When I first heard Perpetual Widow by Tori Amos- I thought " It's gotta be big" was really "Saggy tits" and "scabby pig"

Reading through the misheard lyrics page, I just found out the correct lyrics for something I've misheard for years!

Every time I heard the Pearl Jam song "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun," I swear I heard "Hot, Fly Virgins and a Belly Gun."

It drove me nuts when that song came on because I could not understand what the hell Eddie was talking about! I was sure it was Pelicans or Femme-bots

I used to think that Metallica's "exit night, enter light" was "Amstel Light, Amstel Light, walk in never never land" I thought it was a song about getting tanked and having good times!

Similarly to another post here, I thought the lyrics to Madonna's 'Erotic' were 'hey Ronnie, hey Ronnie, put your hands all over my body'. I didn't realise until a couple of years ago what they actually were (I'm 17 now).

the other day my boyfriend and his friend were in the car and we heard the Who's Eminence front and when it goes : Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on. My boyfriend and his friend started singing : "from behind ram it in the butt." They both have always thought the words said that...now we sing it like that

There was a song in the 90's. I don't remember the band but in the chorus, it said "I'm standing by you". I was pretty young then and I loved to watch ice-skating. I used to think the singer said, "Oksana Baiul". I always wondered why he was singing about a skater.

my brother used to think that Manfred man sung "ha ha Santa Claus" instead of "ha ha said the clown"
quite rude to laugh at Santa, I thought he would find nothing in his stocking ...

I always thought Celine Dion, in"It's All Coming Back to Me Now," sang..."It was more than all your lousy love." Now I realize she sings, "It was more than all your laws allow." I thought she was just rude !!!

i used to think the Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like A Lady" was "Do the Slacky Lady"

for the longest time i thought that the song "lady in red" was "baby and bread".....i was embarrassed when i was singing it and my mother told me the real words! she still teases me about it.

A friend of mine was singing the song by Gabrielle from the Bridget Jones film, except she was merrily singing away 'Valerieeeee' instead of 'Out of reach', i don't know if she thought that was what Bridget liked to be called at the weekend.

my nan used to think that Elton John's song which goes "Cold cold hearts..." went "Coco hearts.." and she thought that "coco" was some Native American lover of his!!

hoover

I always thought that the words to the song yellow taxi were "they paved paradise, and put up a fucking lot" I was really puzzled when I heard this on the radio and it wasn't censored, until I realized the actually words

I used to think that a song 'Venus' by Frankie Avalon said....

"Hey Penis, Oh, Penis
Penis if you will..."

My roommate and I though the chorus of Beck's song "Loser" was "So, open the door..." when the correct line was "Soy un perdedor" hehe!

The Patient

i cant remember the name of the song but the actual lyrics are 'and watch the sun come up on the santa monica boulevard' (i think) and for years i thought it was 'and watch the sun come up in santa clauses couple of bars'

R.E.M.'s Its the End of the World As We Know It went
"A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies"
But I heard it, until a few days ago as
"A turn of mints, a turn of mints, a turn of mints applies"
