My daughter used to think that "King of the Road" was called "Kanga the Roo"

Tina Turner sang 'let me be be the one you come a-running to'in let's stay together (was it Al Green who did the original?)
I thought she was saying 'Let me be your comaronitoo' - some kind of native american protector or something, I don't know.

when i was in first grade we would sing songs at the beginning of the day and one was "my bonnie lies over the ocean" and i thought bonnie was bunny and i thought someone loved their bunny very much

I used to think that Stacie Orrico's "more to life" went "Theres got to be more to life than just about every temper every high" :-S Wtf does that mean???

Dumbass!!!

i remember "millennium" by robbie williams coming on the radio wen i was with my friends and me singing loudly "with any earth". I don't know where I thought the word "millennium" came in!

In the song "Don't Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys, the original lyric is "She told me baby when you race today. . ." Up until just recently, my mum thought it was "She told me baby when you raise the dead. . ."

Simon Edwards

I would sing out the lyrics to Creedence Clearwater Revival song, Lodi "stuck in Lodi again" as "only the old die young"...until a college friend (after she recovered from laughing) told me the real lyrics. I still have trouble referring to the song correctly!

Remember the song "Safety Dance"? I thought they were saying "we can dance, everybody pull off your pants" instead of "everybody look at your hands". I still like to sing this version! :P

TxTetley

I used to think that the song "White Room" by Creem went "In a white room with black curtains with the devil"

Julia

at primary school me and some friends thought ace of bace's song wnet "i shot the sun" instead of "i saw the sign"

I always hear Manic Street Preachers 'You Love Us' as 'You Love Arse'.

Lou

I was listening to "Motivation Proclamation" and I SWEAR in the beginning the lyrics are "Is Benji lazy and he's crazy" seriously...

my friend belived for so long- and we fell out about it- that the lyrics to destinys child 'bug-a-boo' were
"break my kness so i can't move"
when it is in fact
"break my lease so i can move"
i will never let her forget that!!

When reading this website, I was surprised to learn that David Bowie sings "this mellow-thighed chick" in Suffragette City. I always thought it was, "the smell of fat chicks." I figured that he was acting like he had transcendant sexual senses or something.

whatever

The first few times I heard Lee Ann Womack singing, "I hope you daaaaaance," I thought she had said, "I hope your're deeeaaaad."

nevermind

I always thought the Motels were singing, "Only the lonely, only the lonely get laid" instead of "can play." It didn't make sense to me at all, because how can they be lonely if they're getting laid so much?

Huh?

I had never heard the german version of Oh Christmas Tree (Oh Tanenbaum) until I was 18. I was walking in a dept. store with my brother and we both were positive they were saying "Oh Timebomb". It made no sense for a christmas song but every time they said it we heard timebomb.

for the longest time i thought that the song "lady in red" was "baby and bread".....i was embarrassed when i was singing it and my mother told me the real words! she still teases me about it.

the girl with no name

I used to think that the Queen song contained the line "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard". After years of singing this I was eventually told that the line is "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me". Thanks to everyone who didn't tell me!
