In the Walking on Broken Glass song, My brother and I always used to sing "walking on, walking on, walking on broken grass" and run around barefoot in the yard.

In 'You're the One That I Want' out of 'Grease', I always thought they were singing 'Russian love, Russian love for me and you' (ie Nothing left, nothing left for me to do).

And going back a bit further than that, I thought the words to the nursery rhyme were 'Horsey horsey don't you stop. Just let your wheels go clippety clop.' Sad thing is, I was in my twenties and singing it to my niece before I suddenly thought 'hang on, horses don't have wheels do they?' Well, it's not like I sang it all that often in the intervening years..

Up until I was over 30 years old, I believed that in the Eddie Cochrane song 'Drive In Show', he was singing 'Bet my penis to a candy bar, you'll be cuter than a movie star'. It seemed a bit overly racey for the 1950s to me, and I wasn't 100% sure that I was hearing it right. But I couldn't think what else it could be, so assumed I must be right. Until my wife pointed out that if you substitue the word 'peanuts', then it makes a whole lot more sense! ok, I suppose so...

Rob

Cant remember who sang it, but there was a song called 'Poetry in Motion' and I always used to sing 'Oh a tree in motion'

A friend of my brother used to sing 'Old Piano' instead of 'Oh Vienna' (Ultravox - Viena)

JL

i used to listen to the song 'man in the moon' and when the line went 'if you believe there is a man in the moon...' i thought it was 'if you believe there is a man in you room'

Yep I thought the Zephyr song was fly away on my cell phone

At a family sing-along my sister made us all hysterical while singing Kenny Roger's Lucille. Instead of the words '4 hungry children & a crop in the field' she sang '400 children & a crop in the field.' Although she knows the correct words now, she will never live this one down for generations!

Ellie

in the song with the lyrics "take your passion" my sister used to always think it was "take your pants off"

In early elementary school I thought "My Country 'Tis of Thee..." was "My Country Tisafee." I was under the impression that the U.S.A. could be called America or, I guessed, Tisafee. I even told a crush of mine named Tiffany that her named kinda sounded like our country's one morning in class... she gave me a rather puzzled look...

Elliot

In Alannis Morrisette's song "Ironic" instead of "An old man turned ninty-eight" I would sing "The Postman turned and he ate"

When I was 9, my cousin was 8. I had brought my Britney Spears CD to the Thanksgiving gathering that year. I had my headset, and she was listening to "Lucky" on the CD. She was singing along, "And she cries, cries, cries, in the lonely dawn thinking..." I hope she figured out she was wrong.

I'm not sure of the song's title, but my little brother mistook the lyrics: "fifty seven channels and nothing on", for "fifty seven towns and a dozen farms"

Huey Lewis's "Hip to be square" - in 3rd grade I could have SWORN it was "hit the beef square". ????

I used to think that a song 'Venus' by Frankie Avalon said....

"Hey Penis, Oh, Penis
Penis if you will..."

When the song “She's Always a Woman To Me” first came out, I thought the lyrics were “She's a Weasel Woman to Me.” To this day, the image I see when I hear that song is of a weasel being serenaded.

Rebecca Glantz

When I was little, I thought the song that goes "Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married" went "Goin' to the Jack-o-lantern, gonna get married"... Who knows, maybe some people want to get married on Halloween?

Anon

I used to love the song "Hitchin a ride" but I always sang it "ride ride ride, hey Generide" where Generide was a girls name, and they were just saying hey to her

Molly

That Madonna sang "I'm a cheerio girl" instead of material girl
