What Beatles Lyrics Did You Not Realise You'd Misheard?
We all mishear lyrics sometimes and this can make for hilarious alternate song lines that, because of the melody, somehow just seem to make SENSE. We asked you which Beatles lyrics you'd misheard, and here are some of the funniest!
My brother did not mishear the lyrics to “Rain” but since my name is Lorraine, he used to walk around the house singing “When Lorraine comes, they run and hide their heads… they might as well be dead… when Lorraine comes…” Yes, he was a brat!

"Michelle my belle, someday monkey play piano song, play piano song”!
Vincent T. D’Ambrosio
