When I used to listen to Marit Larsen before, I thought she were singing 'Don't save me, I'll save you this ass-hole'
When she actually where singing 'Don't save me, I'll save you the hassle' .. ehh xD

My name?

When my brother was younger, he thought the chorus to billy ray cyrus' 'Burn down the trailer park' was 'burn down the tranamar' .. we never did have the heart to correct him, to this day im preetty sure he still sings it like that.

I used to believe that the Chumbawumba song 'Amnesia' said "Do you soccer punch long-term memory loss?" when it was actually "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?" My father heard me sing it once and laughed so hard he cried... and still wouldn't tell me the correct lyrics.

I can't help but to crack up every time I think of my best co-worker friend running around the resturant singing( Paul Simons song?)" What are you gonna do when your' LIPS' are gone"! I believe the right word is "LOOKS"!

When my sister was about 6 (she's 10 now), the George Strait song, "Cross My Heart" came on, and she started out with the lines "Our love is untraditional" (the real word is "unconditional"), and I thought it was hysterical. I think it should be sung that way as an anthem for alternative lifestyles.

For years I happily sang along to George Michael's careless whisper with real gusto "I'm never gonna dance again, can't you see I've got no rhythm" until I heard my auntie belting out I'm never gonna dance again, these two feet have got no rhythm" after much disagreement as to who's version was correct we discovered that we were both wrong and it is in fact guilty feet have got no rhythm. We still stick to our own versions though as we prefer them. If that wasn't bad enough I used to love the line in Micheal Jackson's You are not alone which goes: I can hear your prayers, Your burgers are the best.

I was disappointed when I eventully learned the real lyrics as I thought mine was better.

When I was in elementary school we used to listen to 60's 70's and 80's songs and I thought the lyrics for "Hey Mickey" were "you take me by the paw when you take me by the hand instead of "you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand"

Megan

For years I thought the lyrics to "Everything Zen" by Bush were "Trotsie wants my wine" instead of "Try to see it once my way".

LA

As a big Culture Club fan, I often get lyrics mixed up.
Take for example Miss Me Blind:
Bet you got a good gun
Bet you know how to have some fun and then
You turn it around on me because
I'm better than the rest of the men

I heard it as:
Bet you got a good bun
Bet you know how to have some fun in bed...

I figured that it was just another song about Jon Moss and his buns.

Up until very recently (I'm now 25) I thought the line in the song Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison was ' going down on the old man with a transister radio' .....the line is actually ' going down the old mine with a transister radio'......obviously it didn't make sense when I was little, but when I was a teenager I just accepted what I thought I had heard and came to the conclusion that Van Morrison was just plain dirty.

Teresa

Blind Melon's "No Rain"---

"You know I'd like to keep my chi extracted, eh." instead of "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today." Still hear it every time.

I used to believe that there were words to the song Colonel Bogie's March. The song that is whistled in the Breakfast Club. My father told me the words were: "Horsepoo, it makes the grass grow green" repeated over and over

Anon

I thought for ages that the line "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" in Bohemian Rhapsody was actually "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard, meeeeeee"

Eleanor

There's a song by "The Jam" which contains the lyric "I lost an era daydreaming like I do". I thought they were singing "I lost an ear a day, dreaming like I do".
It sounds exactly the same either way.

Wee Shughie

I used to believe that the song that said, "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" said, "every time you go away, you take a piece of 'meat' with you"

There's a song by Kenny Rogers that goes "take my hand, let's go through this door..." (at least that's what I think he's saying). For the longest time, I thought he was singing "let's go through the store". I wondered which store could it be. I also thought of that line every time I walked into the grocery store.

TxTetley

I used to think the Tom Jones song "A Boy from Nowhere" was called...."A Boy From Norway"! I felt flattered - being Norwegian....

Steinar (OGAE)

I can't listen to the Credence song Loki the same way since a friend told me what he grew up thinking the lyrics were.
In his mind the line "...I'm stuck in Loki again", became "...I'm sucking on old diaphragms". Brings a smile to my face everytime II hear the song.

Grant

My friend used to think that the line in Alanis Morrisette's "ironic" said "it's like a death-row hard-on, two minutes too late". When told her it was actually "death-row pardon" the line made a lot more sense, but now I can't think of that line any other way

Christina

For a long time, I thought the lyric
"Blowing thru the jasmine in my mind" from _Summer Breeze_ by Seals and Crofts was "Blowing through the jazz mounds in my mind." I always would wonder what the heck a "jazz mound" was.
