My friend and I loved going to hockey games, They played Cotton Eye Joe a lot, and we loved that song so much. One time at a party we went up to sing it on kareoke and we were really shocked that it was "If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe" and not "Vaydodden veence a Cotton Eye Joe".

When I was younger I overheard my two brothers arguing over the lyrics of a song. One was sure it was "Werewolves of Thunder" and the other was certain it was "Where was London". I had to correct them both, once I stopped laughing. The song, of course, Werewolves of London.

Well, they were both HALF right.

I thought that in the song "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child, the lyrics were "The club is for the ballers and their cock is full grown" when it really was "they pocket's full grown" It sounded so much like it, just listen to the song!

Remember the song "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Base?
I remember when it was really popular (I was in 2nd grade at the time.) I used to think that the title was "I SMELL the Sign". I even have a clip on VHS of me singing it that way!
I am still made fun of about this....
I also thought the name of the band was Ace-a Base and it was the main singer's name. Ha!

I thought the lyrics to Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" was "to me you're like a roman dictionary and I..." when I think now it's actually, "to me you're like a grown addiction that I can't deny."

My father sometimes likes to ask my brother what the name of a certain song is.

Two of the funniest answers that he's SERIOUSLY given have been "Gecko" for the Rolling Stones "Get No(satisfaction)" and "Slow Moving Waters" for Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Waters"

You know that dance song sung my the One Hit Wonders Eiffel 65 called "I'm blue"? Well at the Chourus they say "I'm blue-da bu de da bu die" For many Years I thought they were saying "I'm in need of a guy."

Sadly I didn't learn the truth till I was 12.

You know the The Who song "Magic Bus?" after every line of the verses, the song goes, "Too much, Magic Bus!" Well, I used to think they were saying "Tubas! Magic Bus!"

It's already kind of a weird song. It never bothered me.

I used to think the lyrics to "Too Legit To Quit" were "Do the flip, do the tootsie flip"

I Used To Belive That In The Song "Magic", By Olivia-Newton John, That The Chorus Started This Way: "Captian Belive We Are Magic". I Guess I Needed A Hearing Aid!!!.

I used tobelieve the words to the Kenny Rogers song "Lucille" was..."500 hundred children and a crop in the field." It was "5 hungry children."... Was Probably a "FINE TIME TO LEAVE...if you had 500 kids!!

I used to think that in the song BOSSY by KELIS that the background voice was saying
"Masterbate Yo!"
but it was really saying
"Watch the beat go"

I thought that Neil Young's song "Let's Impeach the President" said the words "Let's impeach the president for smiling" instead of "Let's impeach the president for spying".

i was reading a belief on this site about a choir song that goes "by the muddy muddy banks of the low road". up until i read it, i thought the song went "by the bonnie bonnie banks of lock lomond". no idea what the "bonnie banks" or "lock lomond" are...

i was driving with my sister (she was 17, i was 14) while listening to a christmas music station on the radio, and the song "little saint nick" came on. i started singing to the first verse, and so did she, but we sang different words. she was convinced that she was right, but i knew i was, as i had sung the song in choir. we looked up the lyrics online, and i had a good laugh as she told me what she thought everything was.

"there's a tale about christmas that you've all been told" in her mind was "there's a half a dozen reindeer living out in the cold." i explained to her that half a dozen reindeer was six, and santa had eight reindeer, plus rudoplh.

"christmas comes this time each year" was thought to be "christmas comes this tiny cheer." isn't christmas supposed to be a BIG cheer?

and finally, "run run reindeer" was "one red reindeer". i asked her which reindeer was red, and she said they were talking about rudoplh, with his red nose.

can you believe she was 17 at the time?
