For a long time I thought in Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," when the lyrics go "Count the headlights on the highway," he was singing, "Count the head lice on the highway."

I wondered what could be romantic about that...

I used to think the part of the bowling for soup song "Trucker Hat" that says "I've beem more than I can be" was
"Rocky Mountain Okapi" Until i realized that Okapis don't like in the Rocky Mountains.

When I was growing up I loved to listen to my parents' Pointer Sisters cassette. But the song, "Jump" always threw me, I thought for sure she was saying, "If you want me my kiss is in the night stand" I still had no idea what she was saying until I looked it up a couple weeks ago.

The Aha (Norwegian Pop Group from the 80's with Morten, Pal and some other bloke) song The Living Daylights from the Bond movie of the same has the lyrics, "Come the morning and the headlights fade away" which is a given to be mis-sung as "Come the morning and the headlice fade away". Mmmm nice!

My friend Garet always sang Mr. Brightside really wrong. The lyrics go:Jealousy, throwing saints into the sea... But he thought it was Chelllllsseeeaaa(chelsea)going to the pharmacy...!

When I was about 12/13 and just getting into real music, I had a clock radio with poor reception, through which I had to strain to make out the proper lyrics of The Eurythmics first smash hit. For YEARS (I swear to God) I sang "Sweet Jesus, maiden of the East" (and not "Sweet dreams are made of these")

I used to think the lyrics for the song "You Sexy Thing" "I believe in Miracles" was actually "I believe in milk cows"

in the queen song "bohemian rhapsody" when they sing "Scheramouch Scheramouch (yes, i spelled that wrong. it is really hard to type, yet easy to say)will you do the vanago?" i thought they were singing "Scare a moose, scare a moose then do the vampire pogo." yea, i was a messed up little kid, but on the other hand my brother was obsessed with, and stil is, vampires.

who wants to know?

In the Peter Gabriel song, "Don't give up" I thought that he sang "Donkey Butt" instead of "don't give up" in the song and I never really understood why...

When I heard No Doubt's "Spiderwebs" I thought the verse saying "Leave a message and I'll call you back" was "I think I want to shoot Bob Eubanks."

(Bob Eubanks is an old-school TV game show host)

I used to think Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine said "Lights up, we're on the radio", so when i heard it on the radio at night when i was trying to go to sleep, i would always get up and turn on the light. It got me in trouble because sometimes it kept me up and i fell asleep in class. Also, I told my dad that he was going to get arrested if he didnt turn on the headlights on when it played, the cops would come and arrest him... I was a dumb kid.

When I was younger, I loved the song "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc. The problem is that when I went searching for the cassette tape at the music store, I was searching for "Turtle Oak" as the artist. I guess teenagers really do have selective hearing.

I always thought Hot Chocolate were singing 'You Sexy PIG' instead of 'You sexy Thing.

My friend Connie thought that the Will Smith song "Gettin Jiggie With It" said "Kick a Chicken With It".

I used to think that Supertramp's song "Dreamer" was about me. I was convinced they were singing about "Dreama".

Dreama

My Daughter, who is now 6, just reminded me how she used to think and sing the opening song to the show "Seventh Heaven", as "Seven Kevin", since her uncle's name is Kevin.
