back in the late 60's, my friend was singing along with Shelley Fabares' record "Johnny Angel", but she was seriously singing the words "Johnny's in jail, and I love him..."! We tried our best to convince her that's not how the song goes!

"Shaniquah"

Heres our versions of some Bee Gees songs
1) More than a woman -Bald headed woman
2)Night Fever-nice beaver
and the line in Staying Alive, where they sing 'its alright, its okay.....
we sang 'Its alright, its okay, you make love the other way'

But my friend had us laughing when she misheard the lyrics to the spice girls '2 become 1' the bit that goes 'I had a little love, now I'm back for more' she sings ' I had a little dove, now he's splattered on the floor' mad or what?

John, Bolton

The first time I heard Jammin, by Marley, I was in a very fast car with the windows down. And I since I didn't know the name of the song, I thought that he was saying Vagina, when in fact he was saying Jammin'.

I hope you like vagina too.

i've been friends with my friend since we were both in diapers. her mom would always listen to music in the car. there was this one song, i dunno who its by, but it goes "goin to the chapel and we're gonna get married". for the longest time, i thought the lyrics went "goin to the checkbook and we're gonna get buried". it wasnt until i went to a wedding reception when i was 13 that my cousin corrected me.

Buried with the checkbook..

Ya know that song "Independent women" or something like that by Destinies Child well i always thought it was "the shoes on my feet i garted the clothes im wearing i farted the car im driving i farted cuz i dependent on it!" and for a long time i kept thinking why would you depend on your farts to get you stuff? but then again anyone who make a song called "bootylicious" probably would depend on farting to make them rich.

A mate of mine used to think that the Lyric from Jamiroquai's 'canned heat'
'ive got canned heat in my heels tonight baby'
was in fact:
'ive got candy in my ears tonight baby'
this was about 3 years agao and now he's a scientist. oh dear.

One day a friend of a friend came around to our house and said "I really love that song 'Wopupafarbu'.None of us knew which song she meant and we were so puzzled that we asked her to sing it to us. It transpired that she actually meant the old early house music song "Pump up the volume"

when i was a kid in the 80's i thought it was hush hush, keep it down now, don't tell gary. instead of keep it down now voices carry. and even watching the video i would think, that gary is such a jerk. aahhh i hate that gary. i didn't realize it until maybe 4-5 years ago. go figure?

When I was little my sister was singing the Macy Gray song that goes "I try to say goodbye an i choke, i try to walk away and i stumble". But only since a year ago i had always sung,"I try to walk away and i flamboke!!!" Dont ask me why!?!?!

When I first heard Aerosmith's "Just push play" I thought he said "I just turned gay" I was like, how did you just figure that out? lol

I used to think that the lyrics for AC/DC's "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" were "Dirty deeds in the Dunder Jeep." I thought the "dunder jeep" was a cross between a jeep and a dune buggy, and pictured these people driving around in it committing crimes. I don't think I realized the proper lyrics until I was almost 20.

I thought "Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy" was Maresie doats and dozie doats and little lambsie divey. I just figured it out about 5 years ago and I'm 54. Little slow on the uptake!

Simon and Garfunkle "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" says:
You dont have to be coy Leroy

I thought it said:
You dont have to be corduroy (like the pants or the kids book)

Remember the song "Dirty Deeds"? I used to sing it "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". When the song came on the radio last year, I asked my husband what on earth they were saying because by then I figured out that maybe "Thunder Chief" didn't make much sense. I still sing it wrong.

Another one: "Hey little thing let me light your candle 'cause momma I'm sure I'm Don Henley now".

Me and my friends were making fun of the song "Collide". and instead of singing "When you and I... Collide" we would sing, "When you and I... and Clyde" Well, my one friend sang it that way when she was listening to it on the radio with her mom, and now her mom thinks that's how it goes, so now her mom sings about clyde all the time!

When I was young, naive, and didn't know every rock band smoked something I thought "Don't fear the reaper" was "Don't feel the reefer."

Stupid reefer...

i had always known that jesse mccartney's song was called "beautiful soul", but somehow i never made the connection...i always thought that he sang "i want you and you're beautiful, so..." i like the song but why the so? i just figured out like a week ago that it's "your beautiful soul".

look at the title!
