I used to think that in the song Jet they were actually singing chair

There's this church group called EFY that I listened to a lot. One of their songs is called 'We Believe.' One verse of it, in the chorus, is 'We believe in obedience ringing the bell of the free..." For several years, I thought it was 'We believe in the beady ants ringing the bell of the free', and I sang it like that every time. Finally one day I had a breakthrough.

O, Beady Ants...

There's an Irish music group called Celtic Women. On their Christmas CD, there is a song called "Play The Old Christmas Pipes." My dad burst out laughing one day when he heard both my mom and me sing, "Gravy on the Christmas pies...."

Taylor (again.... Methinks I need hearing aids)

in the song Im Blue I used to think the lyrics were, "im blue, i believe i would die, i believe i would die, i believe i would die..."

i thought, "those are odd lyrics."

I thought until yesterday that the lyrics of the teenage mutant ninja turtles' s theme tune was-
Whan the Evil-Shredder-Of-Tax,
(rather than the evil shredder attacks)
I always thought it had some obscure political message.

Once while I was going somewhere with a friend and my sister the song "Blurry" by "Puddle Of Mud" started playing on the radio so me,my sister and my friend started to sing it. (We liked the song obviously.) But while me and my singer were singing the song correctly:
(It said :"Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake and everybody's empty and everything is so messed up...")
my friend was singing the complete opposite of the song:
(She said:"Everything so perfect,everything so right..." And god knows what else...)And man did we make fun of her for it!!! Ha ha.

I used to think that the line in the song "Life in the Fast Lane" was "Fights in the Bat Plane".

Growing up, we used to go to the local waterpark on the weekends. They used to play a lot of the songs from the Beach Boys. My fathers name is Bob Brown, and I used to thing their song "Barbra Ann" was actually being sung "Bob Bob Bob, Bob Bob Brown" and that the Beach Boys had written the song about my dad and dedicated it to him. My father knew I thought this and did not tell me until i figured it out when I was 10. He had been laughing at me about it for about 6 years.

Part of the national anthem (UK) goes 'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'. I thought it said 'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'. This made sense, seeing as at that time there were some twins called Laura and Victoria, so clearly the song was dedicated to them.

This isn't MINE, perse, but it's still enough to make me go into fits of laughter whenever I hear the song:

My friend Hyatt and I were sitting in her room listening to the radio. The Beach Boy's song "Barbara Ann" came on the radio, and Hyatt began singing it phonetically. It didn't sound all that wrong until after the song was over.

"Alistaire? What's a boberanne?"

"I dunno."

"Because I have a theory. A boberanne is a pink flamingo wearing Mardi Gras beads and an ornate feathered-headdress."

".... Good call."

Alistaire and His Magical Boberanne

I used to wonder why the word "seldom" was "a discouraging word", according to the lyrics for the song Home on the Range.

I believed that the homecoming queen in 'Daydream Believer' was a queen, and she was coming home.

I used to think that the chorus of the theme song from "Flashdance" went:

"take your pants down, and make it happen."

when really it's: "take your passion..."

I always thought it was too dirty for a PG rated movie. :)

My brother used to think "Kung-Fu Fighting" was actually "When It Comes To Fighting."

The Pacifist

I used to believe that the Macy Gray song, "I Try," went

"I blow bubbles when you are not near."

In reality, it goes

"My world crumbles when you are not near."

I used to belive that K D Lang was a bit weird (go figure). She had a whole song dedicated to the fact that she didn't like Bisto.

It was in fact "Constant Craving", not "Can't Stand Gravy"
