s 6:45
Maybe I’m barely alive
Maybe you’ve taken my s**t for the last time
Maybe I know that I’m drunk
Maybe I know your the one
Maybe I’m thinking it’s better if you drive


But I thought it always said baby
