the other day my boyfriend and his friend were in the car and we heard the Who's Eminence front and when it goes : Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on. My boyfriend and his friend started singing : "from behind ram it in the butt." They both have always thought the words said that...now we sing it like that

I used to believe that the text in "Blue Da ba dee" by Eiffel 65 went: I´m Blue, in Aberdeen I will die, in Aberdeen I will die, in Aberdeen I will die... ;) How stupid!

My mom, her friends, and I were talking one day about how songs paint a picture in your head. We were listening to an oldies station and a song came on that goes "As I write this letter I send my love to you..." and my mom asked me what picture came into my head. I replyed a cowboy riding into the sunset. I had no clue why she looked so confused until she asked me to sing what I just heard: "As I ride the saddel I send my love to you..."
She still pickes on me about that

I thought the elvis song that goes "Return to Sender address unknown" was "Return September...." I always wondered what september's address was!!

Similarly to another post here, I thought the lyrics to Madonna's 'Erotic' were 'hey Ronnie, hey Ronnie, put your hands all over my body'. I didn't realise until a couple of years ago what they actually were (I'm 17 now).

When I was little I used to think that the Sheena Easton song "Morning Train" went like this: "My baby takes the morning drink, he works from 9 to 5 and then, he takes another home again to find me waiting for him . . . " My parents used to die laughing as I strolled around the house singing at the top of my lungs. I always took offense, never knowing why it was so funny.

Remember the Aerosmith song. Dude looks like a lady. When i was young i thought that it was "do the f****** lady." fun stuff fun stuff

I used to think that the lyrics to the song Daddy's Money by Ricochet were "She's a goodbye swisher, a dynamite kisser. Hungry as a turn up free..." when they're really "She's a good bass fisher, a dynamite kisser. Country as a turnip green..." I found out I had it wrong when I was singing with my friend. She thought it was pretty funny!

me and my friend were listening to Save Ferris's version of Come on Eileen, and we started to sing along. She sang the lyrics "Come on Eileen, whow u smell of chlorine!" instead of "Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)" We were on the floor laughing, and we sing her version instead now because its better!

I've generally got a good ear for lyrics but for the longest time I thought the that Dobie Gray was singing "give me the beach boys and free my soul", instead of the actual lyric, "give me the beat, boys"

My younger brother was for years convinced that the Sex Pistols' lyric "another council tenancy" was actually "and other c*nt-like tendencies". Really, though, that's a pretty forgiveable mistake. I doubt most teens in middle america know what a council tenancy is and my brothers version certainly sounds like something Johnny Rotten might say.

A little while ago there was a song it goes "Funk show brother right about now funk show brother!" Or something like that. I asked my sister why they have a song about f***ing your brother on the raido and she laughed for quite awhile.

i use to misheard kiss by a rose by seal "i've been kissied by a rose on the grey" to "i've been kiss by a ghost on the grave" though i coundn't make any sense out of it.

i used to think that the lyrics for lady marmalade were: coochy coochy ya ya, moca cocca ya ya. free your lady mama now. moolan voodo say what at my house.

In the song "Groovin" by the Rascals, there is a part at the end where they sing "You and me, endlessly, groovin"
I thought they were saying "You and me and Leslie, groovin" I couldn't figure out who this Leslie chick was. My older brother claimed it was a child by a previous marriage and I believed him.

My younger brother (who doesn't even like rock 'n' roll) heard the line in the chorus of "Suffragette City" as "Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the chickens..." (real: "ticket"). This seems to be a common one, but earlier in the song he'd also heard "The smell of fried chicken put my spine out of place." (real: "this mellow-thighed chick".) He still calls it the chicken song.

I used to think the song "Walk this way" by Arosmith went horse and sleigh insted of singing walk this way.

When I was younger I thought that the song Chapel of Love by the Dixie Cups was Going to the Jack-O-latern, Instead of Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married... I never understood what marriage had to do with the song.

On the 'Dead Ringer for love', song by meatloaf and Cher, I always thought that the lyrics were: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hangin' round with George!' The actual lyrics are: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hanging 'round this joint!' I used to wonder who George was and why he was such a good friend?!? I still prefer my version and I still insist on singing those lyrics when I hear that song.
