Ok, I was in the car the other day and had UB40 on the stereo, when the song Ivory Madonna came on, my boyfriend started singing "I'm a pre-madonna!" for all these years he has thought that those were the words! LOL

I used to believe, for an embarrassingly long time, that Eric Clapton was singing about a girl who didn't like Washington state. After all, in his own words:

"She don't like, she don't like, she don't like
Spokane!"

Now of course, I now know he's actually singing about drugs, but I think my version is far funnier. ;)

Growing up, we used to go to the local waterpark on the weekends. They used to play a lot of the songs from the Beach Boys. My fathers name is Bob Brown, and I used to thing their song "Barbra Ann" was actually being sung "Bob Bob Bob, Bob Bob Brown" and that the Beach Boys had written the song about my dad and dedicated it to him. My father knew I thought this and did not tell me until i figured it out when I was 10. He had been laughing at me about it for about 6 years.

The real lyrics to the Creed song:

"I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet is so far down"

What I heard:

"I'm six feet from the edge and I kick ass. Maybe six feet is so far down"

I used to think that the Hawk Nelson song Things We Go Through when it says "He's got no sense of direction" it said "He's got a nuisance erection."

I used to be the BIGGEST Rick Springfield fan ever...and used to play his music over and over and over! One day, a little 5-year old who lived next door to me was singing outside while he was playing...the song sounded a lot like something I knew so I stopped to listen...Sure enough it was a Rick Springfield song "What Kind of Fool Am I?"...but my little guy? He was singing along quite lustily, but the words HE was singing was "What Kind of Food You Like?" I laughed for quite awhile after that...and it still makes me smile even to this day whenever I hear that song! : )

Until About 6 months ago, I thought the AC/DC song was " thirty thieves and the thunder chief" not "dirty deeds done dirt cheap." I thought it was about a group of peole who do things for you for money...get drunk and sing that at the top of your lungs in a bar and watch what happens.....

My sister and I can't be serious about song lyrics and our latest..."Slip me the beef boys and free my soul, come on and get lost in my little whole and drift away"

I've heard it that way so many time I can't hear it right anymore. Demented....umm...I'd say its a possiblity

Sherry

This is really dumb, but you know the AC/DC song 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' or whatever it was? Well I thought for about 5 years that it was 'Dirty deeds and the done for cheese' I was messed up. ;)

when i was little, i liked elton john a lot. but up until age 11 i always thought he was singing "hold me close now, tony danza." instead of "hold me closer, tiny dancer."

There's this commercial for the Drug-Free America campaign, where this cowboy is in the middle of the street playing a guitar and singing, but he's had a tracheotomy so he was using that little box that gives you a robot voice. Anyway, he's singing stuff like "you don't always die from tobacco, sometmes you just lose a lung" and then at the end he says "yippie yi yo ki-yay". I always thought he was actually saying, "Happy Holidays!"
I never really thought about the fact that it was April, and no holidays were taking place...

My Grandmother use to think the song more then a woman to me use to say Bald headed Woman

Lindsay Michelle

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

I used to think the song Cotton Eye Joe Said "where did you come from where did you go where did you go"
NOT where did you come from cotton eye Joe...

I never got where he keeps going and comming. I remember my dads friend had a party with a DJ and my dad tried to explain the whole DJ concept and sent me on my merry way to ask the poor DJ the song I wanted " Where'd you come from" which logically was the name of the song that they constantly say "where'd you come from where'd you go where'd you come from where'd you go" the best was when the guy asked me to sing it cuz he never heard of it.....yea that was bad I was like 13 lol

My dad used to listen to 80's music while painting. Once, when listening to the song, 'Voices Carry', I became convinced that the lyrics were...

Oh, I'll
Eat without you
This is scary!

After that, I refused to eat alone for a great deal of time.

I remember argueing with my Dad over the lyrics to I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats when I was 5. I thought the chorus was "I don't like money".

Barbara

I always believed that Kenny Rogers' 'Lucille' went

"you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a box of oatmeal..."

I hated oatmeal and could understand why the children were hungry!

'til very recently i thought the lyrics to the song 'everyday i write the book' were actually 'everyday i rock the boat', and that the part in madonnas like a prayer that says 'let the choir sing' was 'laugh out quietly'. doesnt make much sense but many songs dont!

i used to think that "big old jet airliner" song said "big ole ted & eliza". my best friend molly's parents were named ted and eliza so we thought it was so cool that there was a song about them.
