I used to think that in The Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville" they actually sang, "Last train to cocksville". Ew...

Citizen of cocksville

i was probably 6 when i heard that song by rolling stones, taking care of buisness, i used to think they were saying taking care of bisquits. everytime my parents hear it now, theyre reminded of that.

"I'm blue, I'm a bee on a slide..."

Can anyone guess what song that is? Personally I think it makes more sense that the real lyrics!

Also..."I'm a burger and I'm sitting on a piece of cod..." (A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold)

IT MAKES SENSE!!!

In Celene Dions song, i think it was called 'think twice' i thought instead of
"it won't stop that sun & rain"
My little probably 8 or 9 year old brain heard
" it won't stop that sodding rain!"

It's sodding snowing here

Me and my cousin used to think the lyrics to the song 'Blue' by Eiffel 65 were: "I mooed at the heat of the night."

Good times, good times.

Wrong lyrics to a song, "Faith" by "George Michael.

I heard:

Oooooh, you gotta half-faint.....you gotta half-faint a faint a faint.


(Oooooh, you gotta have faith, ... you gotta have faith a faith a faith.)...

Oh used to think that song that went 'paved paradise, put up a parking lot', went 'crave paradise, to put up with f*ck in life'. I was apalled when I heard my mom singing it in the car.

Also, that Justin Timberlake songs (cry me a river) that goes 'The damage is done so I guess I'll be leaving', I thought it was, 'The jammy jee jones so I guess I'll be leaving'. Dunno where I got that from.

Toto

in the song Im Blue I used to think the lyrics were, "im blue, i believe i would die, i believe i would die, i believe i would die..."

i thought, "those are odd lyrics."

When I was little I loved the song "What kind of fool do you think I am?"These words are the chorus...My take on the song you ask?I sang it,What kind of food do you think I am?The sad part?I sang it this way until I was 11.

In the song "Honest workers" I thought it was ""Day by day Baba Yaga feels she's coming free..."
Real lyrics: "Day by day, hour by hour, feels he's coming free..."
Creepy. ;)

In the Christina Aguilera song "Candyman", a guy in the beginning sings, "Tarzan and Jane were swinging on a vine, sipping on a bottle of vodka double wine". It's rather hard to understand, so I always sang it as, "da da da day, swinging on the side. Sitting, lala, your mom's a double wide."

I don't know what the real lyrics are or even what the title of the song is, but I do know that my misheard lyrics are probably not the right ones:

"Every morning there's an alligator hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed!"

Somebody get this freakin' alligator away from me!

Knights in White Satin - what a beautiful song! I imagined many knights and their ladies, all dressed in white satin, of course, dancing to its tune. When I learned the song was called Nights in White Satin, though, the lyrics made a lot more sense to me.

in bohemian rhapsody, there's a lyric

"Be-elzebub, has a devil put aside for me"

In my defense, it does sound quite a lot like

"Beelzebub, has a devil of a sideboard whee!"

my brother used to always think Somebodys watching me was... 'im on a speed boat, somebodys watching me' instead of 'i always feel like somebodys watching me'

You know the song "move along" by the All-American Rejects?
Part of the chorus goes like this:
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

Well, my son heard this song except he thought instead of singing "move along" they were singing "mow the lawn."

Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through

He didn't understand why anybody would write a song encouraging people to mow the lawn.

I used to think that the Tori Amos song "Professional Widow" with the lyrics "Come close to my lips, it's gotta be big" was "Come close to my lips, salivate"

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".

I used to think that in the song "Bad to the Bone'', that he would say:
on the day I was born
the nurses all gathered clowns
and gazed in white thunder
at the boy they had found
(here is where I could not understand the words and just sang jibberish)
tut tut butt butt
seleeze alee ohco
they could tell right away...
I still don't know what the guy was actually saying.

When I was five or six, my brother always used to listen to Guns N' Roses, and in Welcome to the Jungle I thought they were saying:

"Welcome to the jungle, we've got lemonade"

lmao
