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
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
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?
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.
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”
😂 😂 😂 😂
My wife stumbled onto a tiktoker who had this schtick. It was actually pretty funny.
This topic would make a great post

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
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?
