"I left my brain down in Africa" or the wonderful world of misheard lyrics


Sometimes understanding lyrics in popular songs is not the simplest thing in the world...not just because english is not my primary language (I do understand spoken english quite well...even if it's been awhile since I practiced speaking), often is because the pronunciation or the song metrics are a little bit messed up (you know, a thousand words per minute can be difficult to understand XD), so it's really easy to mishear lyrics.

Actually sometimes it can be done on purpose just for entertaining and, most of the times, the result is really funny! Here is some examples:


And the list goes on (try to search "Misheard lyrics" on YouTube)...there's also a SITE on the argument, I'm pretty sure that you get the quotation in the website title, if you don't, go and listen some Jimi Hendrix!

P.S.: I know, "O Fortuna" is not an english pop song...but it's really funny!
