I used to think the song Cotton Eye Joe Said "where did you come from where did you go where did you go"
NOT where did you come from cotton eye Joe...

I never got where he keeps going and comming. I remember my dads friend had a party with a DJ and my dad tried to explain the whole DJ concept and sent me on my merry way to ask the poor DJ the song I wanted " Where'd you come from" which logically was the name of the song that they constantly say "where'd you come from where'd you go where'd you come from where'd you go" the best was when the guy asked me to sing it cuz he never heard of it.....yea that was bad I was like 13 lol

That in 'We Didn't Start the Fire', the line 'no we didn't light it' was 'well, we did ignite it'.

I still think that it's a better line.

I used to believe some lyrics in Culture Club's, "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," were:

Bit by lust without a reason

when it's really

This boy loves without a reason.

My sister used to be a big fan of Shakira when we were little...

Mama Mia Toes
There's a manless story (or mandatory- I couldn't tell!)
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story

I used to think Right Said Fred sung 'I'm too sexy for my lamb' instead of 'I'm too sexy for Milan'.

Nineties music was great

I believed that Justin's line of the song 'Four Minutes' by Madonna was "Keep it up, keep it up, Don't be a Britney, Madonna" referencing Britney's meltdown and how Madonna has to keep on going with her career to avoid a similar fate! I'm still not sure what the real lyrics are.

I still think in the Guns N' Roses song "Welcome to the Jungle" it goes Ya learn ta live like a Dragonball, instead of animal, it still sounds like that to me...

In the song Paradise City, I thought it was Paramount city, because I went to a paramount theme park.

Livin' like a dragonball

i used to think that the song "Jeanny" by Falco was called "Chile". I even posted an ad in the newspaper that I was looking for the CD "Chile" by Falco.

I used to think that a Queen song was a love song to someone named Sammy. You know, "Sammy, Sammy, I can't face this life alone. Sammy, Sammy, Sammy, I'm naked and I'm far from home." My dad finally clued me in that the word was "Save Me".

Save Me, Sammy!

Don Henley sings "After the boys of summer have gone". I used to think it was "After the poisoned summer had gone".

Anyone remeber the song Convoy? I thought for a long while that roll your truckin' convoy was roll your *uckin' convoy

For ages, I thought the line in 'Free Nelson Mandela' that goes:

'His body abused, but his mind is free'

Was actually...

'His body abused by these mindless freaks.'

My friends and I used to think that in Girls Aloud's song "Biology" instead of "if we party anymore, we'll start a fire of pure desire" it said "if we party anymore, we'll start a fight. I'll kill this guy"
We didn't understand why it was so violent...ha ha

I used to think that the lyrics to REM's Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight were:

Calling Cherly Baker

when it is actually:

Call me when you try to wake her up

Jayne

in the song: Hey, don't stop the music
I thought it was saying: Hazel's got the music
My daughter teases me about it all the time. Ha ha!

Jules

my second mother (my friend mom)
used to belive that in the song rudolph the red nose raindeer it whent olive the raindeer insted of all of the other ranideer.

When my brother and I were little, perhaps first grade, our favorite song was "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35". We were convinced that the line "everybody must get stoned" (and the entire chorus surrounding it) was about medieval times, and used to run around the house shouting those few lines ALL THE TIME. Our parents used to have us stand on top of the piano and sing it frequently when we had guests over, and we never understood why everyone found us so funny!
