misheard lyrics

I used to believe "Karma Chameleon" went "Come-a come-a come-a come-a come-a to me, Leon" lol

Andy F.

In NeYo's song "So Sick" I thought he said "I'm so fat, I eat my problems on you" but he really says "i'm so fed up with my thoughts of you".

When I was 3 I heard a song (I forget what it's called but I still hear it all the time) and I thought it said "I don't wanna weigh too much for the weigher."

I'm probably not alone in this, but I thought it was "Ooh, baby, baby, it's a wide world." Didn't really give it a second thought until last year when I got the real song.

I thought that in Paul McCartney & Wings 'Live and Let Die' it went 'What does it matter to ya/ When you got a job to do, you gotta do it well/.. You gotta give the other fella HEAD'... I remember wondering what Linda had to say about this, and why a star in McCartney's position (pun intended) should have to do that anyway...

Spooky

This from the Smashig Pumpkins' Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Misheard lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and don't be so gay.

Real lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

When my daughter was about 6 or 7, Ronnie Milsap had a song that said, "You tear my plans apart" she heard and sang it as, "You tear my pants apart."

Oh, my daughter is now 31 (almost) and found your site first. She knows I'm telling this on her.

My Borther used to sing the Theme song to the TV show Cops as, "Bad boys bad boys, funky cunsha du funky cunsha du when they come for you."

Funky Cunsha du

My son was singing along with Kenny Rogers and sang, "You left me with 400 kids and a crop in the ground." The real lyrics are, "4 hungry kids and a crop in the ground". He is now 40 and we still laugh about it.

In the early 90's my aunt Chris thought that the song by EMF entitled "Unbeleivable" really said -
You're ugly boy
where it says "You're unbelievable, OH!"
hahahaha

My sister and I have always loved to sing in the car - and in the early 80's when we used to sing along to the song "True" by Spandau Ballet (from 16 candles soundtrack), we thought it said

I no dis machis choo (in the chorus)
when it really says "I know this much is True"

Aaah it was so adorable, when my sister was little she used to sing Baa Baa black sheep (or even rainbow sheep f*ck u P.C)
Anyway she used to sing 'and one for the little boy who lives down the Draaaaaayn!'

Little Girl who lives down the draaaaaaaaaayn

I thoguht that the lyrics to Stings song that goes 'i'm an alien, i'm a legal alien, i'm an Englishman in New york' was 'i'm an alien, i'm a legal alien i'm a legal mushroom in New York'
I was wondering why he was singing about mushrooms, that's just strange.

Legal Mushroom in England

In r.e.s.p.e.c.t by aretha franklin i thoguth instead of 'take care, TBC' i thought she was singing about TCP! you know the anticeptic stuff, i don';t know why i thought she was singing about it but i don't know what TBC is anyways.

war against TCP

The ying yang twins- Wait (The whisper song)

Lyric- Beat da pussy up

What I heard- Never get it up

I had no idea why they would say that.

Cappy

There was this song that went 'She loves me for meeeee!' (forgot the singer) but I always heard it as 'She loves meat for meaaattt!'

Maddy

In Orinoco Flow, Enya clearly sings "Save the Whale, Save the Whale, Save the Whale" despite the official lyrics claiming it's "Sail Away...".

Kevin May

actin funny and i dunno why... excuse me while i kiss that guy -jimi hendrix

Not Frank

I used to think that in Macy Gray's song it was i try to say goodbye and i choke, try to walk away and Istambul, though i try to hide it is clear i wore googles when you r not there! Rather than my world crumbles!
I have no clue what the Istambul bit was about either!

Unusual Being

i used to think the lyrics to aretha franklins Respect went "R-e-s-p-e-c-t take out the e-c-t" the real words are "r-e-s-p-e-c-t take care, TBC." Respect without the ect is resp, and i was going around like, "what's resp?" and i finally cleared that up by looking it up on google.
