Did you notice we never got details where he walked the second 500 miles? He may walked in one direction. Then he found out she lives next to him and walked the whole 500 miles back!
This is basically the SpongeBob pizza delivery episode
…oh my God! You’re right
His goal was “just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door” so it’s not impossible he just walked 2000 laps around the block she lives on.
His goals are beyond our understanding
It’s like that scene from A Knights Tale.
“What are you doing?”
“L O S I N G.”
“I don’t understand?!”
“Oh, neither do I.”
Walking to show commitment was the point of the song…
Also, the very next line in Hey There Delilah is “I’d walk to you if I had no other way.”
“Just to be the guy that walked 500 miles”. Not exactly subtle.
“I would nap 1 hour in air travel first class, and I would nap 1 hour more, just to be that guy who napped 2 hours and took a taxi to you door.”
Ah man, you’re right, the post isn’t funny anymore
To be fair, he did say he’d walk to her if he had no other way. However, since there are said planes, trains and cars, he’s just being efficient.
Today I found out it’s ‘Hey there Delilah’ and not ‘Hey dirty lilah’.
So many songs like that, you go through life singing one lyric then one day the illusion is shattered. Like me singing “I can feel it, coming in the yellow night” it had meaning… Then one day what? Coming in the air tonight?
I had the same problem with “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. Instead of “Ladies” I heard “Legs” So it was a song about people losing a leg because they got careless and didn’t show appreciation. So now they are on the look out for new ones.
Once you hear it, it is hard to stop.
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs (All the single legs)
All the single legs
Now put your hands up
Bahahaha
I’m still disappointed about when I found out that one Soul Coughing song wasn’t about con men: “You get the angles, and I’ll get the rest”, but the lyrics were actually “you get the ankles, and I’ll get the wrists”
😂 😂 😂 😂
Not long ago i heard the Theme from one of my favourite Animes as a child and it was just one word I sung wrong but theat one word ruined the song for somehow.
My wife stumbled onto a tiktoker who had this schtick. It was actually pretty funny.
This topic would make a great post
They’re called mondegreens.
Neither of those sound remotely like the version you heard though.
I have a really hard time understanding the lyrics when I listen to songs (maybe because I’m autistic and have some auditory processing issues) so I’m often wildly wrong about them.
That’s the point… When you hear it wrong the first time and your brain locks it in that’s what you “hear”, until you finally get it forcibly corrected… It’s perception reality
I suspect they’ve also just heard the song in the background, and never really actively listened to it.
Often it just may be a song you hear a lot that’s a bit catchy… It may not be like an artist or genre that you are really into, if it were you’d probably take the time to get into it and not remain with the wrong lyrics for a long time… But it is funny when it happens, and it happens a lot… More than we might think, because when it’s happening to someone they may go years before they realize it’s happening, if they ever realize at all 😅

Hey maybe proofread your memes?
The meme economy will not be regulated.
I walked 500 miles once. Took like a month. It’s called the Camino de Santiago
Where in the world is Carmino de Santiago?
Hit it, Rockapella!
Tf is a mile
A kilometer compensating for something.
Fun fact: all the imperial units are now fixed on the SI system. Meaning that their formal definitions use SI units. So it’s literally just SI with extra steps.
Fun fact: the mile was originally defined as 1000 paces.
So he walked 1 million paces?
He only said he would, never said he did
Kilometer Classic
1.6 kilometers. “But I would walk 804.67 kilometers and I would walk 804.67 more…”
I waked for 500 miles on a train, then I went to sleep
Ffs Now I’ve got this song in my head
OOOOHHH IT’S WHAT YOU DO TO MEEEEEE
I don’t understand the problem.
Which one?
