When my son ,Jay, was little, I would always sing the song "My Girl" to him, but I would change the lyrics to "I'll bet you'll say, what can make a Mama feel this way, My Jay, My Jay, My Jay, talkin' 'bout my Jay---------------------As we mostly listen to CHRISTian music, it was a long time until he actually heard the real song, when we were out one time. He was mad to find out that the song really wasn't about him.

All of my family and friends have always sung to the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray "I wear goggles when you are not here" when it actually says "My world crumbles when you are not near". We had no idea why she was wearing goggles but we say it anyway

My Brother thought that thelyrics to the Who song, Who are you, were "Blue Walrus: needless to say, I can no longer listen to the song without thinking of him singing the song!

I don't know what the real lyrics are or even what the title of the song is, but I do know that my misheard lyrics are probably not the right ones:

"Every morning there's an alligator hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed!"

Somebody get this freakin' alligator away from me!

In the Sound of Music song 'Favourite Things' in the line where it says "When the dog bites" i used to think it said "When the door bites" i never made sense to me but no one told me it was wrong until last year when i was singing it with my sister.

I thought the words to Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" were "Oh I, I pledge to say, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." Well, 18 years after the song was popular, I was singing it in the car and and my husband laughed at me and said the words are "I want a place to stay, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." I thought he was crazy, that didn't even make sense. I argued until we got to my sister's house where we looked it up on the internet. He was right.

In the song "Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan, I thought they were saying "If you're running out of peas/ you can have a bunch of mine." I seriously thought the song was about sharing vegetables!

In the The Academy Is... song, Neighbors, I thought the line was "Sit back and get my paddy wacked."
It's really "sit back and get my palette wet."

SANTI! tai LJer. =]

Until about a couple of years ago, I thought the line in the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" was "Cheer up sweet Bejean."

I similarly thought that "Proud Mary" included the lyrics "pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans."

When I was a kid, I thought that the line in the song, "You're the One That I Want," from Grease went as follows:

"You're the one that I want, John Travolta, woo, hoo, hoo..."

Growing up playing with a certain 70's death defying daredevil's array of merchandise including Stunt van , chopper and the famous crank wind up motorcycle toy, put a bit of an impression in my 6 year old mind when listening to the Who's lyrics "behind blue eyes" and the line " ...and if I swallow Evil Knievel(anything evil), put you fingers down my throat.."

I used to think the song 'play that funky music' actually said 'play that f**kin' music, white boy!' and it confused the hell out of me, because i thought that you couldn't say 'f**k' o tv or radio. I thought that till i was like, 13 and heard my sister singing it the right way.

F**kin' music white gril

Backstreet Boys - I want it that way? I heard "I was born on a tidal wave

My friend used to think the song criticize said 'Don't criticize my eye brows'
She was really embarrassed when her mum told me this, I actually think her lyrics is better than the real song!!

Hannah

There's a song by a band called No Doubt. The song is called Spiderwebs. In the song, I always thought she sang "i'm gonna scream my boobs off." In reality, she says "I'm gonna screen my phone calls." Took me til I was about 20 to realize what she was really saying.

After reading someone else's belief-for years I thought Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" was actually "Dead Devil with Freeze Eyes"

Er yeah

The Monkees song "Sometime in the morning": Real lyrics are "you need no longer wear a disguise", I thought it was "you need no underwear or disguise".

Daria
