Sometimes, kid's get murdered for their pants. (misheard lyrics question)

Asked by mowens (8403points) July 5th, 2012

First, listen to this.

So, a long time ago I heard the song “ends” by Everlast. In the song, they say a lot of things… the chorus says “Sometimes kids get murdered for their ends.”

For the longest time, I thought they said “Sometimes kids get murdered for their pants.”

Every time they say ends in the song… I thought it was pants.

This is funny for 2 reasons.

1. It makes me look stupid.
2. One of my first roommates in college got his pants stolen at the Gym, shortly after I heard this song for the first time. I of course referenced this song, and he has made fun of me for years over it.

My question:

Do you have any similar stories? What are your misheard lyrics or song misunderstandings?
