One of our neighbor kids was learning songs in first grade. I over heard her singing "Land where the pigeons flied ..... from every mountain slide, let freedom ring." Somehow, her version makes more sense today.

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

My ex yused to think "Poetry in Motion" was "Oh a tree in motion"

When I heard the Beatles song "Michelle," I thought the Beatles were singing Michelle, my bell. Then I found out it was ma bell. Of course I didn't know French!

For the "Family Guy" theme song there's several mistakes i made until i looked it up online-

where it says "lucky there's a family guy" i thought it said "puffy is a family guy"

and where it says "all the things that make us laugh and cry" i thought it was "all the things that make us effin' cry"

I used to think that Green Day's "Time of Your Life" went
Another yearning goat, a cork stuck in a toad,
Time grabs you by the wrist and erects you and your nose.
o.O Don't ask...

In the Lion King, I used to think that Simba was saying "We don't eat some rice or little corn filled core of star" instead of "We don't need advice from little hornbills for a start", and I always thought that stars had corn inside them until I looked up the lyrics

When I was young I had a friend who was sining the Sting tune "King of Pain", except he kept saying "King of SPAIN"

In the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", I thought that instead of being destined to "go down in history", he would "go down and hit the reith"

I listened to Led Zeplin singing

"I want to be your back door man"

for many years before I realized he was singing about anal sex. I thought he meant sneaking in the back door of the house, like they were having an affair or something. Thanks Tim for clearing that one up for me.

i used to believe that the lyrics to"change(in the house of flys) was" "al is in chains, who knew a fly", not, "i watched you changed into a fly" and also thought that Alice in Chains sang that beca"use of how close "al is in chains" sounds to "Alice in chains" when you say it fast.

In Orinoco Flow, Enya clearly sings "Save the Whale, Save the Whale, Save the Whale" despite the official lyrics claiming it's "Sail Away...".

'Run Run Away' by slade. a song i had a bit of a mix up with.

If you've got a crush, don't beat about the bush.
I thought it said
I'f you've got a crush don't be an octopus

I used to think that Madonna's Song where she's sings "do you love me", I thought she was singing "Annie Oakley"- It might of been because of the western outfit she was wearing, who knows!

V.C.R

I used to think Without Me by Eminem contained these lyrics:

"A little bit of wee mixed with some hot liquor"

It actually says:

"A little bit of weed mixed with some hot liquor"

Antony

In the gorillaz song clint eastwood, i thought he was saying
"I aint happy, Im a female fag"

He's really saying "I aint happy, Im feelin glad"

Kelly

I used to think Cher's song "Half- Breed" really was saying "Heffrey!" I thought that was a new name, sort of like a variation on Jeffrey, that Cher was making up.

Kat started a new naming craze

in the song toxic by britney spears the real words are:

too high
can't come down
losing my head
spinning round and round
can you feel me now
with a taste of your lips im on a ride
you're toxic i'm slipping under

BUT I THOUGHT the words were

Come on
yank em down
we're on the ground
spining round and round
do you feel me now
with a taste of your lips im lost
youre on top and im the one under

I thought this was a very appropriate song considering britney is such a whore and all. I figured she was owning up to it. Then one day I read the lyrics online. I think my version is more suiting to her. But could anyone out there really understand what the hell she was saying in that song? It's nowhere near singing!

I'm the song "santeria" by sublime in the part that says "I don't practice santeria"I used to think it said " I don't practice diarrhea"! For the longest time time I couldn't figure out why the singer would practice diarrhea! God was I stupid a few weeks ago........

but I DO practice diarrhea
