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

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. ;)

Optional

Until I was about 10, I was convinced that the song "Auld Lang Syne" was about doing things "for the sake of Old Man's Eye".

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...

Kat

In the song "all star" by smashmouth, theres a line which says "she was looking kinda dumb wth her finger and her thumb" till today i thought it was "she was looking kinda dumb with her finger IN her thumb"
that made no sense atall :D

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!

Anon

'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.

You know that song from the 80's, I can't remember what is was called, but the chorus sang "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you". Well I swore, being 7 years old, that he was singing, "Everyttime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you". I just didn't understand what it had to do with meat!

Hot Chocolate you sexy thing
I thought they said
" I believe in Malcom "

Sarah

I used to believe that the Diana Ross(?) song 'my simple heart' was bicycle hop. I thought it must be a sort of dance.

Meg

I grew up in Whitestone, New York. When Glenn Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" would come on the radio, I would sing "I'm a Whitestone cowboooooy....!" much to the chagrin of my mother.

Jen

I always thought that, in that song in Flashdance that goes "Take your passion and make it happen, the lryics went "Take your pants down and make it happen." I got this from my uncle, who used to sing it jokingly, though I didn't know that at the time, when I was very little. I thought this until I was around 13.

Mike Welch

I used to think that a line in a song by Depeche Mode was "Jesus took a pee in the grass." In actually says "Someone to be opressed."

jessica

When I was very young my brother and I used to believe the song by Linda Ronstadt "It's so easy to fall in love" went: "It's so wee-wee to fall in love". We called it the "wee-wee" song and loved singing along with it as loudly as possible whenever it was on the radio. I think Mum and Dad must've thought it was pretty funny because they never corrected us.

sal

When our daughters were little and were singing Jingle Bells when they got to the part of the "one horse open sleigh. one had put in with "a horse with a broken leg" and the other had" a horse with soap on his leg."

Tinkle-Wink

My nephew 'piggy' thought he knew all the words to Meatloafs 'Bat out of Hell', when it came to the words "then like a sinner, before the gates of heaven" came out as "like a swimmer, before the gates of devon" .bless.
