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!).

Aerosmith's, "Big Ten Inch Record"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Revving up the big jet engines
The Real Lyrics:
When I whip out my big ten inch
The Story: My brothers played in a cover band and sometimes played this song. My mother kept asking me if I knew the Aerosmith song 'Revving up the big jet engines.' I think this went on for a year at least before I figured out what she meant. We still mock her for it. - Submitted by: cupcakejones
Aerosmith's, "Crazy"
The Misheard Lyrics:
You drive me crazy, crazy,
Crazy, f**k you, baby
Crazy, f**k you, baby
The Real Lyrics:
You drive me crazy, crazy,
Crazy, for you baby
Crazy, for you baby
The Story: I was about 7 or 8 when this song first came out, and when I first heard this particular lyric, I got all excited and thought that they could say 'f**k' on the radio. So one day, when the video was on mtv, I shouted out, 'Crazy, F**K you, baby!'. My mom came in the room and I then got a smack and was told the real lyrics after I explained why. I swear to this day, though, every time I hear the song, I clearly hear the F-word. - Submitted by: The Desert of the Real
Aerosmith's, "Cryin'"
The Misheard Lyrics:
'Cause me and them where's that body
The Real Lyrics:
'Cause me and them ways have parted
The Story: This lyric did not make grammatical sense to me until a high school friend told me it was 'ways have parted' and not 'where's that body' He insulted me by saying that the lyric was easy to figure out just by listening, but I personally believe that he read the lyrics from the liner notes printed on the inside of the cd cover. - Submitted by: Marco

The Real Lyrics:

The Story: My niece is known to get the lyrics of songs wrong. She gets it from my sister, her mother. Apparently there is a car commercial out that uses 'Dream On' as their ad helper. My niece hears it and starts singing the same part over and over. I asked he what the heck are you singing and she starts again. I tell her it is 'Dream on' not 'dream along'. She she's no it is 'Dream along'. Then I asked, 'Okay, what the heck does it mean?' 'I don't know it is just a song!', she answered. She's 10. A couple of years ago she thought the American Pie song had the lyric 'Drove my Chevy to the lemmie.' Always interesteing talking to her. - Submitted by: Dean

Aerosmith's, "Love In An Elevator"
The Misheard Lyrics:
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

Feet in motion
The Real Lyrics:

The Misheard Lyrics:
Sweep the lotion.
The Real Lyrics:
Sweet emotion

The Real Lyrics:

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

Walk this way, chalk display!
or

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
