I used to think that in the song "Bad to the Bone'', that he would say:
on the day I was born
the nurses all gathered clowns
and gazed in white thunder
at the boy they had found
(here is where I could not understand the words and just sang jibberish)
tut tut butt butt
seleeze alee ohco
they could tell right away...
I still don't know what the guy was actually saying.

In the title theme from "Dukes Of Hazzard" the line goes "Just the good ol' boys,
Never meanin' no harm,
Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. "
I always heard "been in trouble with the law since the Daisy was born."

Oh man, girls cause trouble

I used to think the title of Savage Garden's "The Animal Song" was actually "Run through the Jungle" - fair enough, you might say. But I also used to think the line "I want to live like animals" actually said "I want to live like a cannonball". Thinking about it now, I realise it makes no sense, considering the rest of the song, but it didn't bother me at the time.

Until recently, I thought the singer of 'Fortunate Son' was passionly singing 'DMV! DMV! DMV!' As is turns it, he was saying 'It ain't me! It ain't me! It ain't me!' I did wonder why the guy was screaming about a driving department.

Until I was about 10, I was convinced that the song "Auld Lang Syne" was about doing things "for the sake of Old Man's Eye".

I thought in Jay-Z's song Renegade, he says 'Say that I'm foolish, I only talk about Jews'. As it turns out, the line is 'I only talk about jewels'. I wondered for a while while Jay-Z had an obession with Jewish people.

When I was in the first grade, a little boy I knew told me one day what his parts were called. The next day I heard the song "Venus in Blue Jeans" on the radio. I thought they were referring to the same word. I was shocked that such a dirty song would be allowed on the radio and would get terribly embarrassed whenever I was in the car with my family and it started playing.

My friend thought that instead of
"here we are now, entertain us"
that it was, "here we are now, eat potatoes"!

i guess it is pretty hard to understand Curt. Wierd Al makes fun of the song and not being able to understand what hes saying, so watch it if you haven't already.

nyeeeieeeieeeeeeen! haha

I used to think the song our lips are sealed said 'i saw the seal'

My fiancé's brother thought Moby's "Lift Me Up" had a gay pride theme because instead of hearing "Lift me up, lift me up..." he heard "lesbian, lesbian". Now I hear that every time I listen to the song

Laura S

my darling little sister used to think that "You are my sunshine" contained the following: "You are a clementine, clementine... grandpa!"

The Nickel Creek song, "Spit On A Stranger", says "I could spit on a stranger, pull me out." (I don't get it, really.) Instead, when I was younger I reckoned it went, "I could shit on a stranger, oh meow."

This is really dumb, but you know the AC/DC song 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' or whatever it was? Well I thought for about 5 years that it was 'Dirty deeds and the done for cheese' I was messed up. ;)

My younger brother used to think that song by the blue man group, instead of "I'm blue, babadi abadi..." went, "Oh, I'm a bee. I'm a guy. "I'm a bee. I'm a guy." etc. It was hilarious he never could figure out why we would laugh like maniacs when he sang along.

eagles forever!

I used to believe that the Chumbawumba song 'Amnesia' said "Do you soccer punch long-term memory loss?" when it was actually "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?" My father heard me sing it once and laughed so hard he cried... and still wouldn't tell me the correct lyrics.

Keera

I used to believe that the lyrics to Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" were "You give love a Band-Aid".

When my brother was younger, he thought the chorus to billy ray cyrus' 'Burn down the trailer park' was 'burn down the tranamar' .. we never did have the heart to correct him, to this day im preetty sure he still sings it like that.
