when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D

In Hilary Duff's song, "With Love", I heard in the chorus: "You can even be tough, say you'll have a Zima." It's actually, "say enough is enough". But in my opinion having a boyfriend who drinks Zima is way worse than one who will tell you if you look fat in that.

In the Christina Aguilera song "Candyman", a guy in the beginning sings, "Tarzan and Jane were swinging on a vine, sipping on a bottle of vodka double wine". It's rather hard to understand, so I always sang it as, "da da da day, swinging on the side. Sitting, lala, your mom's a double wide."

In Justin Timberlake's song "Sexyback", Timbaland says, "Get your sexy on" repeatedly. I thought it was "Who's your sexy ho" and I wondered how that made it onto the radio.

My friend and I loved the song "Down on the Corner", we especially loved singing along with it. The problem was, we didn't know the lyrics. Until we looked the lyrics up online, we sang the lyrics, "Down on the corner, out in the street, with a busload full of cattle, and veniffo dadalie" for about three years.
People must have thought we were retarded.

In the song "Honest workers" I thought it was ""Day by day Baba Yaga feels she's coming free..."
Real lyrics: "Day by day, hour by hour, feels he's coming free..."
Creepy. ;)

I was just in a clothing store yesterday and they were playing music. I don't remember what songs were being played, but I misheard the lyrics and it took me a while to find out what they were really singing.

The first one had the lyrics "Always by my side". I misheard it as "Olives by my side"

The second song had the lyrics "Gonna blow your mind" but I misheard it as, "Donut girl, you're mine"

Mitsuki

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who heard, and I still say it sounds more like, "Down on the corner houdy in the street". As apposed to "out in the street." But here's a less well known song. I heard a local band playing Springstien's "Tenth avenue freeze out". I could sware it sounds more like "Dead devil in the freezer." I asked a band member if that was what it was. He cracked up.. But I found out I'm not aloan in hearing it. Makes more sense if you ask me.

Queen, "Headlong"'s lyrics say

"And you're rushing headlong"
but i heard them as
"Get your Russian hands off!!"

We in the UK had a singer years ago called James who sang a song called Sit Down. I thought the lyrics said: "Sit down if your pleased", it was actually "Sit down next to me."

I used to think these were the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland":

In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is charlie brown.
He'll say are you Mary we'll say no man,
but you can do the job when youre in town.

I used to picture Charlie brown dressed up like Mary in little house on the prarie. Hahah.

A Nieve Noelle

In "Proud Mary," I thought it was "pumped a lotta tank down in New Orleans" instead of "pumped a lotta pain."

David Noble

When I was young, I thought in Jimmy Hendrix's song "Purple Haze" he was saying "excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of kiss the sky. I then preceded to ask my mom if Jimmy Hendrix was gay

ohhh say can you see
by the donterly light....
i was a dumb kid! i didnt know the right words to my own national anthem!

I used to think the words to Praise You by Fatboy Slim went "We've come a long long way together, through the hard times and the shoes. I have to try and graze you baby, I have to graze you like a shoe"
It didn't occur to me that you don't generally graze shoes do you?

My 14-year old sister always sing "In the jungle, the LION jungle ...", no matter how many times we tell her it's MIGHTY jungle, she keeps getting it wrong.

i thought that new disney peter pan song said "spread your legs" but its really "spread your wings"

When I was young, I thought the song "Secret Agent Man" was actually called "Secret Asian Man" and I could never understand why they had "taken away his name"

Paula

When I was little I loved the song "What kind of fool do you think I am?"These words are the chorus...My take on the song you ask?I sang it,What kind of food do you think I am?The sad part?I sang it this way until I was 11.

Until a few years ago, I thought Eric Clapton was saying "hey love" instead of Layla. I love this oldie and was singing it loud. My friend had a look of annoyance on her face when she said it's LAYLA!
