Vol. 07 · Misheard ·1963
"I get high, I get high, I get high."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"I get high, I get high, I get high."
What's actually sung
"I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide." I Want to Hold Your Hand — The Beatles (1963)
Why the ear defaults
Dylan famously misheard this on first listen and assumed the Beatles were openly referencing drugs. The T in "can't" drops out against the following "h."
