My friend's sister believed the lyrics to Gazza's "Fog on the Tyne" were "Fog on the dinasaurs mine all mine"

my silly roommate used to think that the lyrics to Macy Gray's song said "i blow bubbles when you are not here"... the real lyrics are "my world crumbles when you are not near"
now when i walk in the room and she's blowing bubbles, well, i know what to think.

Bubblicious

I was also a victim of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds, the girl with colitis goes by." I always thought it was weird.

When the song "Someday Out of the Blue" by Elton John came out, I loved it. Everytime it was on the radio, I would sing it as enthusiastically as possible. The only thing was that I got the chorus messed up.
The chorus actually goes:

"Someday out of the blue,
In a crowded street, or a deserted square,
I'll turn and I'll see you"

O (oh, so nobly) mis-sang:

"Someday out of the blue,
In a crowded street, or a deserted square,
I'll turn a Nazi in."

Lyrics to Prince's "When Dove's Cry"

Original: "Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied..."

What I heard (and sang alound): "Maybe I'm just like my mother, she never sat inside..."

I thought the beatles' lyric "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of mind" was "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of pie." I always wondered why he wanted pie so much.

I used to think the Toto song "Africa" said: There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do" (It should be "a hundred men or more") I was probably in my late teens before I figured this out. I'd imagine lots of these little green men standing on Mars in spacesuits trying to keep her away from him.

Weirdo

I thought the line in the song "more than a woman" was "four-legged woman".

My mates Mum used to think Paul Weller was singing about "Eating Trifles" instead of "Eton Rifles"

I was listening to a radio competition where they play part of a song and the person on the phone has to complete the lyrics, Bachman Turner Overdrive had a song out that went "Taking care of business everyday, Taking care of business everyway," They stopped the music and the caller continued "Baking carrot biscuits everyday, Baking carrot biscuits everyway."

Gary (Frankston Australia)

in the song MOVIN' ON UP from the show THE JEFFERSONS, i thought one part said: "Long sweet lips, chewing me baby, ain't nothin' wrong with that", when it really says, "Long as we live, it's you and me baby, ain't nothing wrong with that"

When I was a kid I thought Mary had a little lamb whose FLEAS were white as snow.

When I first heard Stawberry Fields Forever, I misheard the lyrics as Strawberry Fields For Trevor.

In the Beach Boy's Kokomo, instead of that Monserrat mystique....I always thought they were saying Vermont's a rotten state. I still can't bring myself to sing it correctly.

Billy Squire sang about "My Kind of Lover". My wife sang about "My Candelabra"

Wailerman

In the Prince song which goes
"I will die for you"

I always used to think it said
"Yabba Dabba Do"

So I just thought that Prince had a thing for Fred Flintstone or something

You know that song by Whodini?
That infamous chorus, "The freaks come out at night?"

Being little when it came out, I didn't really understand anything BUT that line. Except I heard "The freaks come out at nine", AKA 9:00 on the dot.

I got freaky visions of hundreds upon hundreds of Hellraiser-like creatures coming out of the misty fog down my Dead-End street, lurking around my house at 9:00 (sharp) in hopes of peeling my flesh off.
And God forbid, I'd play my radio at 9:00 with THAT song playing (Which that station played quite often when it first came out.)

So when my mum said I had to be in bed at 9:00, I didn't complain... she was just trying to protect me. She's the reason I'm still here! I wuv my mommy...

Come to find out, I'm not the only person to mishear this lyric, so now I don't feel that stupid.

Yo' girl's a freak;)

Don't let the sun go down on me'

but I heard them as

Don't let your son go down on me'

Around the time that he (CAME OUT - I guess is the politically correct terminology) admitted how gay he was, I was talking to a crazy friend of mine (Elton came out, not my friend) who knew all the Elton John lyrics from back then, and I mentioned that it was no wonder that he sang about somebody's son going down on him, and how prophetic that was, when my friend laughed hysterically and corrected my mistake. I had been happily singing along for years, thinking all the time how gay Elton John must be, Oh, well.

In the song "Youth of the Nation" by P.O.D, in the part where they say, "We are we are...the youth of the naaation!" I used to think it was, "We are we are...the euthanaaaasia!" It made sense to me because as they were a hard rock band, they would sing songs about killing people...

I have quite a few stories...

First of all, I really think the singer from The Cure needs to annunciate more, since he's been teaching kids some dirty stuff. It was one day while playing some nice music, when I hear the words,
'Yoo-hoo, soft and only, yoo-hoo, lost and lonely, yoo-hoo, you're dressed like Kevin.'
Of course, the real words are 'just like heaven'. Since the song is supposedly about a girl, I thought the song was about a cross-dresser or something. In other news, the first time I heard the song Friday I'm In Love, I could have SWORN he was singing 'Friday, I'm a bra'.

Next! The song Sexyback by Justin Timberlake - I used to think 'get your sexy on' was 'get your sexy towel'. Sounds like that. And Say It Right by Nelly Furtado...I could have sworn that 'from my hands, I could give you, something, that I made' was actually 'from my PANTS, I could give you, something, that I made...'
And the line after that one (same song, Say It Right), it sounds like 'from my mouth' is 'from my bowel'.

And The Clash. They have dirty minds too. Times a thousand. On the album London Calling, there's a song called Spanish Bombs. The little lyrics booklet says the words are 'oh, oh, oh mah corazon' but when I hear it it, no matter how hard I try, I can't hear anything else but 'oh, oh, oh Madonna thong'.

Give this belief a thumbs-up if you think I have a serious hearing problem.
