U2 lyrics you sing wrong
Probably not the correct subject title for this but I was listening to U2 yesterday - my 1 year old is obsessed with Vertigo.
And when it comes to the middle solo and Bono sings 'check mated, hours of fun', for some reason, I don't hear 'hours of fun'...I hear 'Shazzafaw!' Made my son laugh like a maniac so I spent the rest of the night saying 'Shazzafaw!'... Anybody else have a lyric they hear wrong and sing that way?

Somehow when I listen to Pride I always hear: "in the name of love WHAT more in the name of love" instead of "one more".
Also to me the chorus of I Will Follow sounds: "WHAT YOU'RE EVER DOING WHAT YOU'RE EVER DOING." |

^ I thought it was "one more" for about the first 20 years or so, until I figured out it is "what more"

x 100,000"Shazzafaw" is exactly what "hours of fun" sounded like to me, too! That's hilarious! I can't stop giggling about that. I might have to start saying "shazzafaw" at random times, just for shits and grins.

I don't sing this wrong, but ever since someone in interland pointed out that this line in COBL:
"what happened to the beauty inside of me?" sounds an awful like B is saying "what happened to the beaty in sodomy", I can't help but think of that every time I hear the song.

In OOTS, ever since I saw someone's homemade vid, now I sing "that's a frog" before all the do dos.

I always sing wrong a crucial lyric in One.
"Well we hurt each other and we'll do it again." I always thought he said a muffled "carried" again. I always sing it that way. Even though it's wrong. Even though it makes no sense. Even though it changes a lot of the meaning of that section. I'm bad.
