Sophie B. Hawkins song "As I lay Me down" I hear the background singers singing - "you're an asswhole"... I still swear that is what they are singing! Set me straight..

Grace Slick/Peggy

I was a big fan of KISS when I was young but I couldn't figure out why they had a thing against the police. In the song "God Of Thunder" the line is 'I gather darkness to please me', but I heard 'I gather darkness and police meat.'

My mum used to believe the lyrics to OPM's 'Enola Gay' were 'I know you're gay'.

She thought it was a very odd song.

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

I don't know what the song is called, but the dude says "Excuse me while i kiss the sky"
I always thought he said "Excuse me while i kiss this guy"

Lemon Jelly

In the Spice Girls song, "Merry Christmas," where it says, "but I think I'll skip this one this year," I thought it said, "But I think you'll touch my buns this year!" I knew what than meant, too. God, I was a perverted kid...

To Sammi, I also used to get the lyrics to 'Hey Dude' wrong. I used to think it said
"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I pee like a man".

It actually says

"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I feel like a man"

Made more sense my way.

Everybody's familiar with the Lion King and The Lion King 2. In the lion king 2 there is a song called 'Inupendi' or something which has something to do with love (i forgot the meaning) when I was a kid I always thought they said, 'In your pantie'.

While in the Lion King (the first one) at some point where Rafiki chants some weird stuff I actually heard him say "Stuffed banana up his arse"

I used to always think as a kid that the song "Blue Bayou" was really "Blue By You" and when that song came on the radio I would always try to find something blue near me.

When I was about 8yrs. old, everytime I heard the Steve Miller band song "Big Ole Jet Airliner", I thought they were saying "Didn't go to jail at a line up".
I found out what the right words were one day when I heard the DJ say the name of the song.

I used to think that the lyrics to Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine" went:
"She's alright, she's alright, she's alright...okay."
I couldn't understand why Eric Clapton would write a song about a girl that he just thought was "alright" and "okay."

Sofia

I used to think that the lyrics "Hitch a ride" in the "Superman" song were "Hit yer eyes". Consequently, whenever it was played at home I used to run around the house punching myself in the face.

Nermal, England

Queen, "Headlong"'s lyrics say

"And you're rushing headlong"
but i heard them as
"Get your Russian hands off!!"

I thought that AC/DC's song was, "Dirty feet in the jungle jeep." Not, "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap."

Odd child...

Cheryll and the Jeep.

My younger brother used to think that song by the blue man group, instead of "I'm blue, babadi abadi..." went, "Oh, I'm a bee. I'm a guy. "I'm a bee. I'm a guy." etc. It was hilarious he never could figure out why we would laugh like maniacs when he sang along.

eagles forever!

i used to think the words to footloose (as i didnt actually know the title of the song and was about 8 years old) were nuttergutter cut loose for luce, kick up a sunday shoes, please, louise cut me up on my knees, jack,get back,come on before we crack, luce, for luce, everybody clap for luce..

"Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is scary"
instead of
"Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry."

Madi

The Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

Correct lyric: Can I believe the magic of your sighs
What I heard: Can I believe the magic of your size

On "This Ain't a Scene (it's an arms race)" by My Chemical Romance...

"This thing this thing it's a god damn arse face"
I knew this probably wasn't right but thought it was better than the real words. It also fits in with how the first line "I am an arms dealer" sounds like "I am an arse feeler".

I used to sing the lyrics to Robbie Williams's Angels 'Through it all, she offers me me protection, a lot of love and erection'... it kind of makes sense but the real lyrics are a lot nicer
