In the song "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5, there's a line that goes, "Wake up, bloodshot eyes, struggle to memorize". But when I heard it the first couple of times, I thought it was, "Wake up, brush my eyes". I envisioned Adam Levine grabbing a toothbrush and vigorously getting rid of eye plaque.

In Grease's Summer Nights, I thought Danny and Sandy had stayed out 'tilting a clock', as opposed to 'till 10 o'clock.'

i thought it was just what kids used to do for kicks...

Until About 6 months ago, I thought the AC/DC song was " thirty thieves and the thunder chief" not "dirty deeds done dirt cheap." I thought it was about a group of peole who do things for you for money...get drunk and sing that at the top of your lungs in a bar and watch what happens.....

I used to think "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees was actually "Stay in the Light"

You know the song "move along" by the All-American Rejects?
Part of the chorus goes like this:
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

Well, my son heard this song except he thought instead of singing "move along" they were singing "mow the lawn."

Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through

He didn't understand why anybody would write a song encouraging people to mow the lawn.

As a child of 6 or 7, I believed the lyrics to George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" were "I got my mom to sit on you." Everyone on my bus to school would sing the wrong lyrics when the song aired.

When I was a boy there was a popular song by Val Dooligan called 'Walk Tall'. The lyric goes: She said, 'Son be a proud man and hold your head up high' . I heard it as: She said,'Son be a frogman and hold your head up high' ...I still do

my brother used to always think Somebodys watching me was... 'im on a speed boat, somebodys watching me' instead of 'i always feel like somebodys watching me'

I've got two songs that I misheard the lyrics to. One is Anthrax's "Belly of the Beast". When the singer sings "You shovel your conscience into the grave", I believed for the longest time that he was singing "You show your prostitute to the grave". (??)
The other one is Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".
Real lyrics:"Dance like marionettes, swing to the Symphony of Destruction."
Misheard Lyrics: "Dance like a million ants, sing to the symphony of destruction." [:) I was weird.

When I fist heard "Play that Funky Music" (circa '98) I was convinced the song said PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC RIGHT, BOY
instead of WHITE BOY.

in bohemian rhapsody, there's a lyric

"Be-elzebub, has a devil put aside for me"

In my defense, it does sound quite a lot like

"Beelzebub, has a devil of a sideboard whee!"

I used to believe that "Listen to your heart" by Roxette is actually "Listen to your mamma"! o_O

on the radio there was a song .; 'walking on tne beaches looking for the pitzas'' There were no pitza huts on our beach and I felt hard done by and wished I was on the beach in the song.....seems the word is peaches.....

I thought for years that the chorus to Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" were "If Papa don't breathe-I'm in trouble."

I used to be the BIGGEST Rick Springfield fan ever...and used to play his music over and over and over! One day, a little 5-year old who lived next door to me was singing outside while he was playing...the song sounded a lot like something I knew so I stopped to listen...Sure enough it was a Rick Springfield song "What Kind of Fool Am I?"...but my little guy? He was singing along quite lustily, but the words HE was singing was "What Kind of Food You Like?" I laughed for quite awhile after that...and it still makes me smile even to this day whenever I hear that song! : )

My fabulously gorgeous 4 year old sings ....
'Old McDonald had a fart,ee-i-ee-i-oh'
He also reckons theres a 'Little boy who lives down the drain''
But my 8 year old takes the biscuit....He reckons that....
'Poppadom Pete,I'm in't rubble deep,Poppadom Pete,I've been oozing sleet but I've made up my mind,I'm keeping my boobies,I'm gonna eat ma baby'
Scary huh?A mad buxom Northern Big-Crisp-Munching-Baby-Eating woman has been in some kind of construction site disaster.
