Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Aerosmith

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Do it just like a lady
The Real Lyrics:
Dude looks like a lady
The Story: As a child of the '90s, the first time I heard this song was in "Mrs. Doubtfire," a movie I watched COUNTLESS times growing up. It made perfect sense to me back than that the words were "Do it just like a lady" because I was watching Robin Williams run around doing everything "like a lady." One day when I was 17, my mom and I were singing along to the radio, and she turned to me and said "WHAT are YOU singing?" and I told her what I thought the words were and she started laughing and said "It's "Dude LOOKS like a lady!" I felt pretty stupid that I had been singing the wrong words for 10 years, but I was incredibly grateful that I hadn't been busted before then! - Submitted by: Anna

I don't want to close my eyes
The Story: Steven Tyler does sing "I don't want to close my eyes" clearly throughout most of the song but there is one bit towards the end where he really gets into the song and really belts out the notes and this is where, for years, I genuinely thought he sang "I don't want to comb my hair".

Lovin' it on Levitra
The Real Lyrics:
Love in an elevator
The Story: I rarely listen to the words of a song (because I usually get them wrong). This song intrigued me, though, partly because of this misheard line and partly because it was such a kickin' tune. I never questioned what I thought I had heard since Steven Tyler was getting up in years and I first heard the tune not long after all the hype over the Levitra commercial. Had the radio anouncer said the name of the song, I would have realized my mistake. This was not the case. I was somewhat embarrased when I walked into work singing this mutated line. My coworkers heard me a started laughing. Fortunately, they thought I was intentionally making a joke of the song. - Submitted by: Todd Sittaro

The Story: I heard about Aerosmith's hit "Love in an Elevator" but no one ever pointed out that that title was the song that was playing so I had no chance to put 2 and 2 together. A few years later someone happened to ask me if I liked "Love in an Elevator" and I said, "I don't know, how does it go?". After hearing them sing it and initially claiming that they were wrong and it was really "Livin' it up live an angel", it hit me like a brick and I quietly walked away. - Submitted by: Timi Zhuo

The Misheard Lyrics:
Sweep the lotion.
The Real Lyrics:
Sweet emotion
The Story: I was listening to this song in the car and my 9 year old daughter asked 'Is he saying 'sweep the lotion?''.

Aerosmith's, "Train Kept A-rollin'"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Ooooh-Stop! Grab a turkey!
The Real Lyrics:
Ooooh-We stopped in Albuquerque!
The Story: A guy I was in Army Basic Training with told me about this one. I don't know the details, just that it caused someone a lot of ridicule and became an unofficial motto for him and his friends. - Submitted by: Nigel
Aerosmith's, "Walk This Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Art Display!
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way
The Story: When I was about 6 or 7 my mom used to put the classic rock station on in the car. This song would periodically come on. I was too young to understand any of the sexual implications of the lyrics at the time, I just thought it was a song about some kids at school. So I thought maybe the song was about how someone had to present their art for an "Art display." - Submitted by: Gabe
Aerosmith's, "Walk This Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Fort Desquain
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way
The Story: I was in forth grade when the song came out and since my older brother liked Aerosmith, I heard it a lot. I have a memory of 4th grade history class and learning about a place called Fort Desquain. I thought 'Walk This Way' was written about this historical place. Present day, I have googled this many times and can find no such place exists. Perhaps Fort Duquesne? - Submitted by: Shorty

Heart display
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way
The Story: I was real young when I heard this song for the 1st time and thought Steve was yelling 'Heart Display' and I figured he had a broken heart and was 'displaying' it for the world to see, I learned the right lyrics thanks to Run DMC and Aerosmith remaking the song!! - Submitted by: kc

The Misheard Lyrics:
Off the slain
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way.
The Story: When I was three I would listen to this in the car with my dad. I thought that in the song they were telling someone to get 'off the slain'. I didn't know what 'slain' meant, but I would still sing the song that way. - Submitted by: Erin G.

Pork and swine
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way.
The Story: A couple of years ago, my family traveled to San Diego, and we changed the station in the car looking for a cool song. Then 'Walk This Way' by Aerosmith came on. My brother never heard it before, and he started singing 'Pork and swine, pork and swine.' - Submitted by: John Joseph A. Gatchalian
Aerosmith's, "Walk This Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
See-saw swingin' with your b***s in the school
Aand your feet flyin' up in the air.
The Real Lyrics:
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air.
The Story: Uh, huh-huh, hey Beavis, he said b***s. I really thought Steven Tyler was singing about his b***s! And to think it is just boys, darn!! - Submitted by: Joe
Aerosmith's, "Walk This Way"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Walk this way, chalk display!
or
Walk this way, stalk in hay.
The Real Lyrics:
Walk this way, talk this way.
The Story: Me, my mom, my little brother, and my cousin were driving to the beach one day three years ago and this song came on. My cousin, who seems to think he knows everything started singing along with it and when it came to the 'Walk this way' part, he belted out, 'Walk this way, chalk display!' Everyone in the car laughed and my little brother said, 'No no no, it's 'walk this way stalk in hay!' We all knew that that one couldn't be right because it made absolutely no sense at all. We went with the 'chalk display'. I guess he figured that because of some of the school references. My cousin couldn't have been more wrong. I looked up the lyrics about six months ago and realized his mistake. He still, to this day, will never live that down. - Submitted by: Brittany Bell

The Story: My friend and I were listening to this song. He asked very calmly, 'You ain't seen nothing till you download a muffin?' I responded, 'Two things. One: this song was out in the 70's. There was no such thing as 'downloading'. And two: download a muffin?!' - Submitted by: Tom M.
