When I was young, I though the David Bowie song "Suffragette CIty" went, "Awww, wham, bam, bacon ham!" My mom never tried to correct me.

I used to think the lyrics to the Pink Floyd song were "We don't need no Dukes of Hazzard" instead of "We don't need no dark sarcasm" I think it was because my mother wouldn't let me watch the show.

watching whatever I want now

my girlfriend and i had jsut watched a James Bond movie, and she started to sing "secret-- agent man, secret--agent maaan....." only problem was, she thought the words were "secret Asian man"....

Browner von Wight

In the Kenny Rogers song, You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, I always thought the line "four hungry children" was actually "four hundred children". Surprisingly it never occured to me why they had so many children.

I used to think the Police song "So Lonely" was "Salami".

Roman

I used to think the song that goes, " I can see clearly now the rain is gone... I can see all obstacles in my way, was, I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all popcicles in my way!

Strange Child

The Canadian Rock group Harlequin had a hit with a song called "Innocence." I swear that in live shows they would sing "Anal Sex" - that 's all you ever needed.
"Anal Sex" - that' all you ever need from me......

I remember telling a friend that I didn't like the new Duran Duran song because of the terrible sexist lyrics... I had a big problem with them saying, "I'll slap that %itch when I find her."

(The Reflex - I'll cross that bridge when I find it.)

I USED TO THINK THE CLASH WERE SINGING, "YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT, YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT....MADAGASCAR, MADAGASCAR!!!"
LATER I LEARNED THEY WERE SINGING, "ROCKIN THE KASBA"...HMMM...

TERESA

For years my Mom has sang "To legit to quit" as "Do the jerk, do the jerk at work", and she's a teacher

Erin

When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"

Kristen

I still have no idea what the lyrics are... or even what the songs called but I still swear she's sings "You remember me? I'm the one who ate your baby's eye"

Not my belief, but when my daughter was around 3 we had a tape we played in the car and it had the song "Raise a Little Hell" by Trooper on it. We heard my daughter's little voice in the back seat singing "Raise your little hands" at the chorus part, and she'd wave her arms in the air!

On the 'Dead Ringer for love', song by meatloaf and Cher, I always thought that the lyrics were: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hangin' round with George!' The actual lyrics are: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hanging 'round this joint!' I used to wonder who George was and why he was such a good friend?!? I still prefer my version and I still insist on singing those lyrics when I hear that song.

Lorraine

A friend of mine told me the children in "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd were making fun and singing "all in all you're just a-nother prick in the hole"... I'm still not convinced this is wrong!

G.M.

My little brother (he's 5) sings the chorus from the Jimmy Eat World song "little biddle in the middle exercise" instead of little girl you're in the middle of the ride."

He will still argue with you if you try to correct it.

In the Chorus of the song The Motivation Proclemation by Good Charlotte, there is the line
"Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head"
I always sang it as
"Captivate me, I want catharsis out of my head"

Jaded Angel

I used to think that the song went "Why does it always rain on me, is it because I live in a submarine". I thought the submarine had wholes in it, i didn't know it was "..is it because I lied when i was 17". I could hardly belive it when I found out about a year ago!
