I originally thought the lyrics of "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed were "You're going to reap, just watch yourself!" and it was meant as a sort of thread, like Watch Your Back!!

It was after a few years I realised that it's actually "You're going to reap just what you sow" which makes more sense but isn't as funny.

i thought that green days 'holiday' went

i beg to Truman differ from the Holorise
this is the timing of the rest of our lives
on holiday

(actual lyrics)
i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday

but that billie guy is reali hard to understand!!

blah blah blah

I thought in the song Two More Years by Bloc Party They were singing Doom on You. Which is a friend of mine's favourite expression.
I felt a bit silly when I realised.

I woke up this morning, and the radio started playing "Bad" by Michael Jackson. I suddenly realized what the first two lines were:
"Your butt is mine.
You're 8 years, right?"

Torgeir

billy joels "for the longest time" song.as a child till i was about maybe 10 years old, i thought the lyrics where "father long-legs time". i used to always play with those father-long-leg spiders(those orange dots with legs)lol.

Instead of Madonnas 'Like a virgin' I used to sing 'Like a gerbil'

Stupid Child

I was in the car with my parents when I first heard Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" Maybe the speakers weren't up to par, but I swore he was saying, "Tungla, the bungle whale"

One day, many weeks after that I mentioned it to my mother and asked about that whale named Tungla. It has been a family joke for years.

Easily Amused

I thought for years that the line "four calling birds" in The Twelve Days of Christmas was really "four collie birds." I used to picture a bunch of little winged collie dogs flying around.

When I was little my mom had a Lion King soundtrack tape that we used to play in the car. I loved that tape and sung it at the top of my lungs! In the song HAKUNA MATATA it says "It's our problem-free philosophy!" and I would belt at the top of my lungs "It's our problem-free: with lotsa peas!". My mom always got a kick outta it.

K8E

Well Actually this is my little niece's belief... when she was 3 and heard Anastasia's Iv'e payed my dues...she sang... I payed my juice!!!

Fairy

I used to think in that one song "he's a jolly good fellow" then it said "he's a johnny good fellow". I always wondered who johnny was and why they sang about him when the song was in honer of someone else.

Lisa

when i first heard the new song from the black eyed peas 'don't lie' i thought it was 'no no no no baby no no no no don't die... instead of 'no no no no baby no no no no don't lie..!!!!

my mom loves Bette Midler and so she would always play her CD with the song "Chapel of Love" when i was younger. i thought for my entire childhood that "we're going to the chapel and we're gonna get married" was actually "we're going to the jack-o-lantern, gonna get married"

Sophie

i used to think that in the christmas carrol "the 12 days of X-Mas,that instead of 3 French Hens,it said 3 Flinch Kids...i know it dont make sinse but dont ask.

steph-dayton

I used to think the song "Hang on sloopy" was "hang on snoopy"

gina

My mum used to the think the song 'Horny' by Mousse T went 'I'm forty, forty forty forty'.

H

That song that goes' You got the hooch', I thought they were saying 'You got the pooch'. I thought they were singing about some girl who has a dog.

Maddy

In Duran Duran's "The Reflex", I thought that "I'll cross that bridge when I find it was "I'll slap that bitch when I find it." I coudn't hear what "cross" was, but "bridge" definitely sounds like "bitch" to me.

Fle-fle-fle-fle-flex

We used to think Kirsty Mc Call's Theirs a Guy Works Down the Fishshop swears he's Elvis, He's a liar and I'm not sure about You.- was-There's a guy works down the fish shop wears his helmet, he's alive but I'm not sure about you.

sarah

Before I knew it's title, I thought the song This Year's Love had the line "This here's lovin' at-a last" instead of This year's love had better last.
