I used to think that in the song Halo by Texas, she sang "She has a halo, we really do a door, she has a halo, hairy sunshine"

Instead of "She has a halo, we really do adore her, she has a halo, can we touch her"

In 1999 there was a huge hit by an band called The Wamdue Project: King of My Castle, I has just turned 29 and was having a hard time realising that I was nearly thirty and was really trying to get into all the commercial pop on the radio. We were at a house party and King of my castle came on, to my delight, (as it was my favourite song at the time)I was boogeying on the dancefloor with a couple of teenagers,singing at the top of my voice (I was hip, I was cool!) Must be the reason why i am king of my castle, must be the reason why I am still on my trestle, when this snotty little teenager came up to me and said, "DUH, must be the reason why i am freeing my TRAPPED SOUL" i was quite embarrassed and went and sat quietly in the corner!!

I used to think that that song "bridge over troubled water" by Simon and Garfunkel said
"like a bitch over bubbled water, I will lay meow."

I used to think Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" went "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I'd probably mess around with another man"......instead of "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messing around with another man".

I used to think that song that goes "everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you" went "everytime you go away, you take a piece of MEAT with you". To me it made much more sense than taking a piece of someone else.

In Queen's 'Killer Queen', I used to think She keeps Moet & Chandon in a pritty cabinet was She keeps mohair sandals in a pretty cabinet. Oh dear.

I have been listening to an 80's alternative Australian band called "Mr. Floppy". They did a rather silly version of Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' which was played in Australia a lot on JJJ (radio station). Anyway, I started playing it at home and there's this rather rude song called "Head Job". My wife was concerned, but our kids aren't affected by it. The boys (4 and 7 yo) and I all run round the room singing at the top of our lungs "Hedgehog". It's classic!

I used to think that Metallica's "exit night, enter light" was "Amstel Light, Amstel Light, walk in never never land" I thought it was a song about getting tanked and having good times!

Not my belief, but when my daughter was around 3 we had a tape we played in the car and it had the song "Raise a Little Hell" by Trooper on it. We heard my daughter's little voice in the back seat singing "Raise your little hands" at the chorus part, and she'd wave her arms in the air!

Reading through the misheard lyrics page, I just found out the correct lyrics for something I've misheard for years!

Every time I heard the Pearl Jam song "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun," I swear I heard "Hot, Fly Virgins and a Belly Gun."

It drove me nuts when that song came on because I could not understand what the hell Eddie was talking about! I was sure it was Pelicans or Femme-bots

More Lyrics:

I couldn't figure out why the Song "Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down was being played on radio stations with this Chorus:

"F-cking me like that..."

potty mouth

I used to (and sometimes still do) hear the line from the Green Day song "Time of your Life" as:

"Tounge grabs you by the waist..." (Time grabs you by the wrist...")

and

"..Hang it on the shelf in good old-fingered time" (Still haven't figured out what he's saying here).

AC/DC's Dirty Deed:

I still swear the line "done dirt cheep" was said "Dunder Chief." I thought the Dunder Chief was the one doing dirty deeds.

When I was little and listened to "Puff the Magic Dragon," I thought when they said, "brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff," that they were saying "ceiling wax." I thought it was like floor wax but for the ceiling. I used to wonder what the point of waxing the ceiling was!

OH YAH I just remembered another one (I have so many of these darn things)!!

This one, to my friends and I, is particularily hysterical becuase I sent it into another misheard lyrics site. Little did I know, it was a church site, with misheard lyrics from church hymns. Go figure. Anyway, I was eager to send in a good screw-up of mine and didn't bother reading some of the other entries. I submitted this line, from of all songs, "Warning" by Green Day:
In the first verse, right before the chorus, the line is, "get your philosophy from a bumper sticker". And if anyone reading this has even heard ONE of their songs knows that their lead singer (as much as I idolize him) is WHOLLY AND COMPLETELY incomprehensible (drunk? Perhaps), making the line, to me, sound instead like "get the fools off your feet and grow a bumper sticker". GOD I am retarded. My friends laughed their heads off at this. I just think I'm an idiot.
