i used to think the line from the song went "going to the jack-o-lantern" instead of "going to the chapel and we're" gonna get married from the Dixie Cups early 60's song, Chapel of Love.

I used to sing the first stanza of "Oh, Beautiful" like so:
"Oh, Beautiful for spaceship eyes..."

I have no idea how aliens got in there?!

My husband used to believe that in Juice Newton's song "Angel of the Morning" she sang "just touch my teeth before you leave me". Pretty revolting - the real words "touch my cheek" conjures up a more romantic image!

Since I never knew the words to the National Anthem, I thought the words were: "Hose can you See..." That's what it sounded like until I asked my mother who Hose was. She laughed and said it's "Oh Say can you see..."

Julie

I used to think Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" went: "the dogs are gathered in the classroom"; original: "the dark sarcasm in the classroom"

In the song Dimples, by John Lee Hooker, the actual line (he sings it very gravelley and deep) is "You've got dimples in your jaw" ...even now however, I can still only hear what I mistakenly first thought it was..."You've got devils in your dog"... it just sounds like that OK!

Andy - Uk

believing that songs always had to have a sense i turned the chorus "i am blue -la da dee la da da" of the europop song "blue" that was a hit (in germany) 3 years ago or so) into "i am blue - i am the other guy" and thought it was about a guy who had just been left by his girlfriend. my singing skills being rather bad no one could recognize the song when i asked til finally i had coffee with a friend on his balcony and the wind carried the song to us from an open window. i jumped and said that's the song - we had a good laugh and a very funny afternoon. word of mouth made it that all my friends call me now "the other guy".

When I was a kid I thought the song Footloose by Kenny Loggins contained the line "you're burnin urine in a croissant."

When the song "Dumb" of Nirvana came out, my friend Pedro used to think that the final parts of the lyrics was Kurt Cobain repeting "Africa No", and he started to think Nirvana were racists on that song, when, actually Kurt Cobain was singing "I Think I'm Dumb".

When my son was small, whwnever the Kenny Rogers song "Lucille" came on the radio he would say..I hate that song!..one day I asked why & he said..cause his wife left him with 400 children ^ crops in the field!!..the lyrics are.... 4 hungry children...I'll never forget that to this day!!

To the BeeGee's Night Fever - for years I thought the lyrics were "In ninety-ninety-nine, we'll know how to do it..." instead of "Night Fever, Night Feee-verr..."
I just assumed they were singing about the millenium party

George

i used to think sting's song, the one that went "i'm an alien, an illegal alien, im an englishman in new york" said "i'm a jamaican in new yorK".. funny he didnt sound jamaican to me....

When I was fairly young, (probably around 5) I used to think the lyrics to the Madonna song "Express Yourself" were: "Make music, slap your dead baby"...imagine my parents suprise when they heard me singing those lyrics as apposed to the real ones: "Make him express himself, baby"

Kelly

I used to think that the really old song lyric "You're not the only one with mixed emotions" was "You're not the only one who lives in the ocean," until one day my mom was in the same room as me and it was on the radio. I started singing it and she laughed at me and corrected me...

Darlin

My auntie Karen used to think that the lyrics to Adam & the Ants 'Prince Charming' was in fact 'Drink Champagne'
Also in the song 'Happy birthday' by Altered Images the lyrics 'if I were you - if I were you' were in fact 'Irish stew - Irish stew'.
Absolutely hilarious !!!!!!!!!

cole

Singing along with Kenny Rodgers' "Lucille", I sang "400 children and a crop in the field". After Mom stopped laughing, she said "No wonder she left!".

wierdoslam

I used to think the lyrics to Sade's song, "Smooth Operator" were: "Fool of the red eye" instead of smooth operator. But hey, she's hard to understand sometimes!

This one belongs to my dear old dad. This occurred years ago, when the group "Fine Young Cannibals" was popular (in the 80's). Anyway, he thought their song "Good Thing" was called "Guilty" and he used to sing "Guilty" really loud while we were in the family van! What a goober!

Denise

my 5 yr. old neice thinks that the song Senorita, by Justin Timberlake goes " senorita if feel for you, you feel a face that you don't have to."
When it is actually, " You deal with things that you don't have to. "
She just sang it a laughed so hard.

ADR

me and a friend of mine used to think that the lyrics to the
darkness'song 'i believe in a thing called love' were:
i believe in a thing called love, just suck into the rhythm of my car instead of:
i believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart....
we still sing it our way!
