Okay, we all know that Mick has never exactly been the King Of Enunciation, especially in the '60s-'80s. To this day, whenever I hear "Paint It Black," I always hear the first line as "I see a rickshaw and I want it painted black." (I had no idea why he wanted to paint a rickshaw black, and when I finally found out the real lyric, it didn't make much of a difference.) This is just one of many Stones lyrics that I went for years mis-hearing until I finally found out the real lyrics.
What are your most frequently mis-heard Stones lyrics?

One of the really first misunderstood lines was from "Satisfaction" about
making the girl pregnant, which shocked a whole lot of people who did
not realize that was NOT what Mick was saying.
I would like to hear more misunderstood Stones songs if this thread should
continue, I bet some are funny cos Mick don't like you said enounciate. |

You were a fuji
a sweet sweet fuji
a sweet sweet fuji but stone stone cold.
Yeah, the studio version sounded a bit confusing for a while. I'm now assuming he's saying 'beauty' instead of 'fuji'. |

My dumb cousin thought Start Me Up was R-E-O?
In Miss You when I was a kid I used to think when Mick was talking about the Puerto Rican chics his buddy was gonna bring over at 12 that were "dyin to meet you".
I used to think Mick said "Flyyyyyyy Torpedo"! Honest

"Streets Of Love". I mis-heard the entire thing and thought it was atrocious, but then I realized... |

Haha! I actually thought the same thing. I also thought he said, "don't you know the jews are still wild" instead of "You know you know the duece is still wild." |

In Casino Boogie, I never know if he says "PROTEST music" or "GROTESQUE music" |

Satisfaction:
Baby Baby come back, baby make sweet, because you see I'm on a new retreat.
I thought that this was the lyric from about the 8th grade until I was 25 or so.
Beast of Burden:
Suck a duck. |

Rocks Off:
"I'm always hearing horses in the street" ?? Don't know why I heard this
and I was also confused by "I was making love last night, with a distant friend of mine", though I'm not sure the dancer makes a lot more sense... |

I also misheard the opening lyrics of SFM...
used to think he said: "everywhere I look around theres martians in the street boys"
and in Stray Cat Blues I thought "it aint no hanging matter" was "there aint no twang in my guitar"

Ok, you want JJF? How about "I was schooled with a strap right across my bag" instead of back? After all, it does rhyme with toothless bearded hag. That would give the song an altogether different connotation. Sorta like Casino Royale.

* I'm slipping through the days that lie in speed

* then parades of grace to the rafters ...
Oh, I could go on and on and on. ... |

Yeah, the Stones have to be the most lyrically misunderstood band of all time. By the way, TBS and CraigP, you're not the only ones who heard "suck a duck." I thought that was the lyric for years! |

baby, baby make sweet I'm on a losing streak. Those are real lyrics I think.
That was the part that somehow got REALLY misunderstood about the
pregnant girl, making some girl pregnant that was it. |
