I thought the line "turning saints into the sea" in the Killers' Mr. Brightside wans actually "dirty sex into the sea."

i used to think in the song "hit me with your best shot" was really "hit me while i'm on pot" yea.... i suck!!

Donna

In the Bananarama song Guilty instead of "Guilty, Guilty as a girl can be' I used to sing "Guilty, Guilty as a cocoa bean"

HAVE I THE RIGHT By The Honeycombs - 1964

I used to think that the line 'Come right back I just can't bear it I've got a love and i want to share it' was Come right back i just can't bare it I got a loan from a holy sherriff" Very sad.

That 'army' marching song that goes "Wherever we go (wherever we go), People always ask us (People always ask us), Where do you come from? (Where do you come from?)" etc. Well we used to sing it at Brownies and for ages I thought it was "Wherever we go, we think of all disasters". I thought it was about being contemplative about people who'd been affected by wars and things.
My Brownie leader overheard me, cracked up laughing and told everyone, making me look like a fool. I've never really got over it. She shouldn't have been allowed to be a leader....

... "we are living in mama's cereal world.. and I am mama's cereal girl".... sounded good to me. I loved cereal.

When my big sister kindly pointed out to me that it was "material girl"... I thought she was one of those ladies at the fabric counter measuring out yards of material... I didn't like that as much.

Also, my little sister LOVED the movie Grease, she was the movie's biggest fan... her favorite song was..."you're the thinga-ma-bob!" (instead of you're the one that I want")

My across the street neighbor (who was about 7 at the time) swore up and down that the words to Travis Tritt's song "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" went "I spilled tea all over you and me"... you couldn't convince her otherwise.

She also thought that song "Mi Vida Loca" by Pam Tillis went "...I take corners onto hills" instead of "I take corners on two wheels" (a little geographically challenged I think) and "it's a never ending circus ride, we know farts need not apply"... instead of "faint of heart need not apply". I suggested she just turn off the radio and never listen again.

My uncle was 100% convinced that "Do the hustle" was actually "eat a hot dog!"... he would walk through my grandma's house disco dancing and belting it out.

untill about ayear ago I used to think that Elton Johns song tiny dancer went "hold me close don't tie me down son" when really he was saying "hold me close now tiny dancer". My version didn't make any sense : )

at 5, I thought the Eagles "Take it to the limit" was "Take it to the lemon"

later, intent on finding a nice italian boyfriend, I thought Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" line "Last night I dreamt of San Pedro" was "Last night I dreamt of some daygo"

Finally got my italian

I used to sing along with bohemian rhapsody by queen- "spare him his life from his monstrosity" was "spare him his life for his mum's new settee" and "beelezebub has a devil put aside for me" was "the owls that hoot had a neville in a side for me". i was scandalised that a mother would consider her new settee over the life of her son :s

For years I thought the first line of the song 'Word up' was 'bald headed ladies around the world' when it's actually 'Yo, pretty ladies around the world'.

Big Andy

I used to think Billy Idols "Eyes without a face" was "How's about a date" : - )

Shay

I used to believe the Metallica song "Trapped Under Ice" said "I turned down the rice."

Erik Z.

I used to think the Madonna lyrics to La Isla Bonita were 'Young girl with eyes like potatoes' and also the Queen song Breakthru 'Im under your thumb..'
woz first of all 'Im under your book' Then 'Im under your f**k'. Also, Im still not sure of the lyrics to The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony, they sound like 'I am here, in my mong' to me.

When I was little, and Angie from Rolling Stones went on the radio, I always tought he sang: I'm Jack, IIII'm Jack instead of Angie, Angie, and I never really understood why Mick Jagger wanted to prove he was Jack.

There was that song from Shakira, Objection. We made a dance to that music for our prom in Hungary. Once I heard my friend singing: ...'I'm not your mother, but you don't live in bubble' , when the lyrics was ' you don't even bother'. I was laughing on the floor, but she explaned it had a sense: You don't live in bubble means: you are not alone, you have to pay attention to others, don't be selfish..I think it has something in it:)

Szilvia

this is my cousins...
when she was about 3, she used to sing: "ride a croc horse, to BAN BEE cross, fine lady, white horse, fingers and toes, ever ever she goes" instead of: "ride a cock horse, to banbury cross, to seea fine lady upon a white horse. with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, and she will make music wherever she goes
cracked me up every time
