Let’s be honest—we’ve all done it. You’re singing your heart out to a song you’ve loved for years when someone turns to you and says: “Wait… what did you just say?” And that’s when it hits you. You’ve been belting the wrong lyrics since middle school, and no one had the heart to correct you.
Don’t worry. You’re in great company. Misheard lyrics, or mondegreens (yes, there’s a word for it!), are a rite of passage for music lovers. And sometimes, the wrong words are just better. Here are 25 of the funniest, most wholesome, and wonderfully bizarre misheard lyrics I’ve come across—along with the real ones, just in case you want to, you know, get it right.
Adele – “Chasing Pavements” Misheard:“Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing penguins?” Actual:“Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?” Penguins. Always more inspiring than sidewalks.
Beyoncé – “Single Ladies” Misheard:“All the single lettuce” Actual:“All the single ladies” A salad-based empowerment anthem? Yes, please.
Bon Jovi – “Living on a Prayer” Misheard:“It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not” Actual:“It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not” Plot twist: It actually might make a difference.
Celine Dion – “My Heart Will Go On” Misheard:“My hot dog goes on and on” Actual:“My heart will go on and on” Titanic, but snackier.
Elton John – “Tiny Dancer” Misheard:“Hold me closer, Tony Danza” Actual:“Hold me closer, tiny dancer” Who’s the boss? You already know.
Eurythmics – “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” Misheard:“Sweet dreams are made of cheese” Actual:“Sweet dreams are made of this” Honestly? Still checks out.
Jimi Hendrix – “Purple Haze” Misheard:“’Scuse me while I kiss this guy” Actual:“’Scuse me while I kiss the sky” Romantic or psychedelic? You decide.
Journey – “Don’t Stop Believin’” Misheard:“Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit” Actual:This one’s real—but Detroiters still debate whether “South Detroit” even exists.
Madonna – “Like a Virgin” Misheard:“Touched for the thirty-first time” Actual:“Touched for the very first time” More accurate, maybe. Less iconic? Definitely.
Maroon 5 – “This Love” Misheard:“This llama has taken its toll on me” Actual:“This love has taken its toll on me” Emotional support llamas are real.
Michael Jackson – “Beat It” Misheard:“Just beat it, beat it, no one wants to feed a fetus” Actual:“Just beat it, beat it, no one wants to be defeated” Suddenly, it’s a very weird PSA.
Nirvana – “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Misheard:“Here we are now, in containers” Actual:“Here we are now, entertain us” Grunge. But make it storage-friendly.
OutKast – “Hey Ya!” Misheard:“Shake it like a Polaroid pitcher” Actual:“Shake it like a Polaroid picture” Both are incorrect. But now it’s a baseball reference.
Paul Young – “Everytime You Go Away” Misheard:“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you” Actual:“You take a piece of me with you” Now we’re hungry and heartbroken.
Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody” Misheard:“Spare him his life from this monstrosity” Actual:Correct as-is! I included this one because no one sings it the same way twice anyway.
R.E.M. – “Losing My Religion” Misheard:“Let’s pee in the corner, let’s pee in the spotlight” Actual:“That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight” Bathroom confusion meets existential crisis.
Rihanna – “We Found Love” Misheard:“We fell in love in a homeless place” Actual:“We found love in a hopeless place” Touching either way, tbh.
Shakira – “Whenever, Wherever” Misheard:“Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don’t confuse them with mountains” Actual:This one is real, and still unmatched in metaphor and modesty.
Starship – “We Built This City” Misheard:“We built this city on sausage rolls” Actual:“We built this city on rock and roll” UK Twitter once made this version a Christmas #1. True story.
Taylor Swift – “Blank Space” Misheard:“Got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll all tell you I’m a goat” Actual:“…they’ll tell you I’m insane” Honestly, same difference.
The Beatles – “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” Misheard:“The girl with colitis goes by” Actual:“The girl with kaleidoscope eyes” I hope she’s feeling better.
The Police – “Message in a Bottle” Misheard:“A year has passed since I broke my nose” Actual:“A year has passed since I wrote my note” Sting, but slapstick.
Toto – “Africa” Misheard:“There’s nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do” Actual:“There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do” Space conquest? Sure. But the rains are still winning.
Van Halen – “Panama” Misheard:“Animal! Animal!” Actual:“Panama! Panama!” Shouted incorrectly in thousands of cars and gyms since 1984.
So next time you catch someone singing “hold me closer, Tony Danza,” just smile and join in. Because sometimes, the wrong lyric is just so right.
If your Monday needed a burst of espresso and joy, this is it. The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet take Sabrina Carpenter’s breezy hit “Espresso” and turn it into a whimsical woodwind wonder. It’s unexpected, it’s delightful, and it proves once again—music has no limits, only possibilities.
On the heels of their successful 2025 40th Anniversary sold-out North American tour that wrapped at Radio City Music Hall in March, GRAMMY-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater are announcing another run of dates in the United States.
As referenced nightly from the stage on the last run, the upcoming tour will be An Evening With Dream Theater that will celebrate the band’s recent chart-topping 16th studio album, Parasomnia. More information on all tickets and VIP packages can be found at https://dreamtheater.net/tour/.

Dream Theater will be performing their latest album in its entirety as well as classics and fan favorites from their catalog in what promises to be an unforgettable evening of music.
An album that was fifteen years in the making, Dream Theater released their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia on February 7, 2025, via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer of “The Shadow Man Incident,” Dream Theater returned with a collection of songs that showcased what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades.
Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums, the Hard Music Albums and Current Rock Albums chart selling over 18,000 combined units the first week. It also debuted at #41 on the Billboard 200 which is notable for a progressive metal band and shows the bands devout fanbase. Parasomnia is a term for disruptive, sleep-related disturbances including sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. The album was produced by Petrucci, engineered by James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin, and mixed by Andy Sneap. Hugh Syme returns once again to lend his creative vision to the cover art.

Fresh off their explosive performance at Welcome To Rockville, metalcore vanguards We Came As Romans have released their brand new single, “no rest for the dreamer,” today. Debuted live in front of a sea of delighted fans this past weekend, the track continues the band’s powerful new era-first introduced by their previously released anthem “Bad Luck” -and further sets the stage for the band’s upcoming Bad Luck World Tour.
The track continues the defiant, emotionally charged new chapter the band kicked off with “Bad Luck”- their first release of 2025- and raises the stakes yet again. Rooted in perseverance, ambition, and the refusal to be broken, “no rest for the dreamer” is a raw and unrelenting anthem for anyone still clawing toward something better.
“This song is for the ones still fighting for their future,” says frontman Dave Stephens. “The ones who can’t sleep because they’re not done yet. It’s about carrying the weight of your past, knowing you’re still not where you want to be-but refusing to stop anyway.”Built on a pummeling riff and one of the band’s most hauntingly melodic choruses to date, the song’s lyrics confront internal trauma, self-doubt, and the compulsion to run straight into the storm: “So why are you standing in the rain? What do you want to wash away?”
The release follows the huge momentum of “Bad Luck”, which launched the band’s new 2025 chapter with a thunderous statement of resilience. With a stacked schedule of touring, festival appearances, and more new music ahead, “no rest for the dreamer” is both a battle cry and a brutal reckoning.
We Came As Romans hit the road this summer for the Bad Luck 2025 World Tour, beginning with a huge North American run on July 22 in Toronto and wrapping August 23 in Detroit, followed by an extensive European/UK leg in the fall. North American support includes After The Burial, Currents, and Johnny Booth, with Brand of Sacrifice joining for Europe.
The band will also appear at major festivals Warped Tour, Inkcarceration and When We Were Young, reinforcing their role as one of heavy music’s most vital live acts.

Enter Shikari have announced the release of their newest “Bootleg Series” of releases, with the unveiling of Bootleg #13, the Live at Wembley album and accompanying full show film, both scheduled for release for 11th July via SO Recordings / Ambush Reality.
Captured live from Wembley Arena on the final stop of the band’s triumphant 2024 UK arena tour, Live at Wembley archives their biggest headline show to date, as they embarked on a fitting victory lap in celebration of the release of their first UK #1 album A Kiss for the Whole World.
The twenty song setlist showcases songs from across the band’s seven studio albums, with songs on the night given live remix treatments, and featuring special guest appearances from Fever 333 / LetLive frontman Jason Aalon Butler and Eurovision star Sam Ryder. The Guardian raved about the tour in their review, saying it “feels like the beginning of Enter Shikari’s greatest chapter.”
It was a show that will live long in the memory of Enter Shikari fans, and be celebrated as one of their greatest ever live performances.
Lead vocalist and producer Rou Reynolds comments: “Our Wembley show last year was one of my favourite in Shikari’s existence thus far. I’m so glad we captured it and can now relive that special evening.
We put a lot of time, energy, and money into the production, and gave our supporters the show they deserved. Despite some technical issues (like losing a couple of cameras’ footage completely!) we hope that the resulting film reflects what an incredible night it was. The swooping drone footage gives people a perspective you don’t often see, and we think our old friend Oleg Rooz on the edit really elevates it above “just another live video”.
Dave Wilkie has excelled himself with the audio. He’s captured the excitement and energy in that arena, which isn’t easy in such a huge space. He was doing the sound for us when we used to play the Milton Keynes Pitz back in the day, and has recorded and mixed a few of our Bootleg Series live albums over the years, so it was great to have him onboard again.”
For the remainder of year Enter Shikari will play European festivals, plus their only UK shows of 2025 on the main stage of Reading / Leeds Festival. In the Autumn they head out on a tour of European countries less frequently visited by the band, including their first headline shows in Spain and Portugal since 2016, before ending the year with a special show at Paris, France’s legendary Batalcan.
The vinyl edition of the album is limited edition of 3000 copies worldwide, with the band’s online store, Germany, North America, Australia and four UK indie stores (Banquet in Kingston, London, Jacaranda in Liverpool, Jumbo in Leeds, Assai in Scotland) all having their own exclusive colour variants.
On Monday evening, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated the opening of its newest exhibition, Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker. The evening included special tribute performances of Parton’s songs “Coat of Many Colors” and “The Seeker” by Alison Krauss & Union Station. Parton concluded the evening with remarks of her own.
The exhibit focuses on turning points throughout Parton’s more than 60-year career where she overcame obstacles and ignored naysayers to become one of the most beloved and widely recognized celebrities across the world. It is open now until September 2026. The museum will hold a variety of programs throughout the life of the exhibit, including public programs and arts and crafts programming for families. Visitors can find more information on the exhibit and upcoming related programming on the museum’s website.
Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker includes clothing, awards, handwritten lyrics, instruments, photographs, exclusive interview footage and more. Examples of displayed items include:
Parton’s first draft of handwritten lyrics to her classic song and #1 country hit “Jolene.”
A custom-built Gibson five-string banjo with a white metallic finish, rhinestone embellishments and butterfly motifs used by Parton at performances in 1992 and on her “Halos & Horns Tour” in 2002.
A cowgirl outfit Parton wore in the 1980 Hollywood film “9 to 5.”
Hand-painted and beaded boots, designed by Bambi Breakstone, which Parton wore at the photoshoot for her 2002 album, Halos & Horns.
The Kennedy Center Honors medallion Parton was presented in 2006 to honor her lifetime of contributions to American culture.
A Tony Chase-designed lace dress, embellished with pearl beading, Parton wore when she performed the R&B classic “I’m a Hog for You Baby” as a duet with the Muppets character Miss Piggy on an episode of Parton’s ABC-TV variety series, “Dolly!,” in 1987.
The Gibson L-30 archtop acoustic guitar, built around 1935 – given to Parton as a gift from her brother Floyd Parton – which she played in the 1991 music video for “Silver and Gold,” from her album Eagle When She Flies.
The dress, with balloon sleeves, chiffon skirt, bugle beading and rhinestone accents Parton wore at a 1978 photoshoot by celebrity photographer Harry Langdon Jr. The likeness of her on a Dolly Parton-themed pinball machine, made by Bally in 1979, was based on one of Langdon’s photos of her in this dress.
Designed for Parton by Lucy Adams, a pantsuit with bell sleeves, bell bottoms and rhinestone-and-bead embellished floral shapes, worn by Parton when she toured with her Traveling Family Band in 1975, and on the cover of Dolly, her 1975 album also known as The Seeker/We Used To.
An illustrated and in-depth exhibit companion book supplements the gallery presentation, featuring historical photographs and artifacts from the exhibit. The book is now available to purchase here or in the museum’s store. It will also be made available in bookstores and online outlets through a distribution partnership with the University of Illinois Press.
An additional display that celebrates Parton’s community of literacy, created through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, is presented in the museum’s Taylor Swift Education Center.
Access to the Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker exhibit is included with museum admission. A limited number of timed tickets for the exhibit are available each day. Advance reservations are encouraged and ticket availability can be found on the museum’s website.
Even among living legends, Dolly Parton’s star shines with unusual brilliance. Her fame casts a wider, brighter light today than at any time in her career of sixty-plus years. The Country Music Hall of Fame member has enjoyed seemingly effortless success as a singer, songwriter, movie and television actor, author, businesswoman, and philanthropist ever since she first hit the record charts in 1967. In truth, however, her achievements required determination to get past those who tried to limit the scale of her dreams.
This exhibition focuses on turning points in Parton’s life and career through the decades, where she overcame obstacles and ignored naysayers to become one of the most beloved and widely recognized celebrities across the world.
Access to the Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker exhibit is included with Museum admission. A limited number of timed tickets for the exhibit are available each day. Advance reservations are encouraged.
Scotty McCreery has the Most Added Song at Country radio this week with his latest release, “Bottle Rockets,” featuring the 2-time GRAMMY-winning Hootie & the Blowfish. The breezy new single garnered 110 radio adds at Country radio upon release – marking McCreery’s second single to achieve the honor following 2024’s “Cab in a Solo.”
“I am thrilled and thankful to country radio for making ‘Bottle Rockets’ the Most Added Song this week,” said McCreery. “It’s a dream come true to sing with Hootie and the Blowfish. They are royalty in the Carolinas where I grew up and ‘Hold My Hand’ has been one of my favorite summer songs since I first heard it as a kid. What a way to start the week before I travel to the UK!”
“It’s quite a thrill to have a cherished, old song of ours take flight again,” shares Hootie’s Jim Sonefeld. “Even more special to have a Carolina guy like Scotty reshaping it in such a beautiful way.”
Hootie & the Blowfish re-recorded “Hold My Hand” this spring just for McCreery’s “Bottle Rockets.” (The original version of “Hold My Hand” is on their RIAA 22x-Platinum Cracked Rear View). The track was co-written by McCreery, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, Frank Rogers, Bobby Hamrick, Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim Sonefeld, and produced by Rogers.
Metalcore titans ATTACK ATTACK! are hitting the road this fall for their latest headlining run, the “One Hit Wonder Tour”, bringing their chaotic new era to cities across the U.S. in celebration of their upcoming record, “Attack Attack! II”, set for release on August 8, 2025 via Oxide Records. Fans can purchase tickets to the “One Hit Wonder” tour on Friday, May 23.
Today’s announcement follows the release of two massive new singles, “Dance!” featuring Will Ramos of Lorna Shore and “Chainless”. After blindsiding fans with a fake-out country remix, the real version of “Dance!” delivers sheer chaos and pit-stirring aggression as they teamed up with one of deathcore’s most recognizable voices, Will Ramos, for their first ever official feature. On the other hand, “Chainless” offers a powerful, anthemic counterbalance that’s wrapped in explosive riffs with unshakable momentum.
Coming off a successful appearance at Welcome To Rockville, the announcement of their first full-length record since 2012, and their ongoing Roadside Rumble Tour, ATTACK ATTACK! are ready to shift into high gear: “We’re elated to announce our first full US tour in over 12 years and you can expect our most ferocious set-list we’ve ever performed.”
The band states: “We’re elated to announce our first full U.S. tour in over 12 years and you can expect our most ferocious setlist we’ve ever performed.”
Formed in 2007, ATTACK ATTACK! has become a staple in the metalcore scene, amassing over 100 million streams across major streaming platforms on multiple chart-topping records. As torchbearers of the genre, the band continue to push the boundaries of metalcore while solidifying their place in its ever-growing legacy. Known for their no-holds-barred approach, ATTACK ATTACK! remain unpredictable as ever, with more bold twists in store for the year ahead.
If you went to Warped Tour in the mid 2000s, shopped at Hot Topic, or were active on MySpace, then you have heard the name ATTACK ATTACK! While the band’s early career was relatively short-lived, their reputation has done nothing but grow since the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2013. Known for incorporating dance/electronica music with metal, the band consistently bent the rules of songwriting. They took the sounds they liked and crafted seemingly incompatible genres into anthems for local Ohio scene kids, and later, audiences across the globe. After years of silence, ATTACK ATTACK! exploded back on to the scene in 2020. They’re here to remind you that rules are made to be broken, adversity is meant to be overcome, and that legends never die.

Jerry Cantrell, whose widely praised new album I Want Blood arrived late last year, has announced a new round of U.S. tour dates, kicking off on August 16 in San Diego.
I Want Blood showcases the legendary guitarist and vocalist at his most raw and resolute, blending brooding melodies with searing guitar work and introspective lyricism. The album has received widespread acclaim with the Los Angeles Times praising its “heavy, nuanced songs,” while Kerrang! calling it a “thunderous solo album that you can file alongside his best work.” Revolver, in their cover story on the iconic musician, saying the collection “delivers weighty, slippery riff and the kind of memorable rock hooks he’s been creating since the earliest days of Alice in Chains.”
Tickets for the four-week outing, which finds Cantrell joined once again by Filter, are on-sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. VIP and upgraded ticket bundles will also be available via jerrycantrell.com/tour.
The album is available on CD, digitally, and in multiple 2LP vinyl variants. A deluxe spoken-word edition featuring narration by Cantrell and contributions from producer Joe Barresi, engineer Maxwell Urasky, Greg Puciato, Roy Mayorga, Gil Sharone, Rani Sharone, George Adrian, Vincent Jones, and Michael Rozon is also available both on vinyl and digital platforms.
Cantrell’s previous solo album, “Brighten”, came out in October 2021. The LP was Jerry’s first project without Alice in Chains in 19 years.
Jerry’s career outside of Alice in Chains has consisted of two other solo albums and contributions to major film soundtracks. Cantrell’s first solo album, “Boggy Depot”, was released in 1998, followed by his second album, “Degradation Trip”. In addition to his solo artist work, Jerry has released music on soundtracks for several films, including “Spider-Man”, “The Cable Guy”, “John Wick 2”, “Last Action Hero” and “The Punisher”.
