"Big "Ol Jet Had A Light On" aka Big Ol Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band

My son in law John

Much to my shame I was a Shakin' Stevens fan as a kid, and he had this song called "A Letter to You"..and I spent my childhool wondering what on earth "oh oh you don't know that a tiggarain bar and sent it off in a letter to you" meant, until I heard the song years later and worked out he was in fact singing "oh oh you don't know that I took a rainbow, and sent it off in a letter to you"!!! what a twit....!!!

There's this song by the Animals called "Spill the wine and take that pearl" but because the singer fails to sing intelligably-it always sounded to me like "Do My Tic Tac Toe" and near the end more like "Tickle My Tic Tac Toe" I still can't hear it properly.

Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Since U Been Gone

There was
Preteen Madonna
Waiting for you Ana
There was YouTube
And Blondie
Her music's still on MTV
Her 2 kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause She's still preoccupied

One New Year's Eve, my daughter's boyfriend - Then aged 29 - said "We'll be singing Hold Hands Arc tonight won't we"
She said "what?"
He: "You know, where you all hold your hands up in an arc."
How do you get to 29 years old not knowing Auld Lang Sine

Early this year, when Apologize was repeatedly being played on the radio, I kept on hearing it and singing it as "It's shoelace to 'pologize" And I'd ask what "'pologize" meant to all my friends and they'd give me funny looks. Haha. :P I'd also imagine the music video with a bunch of dancing shoelace. :))

Blah.

In the song "all star" by smashmouth, theres a line which says "she was looking kinda dumb wth her finger and her thumb" till today i thought it was "she was looking kinda dumb with her finger IN her thumb"
that made no sense atall :D

When I was five or six, my brother always used to listen to Guns N' Roses, and in Welcome to the Jungle I thought they were saying:

"Welcome to the jungle, we've got lemonade"

lmao

When I was a child, I thought that Jimmy Buffett blew out his flip-flop stepping on a PopTart; and that he was vainly searching for his "lost Digger the Dog" (a popular toy when I was small).

Sam

I used to think that the Rolling Stones' song that goes "Hey! Hey! You! You! Get off of my cloud!" went "Hey! Hey! You! You! Get off of my clown!" I also thought the song "Who'll stop the rain." was "Who shot the rain?"

My six-year-old brother sings the chorus to McLean's American Pie like this:

"Hi hi this American guy
Drove my buddy to the beddy
But the beddy was dry
Then good old toys
With wiskers and rye
Singing this will be the day I die."

Until yesterday i never knew what the lyrics to 'Scar Tissue' by the Chili Peppers was saying in the chorus.

I looked it up, and I thought "With the birds I'll share this lonely view" was actually saying

"With a blur, a shed is a long live you."

When I was maybe 8...I was addicted to watching CSI with my parents. The lyrics to the opening song are; 'Whooooo are you!? Who, who, who, who!?' However, I was convinced that that they were; 'Gooood morning! Good, good, good, good!' When I sang along to my version....my parents laughed so much :)

Taylor

In the song "Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller Band, there's a line that goes "Don't take me too far away". When I was little I thought it was "Don't take me to my wake". I assumed that he was talking about how he didn't want to die in a plane crash, which made sense. I remember thinking, "But how could you ever attend your OWN WAKE?"

i used to think that The Who song went "let milo open the door..." not my love .. i always wondered who milo was (another pinball wizard???)
