I thought the fatmann scoop lyrics was fatman scoop rock the planet...well he does when he walks!

I always thought Celine Dion, in"It's All Coming Back to Me Now," sang..."It was more than all your lousy love." Now I realize she sings, "It was more than all your laws allow." I thought she was just rude !!!

Madeleine

I used to think the lyrics to Little Miss can't be wrong by the Spin Doctors was Little Bitch, Little Bitch, Little Bitch can't be wrong. Hey, it still makes sense.

Christin

my brother used to think that Manfred man sung "ha ha Santa Claus" instead of "ha ha said the clown"
quite rude to laugh at Santa, I thought he would find nothing in his stocking ...

My little brother (he's 5) sings the chorus from the Jimmy Eat World song "little biddle in the middle exercise" instead of little girl you're in the middle of the ride."

He will still argue with you if you try to correct it.

I used to sing aloud to to R.E.M.'s song Chorus and the Ring with with the line "that's when the insoles start to stink" - believing that's what it really was. Turns out on a lyrics site it is really "that's when the insults start to sting." At least the insoles don't stink!

Up until about a month ago when we corrected her, my oldest sister (who is now 22) was convinced that the words to Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" was actually "cheap wine and a 3 legged goat". She could never undenstand why anyone would want to sing about 3 legged goats!

Until I was about 7 or 8, I thought the song "Raspberry Beret" was saying "raspberry parade". My brother, who was about 13 or 14, thought the same. So it came on the radio in the car one day, and it came to that line. So we sang, "...she wore a raspberry parade!" and my mom busted out laughing. She told us it was "beret" and asked, "How could you wear a parade?!?" We still laugh about that!

Confused Raspberry

this is really recent. I heard the fatman scoop song 'be faithful' and thought it was saying 'fatman scoop, rock the clam.' the real words, in fact, are 'fatman scoop, crooklyn clan'

delicate shadow

When I was little, I used to think that a line in Wilson Phillips' "Reckless" went "I want to be a horse's breakfast" as opposed to "impulsive, reckless." I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to be a horse's breakfast. Suicide perhaps?

Garth Brooks' "Shameless".... I thought it was "Shavin'".

Don't know who sings it, but my friend thought the funk song "Doin' the Butt" was actually "Do it in the Butt." HUGE difference!

Absent Reasonable Logic

Until we looked up the lyrics, I thought the Les Miserables `little people` said "a fly can fly arond her site..." and I thought allflies were female and were territorial. I was firmly conviced for 2 months

Dutch radio DJ Jeroen van Inkel confessed he used to think it was:

"I got my first real sexdream"
instead of
"I got my first real sixstring"
(Bryan Adams - Summer of '69)

I thought is was sixstream, but hey, I'm dutch!

Jos

When the Eiffel 65 song "Blue Da Ba De" came out I thought they were saying "I'm Blue, if I was green I would die". Pretty dumb, but not as bad as one guy's argument that they were really saying "I'm Blue, I would beat off a guy". Bit of a perv.

Tank

When i first heard the song "Story of a girl" i thought they sang "she stepped in the river and drowned the whole world" lol she must have been fat

Laura

Ok, I feel really stupid now, because, until I read this site, I couldn't figure out what the real words for "Blinded By the Light" were!!! It sounded like "revved up like a duche, another rumor in the night" but I really didn't see how that could POSSIBLY make sense in that song! Oy, I feel like an idiot!

Anon

As a child in the sixties I thought the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" was "A Croupy Kind of Love" because I'd had a croupy cough.

Lee

I used to think the song Dude Looks Like A Lady by Aerosmith said "Do the f***kin' lady" intead of "Dude looks like a lady"

The Embarassed One

I used to believe that the song that goes "put my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry." went "Put machete (big sword thing) through the lady but the lady won't die" My friend started laughing at me when I started singing it one day...

Shizuka

This one belongs to my dear old dad. This occurred years ago, when the group "Fine Young Cannibals" was popular (in the 80's). Anyway, he thought their song "Good Thing" was called "Guilty" and he used to sing "Guilty" really loud while we were in the family van! What a goober!
