When my parents bought the Beatles One album and I heard their song "Can't Buy Me Love" I thought they were singing Got Puppy Love. The words seemed to fit and my brother thought the same thing. Sometimes I still sing the wrong words because it makes me smile.

I used to think that in the song written by backsteet boys that goes "there's something missing in my heart" when "There's something disespangdidly so!". I thought disespangdidly was a foreign language that only the backstreet boys knew!

My grandma and I were in the car when the song "Trying to find Atlantis" came on. The lyrics went like-- trying to find the perfect man is like trying to find atlantis-- My grandma looked at me and said "Did she just say 'Trying to find the perfect manyase (sorry, my spelling stinks) is like trying to find the lettuce'?" I laughed so hard after that!

When I was younger I thought the Rudolphe the Red-Nosed Reindeer song said "you'll go down in his story" (as opposed to history) so I thought I could jump into the book and live at the North Pole. I was sorely disappointed when I learned otherwise.

ive always thought the lyrics to brand new went:
''and i like that fiberotic lamp'' instead of:
''and i liked it the further i got out''
''im having sex'' instead of ''im heaven sent''
i still dont hear them the same.

Remember that 90's song "I'll be your crying shoulder"? my sister and I thought for the longest time the guy was saying "I'll be your crying soda" which went with "a love suicide" which was mentioned in the next line in the song. We still sing it as soda because it sounds better to us that way.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who was misheard as "won't get food again". Imagine the embarrasment of singing this song out loud to friends who are big The Who fans.

For the longest time I misheard a line in the EMF song "Unbelievable" - what should have been: "Never think you're asked to brace yourself" sounded to me like "Never pick your ass to brace yourself."
It still sounds like that to me.

Unbelievable

I used to think that the song "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison was (and dont ask me why) about a ghost named 'Only' and he was lonely so people called him "Only the Lonely" i never thought when he said only he meant only i thought it was a weird name like "ownly or Owenley"

My mum thought the song "The drugs don't work" by the verve was "The trucks don't work"

and "return of the mac" she thought was "please turn out the light"

When we were little me and my brother were huge fans of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I used to sing the theme tune all the time, but misheard it so that the end line of "what a cool rap" became "radacoo ra"

In the song "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen, I misheard the line 'And the stiffness in your bones' for 'I've got stiffness in the balls' and I always though it was a very dity song..talking about some guy being hard and all..

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.

Rocky Mountain Girl

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...!
