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.

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...

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!

I used to think in the song Hotel California, it was 'We are programmed to deceive', as well as 'She got the Mercedes Benz instead of "bends" (which is the correct term).

When my sister and I were younger we believed the Paul Young song "Everytime you go away" was saying "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of *meat* with you." When our mom found out what we were singing and tried to correct us, we argued with her that ours was right because it made more sense...how can you take a piece of someone with you? The idea was disgusting to us and even if she were taking a piece of him with her, it would technically still be a piece of meat. Our mom didn't think that was very funny and would get mad at us every time we sang the song the wrong way.

I used to think that in the Gin blossoms song that went " Found out about you" they were saying ' oksona bayool"
like the figure skater

When I was young, I always thought the Bangles song 'walk like an Eygptian' was 'walk like a midget' my aunt actually explained it when I was doing the dance and singing it, I still get teased about that.

I used to think that the lyrics "lets go round again" by Louise from Eternal were actually "leets go round the bend"

I used to think that the song Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours was Sky's still the limit oh yeah! but, my sister corrected me.

mein popo ist nett

when I was younger i thought in "Blinded by the light"
said
"wrapped up like a dutchman of the rotor in the night",
instead of "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

My mum used to think 'I Believe In Miracles (Hot Chocolate) was: 'I believe in MERKELS' up until The Full Monty soundtrack a few years ago...

Andy

In the song "American Pie" I'm sure you know it, there is a part in the song where they sing "they were dancing in the gym" and my mother used to think they were saying "chin-to-chin" instead of "in the gym." And this was recently!!!

I thought Queen's song 'Bohemium Rhapsody' went: I see a little cigarette on a man.

Clare, Ireland

I used to think the line, 'and pretend that he is Parson Brown' in 'Winter wonderland' went, and pretend that he is parsnips now.

When I was younger, my parents used to listen to the german group Kraftwerk. The song "Autobahn" went "Fahren, fahren, fahren an der Autobahn." I was told not to use swearwords, and was really shocked when they listened to this song! I thougt they were singing "Faen, faen, faen on the Autobahn."

-Faen is a norwegian word you can translate to something like "damn", "fuck it", or "hell"...

Sita

J.L.M.

you know the song "drift away" the old version, well when i was little we always listened to the oldies and when it said "give me the beat boys to free my soul" i always thought they said "give me the beach boys" I always thought the guy who sang that song really really liked the beach boys! ha ha, just until about a month ago i realized what they really said.

A friend of mine told me the children in "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd were making fun and singing "all in all you're just a-nother prick in the hole"... I'm still not convinced this is wrong!
