When Madonna first came out, she had a song called "La Isla Bonita". A section of the lyrics says, "... A young girl with eyes like the desert....". Well, at first, I thought she was saying "with eyes like potatoes" (no...THAT couldn't have been right! How rude was that for Madonna to compare a girl's eyes to potatoes?!) So I listened and listened. Then I thought she was saying "with eyes like two pesos" (THAT made a bit more sense but what do pesos really look like? And do they look good as eyes??) THEN I finally listened and figured out what the proper lyrics were!! Boy, was I a LOSER!! hee hee!

I misheard 'she just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich' in 'Down Under' by Men at Work. Not having heard of Vegemite then I thought it was a 'bitumen sandwich'. I still annoy my husband by deliberately singing this version whenever it comes on the radio.

In The Bee Gees' 'Too Much Heaven' where Barry says 'Ooh you and me girl', I thought for years that he said 'Ooh you nigger' and was quite upset that he had said this and had been allowed to get away with it.

I used to dance around the living room like a maniac to ABBA, using a neon green jumprope for a microphone and singing "dancin' on a mo-nack-a-rock" instead of "does your mother know that you're out." I always wondered what a mo-nack-a-rock was. I figured it was a planet.

i used to think that meatloaf paradise by the dashboard light used to say " aint no doubt about it he was looking gay cos he was barely 17 and he was wearing a dress", when it actually says "aint no doubt about it we were doubtly blessed cos we were only 17 and we were barely dressed.

part of John Mellencamp's song "jack and diane" said, "suckin on a chili dog; the outisde tastes freezed." but i thought he said, "run along, chili dog; your butt is green."

I used to think in Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" The line "A mosquito, my libido!" was "I'm afraid of, Albino!" I sung it out loud like that numerous times.

In the song "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma, I used to wonder what was so wonderful about corn that was as high as an elephants eye. I didn't think that an elephants could have an eye that was more than two inches high.

A friend of mine thought that the Alanis Morsette song "Thank you" whose lyrics go:
"...I want to Thank you Thank you..."
They believed that the lyrics were:
"...I want to vacuum, vacuum..."
after hearing it, they proceed to say "Man this chick sure does like to vacuum"
