Someone else has mentioned this simon and garfunkel song, but I misheard the line "come-on from the whores on seventh avenue" as "come home from the war-zone, seventh avenue".

I thought that maybe seventh avenue was some kind of gang-ruled area or at least a big, ruthless financial quarter.

It makes more sense now I know it's about whores but I feel embarrassed for always singing it at the top of my voice!

I used to think Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" went "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I'd probably mess around with another man"......instead of "I'm going down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messing around with another man".

When I was little I used to think that the Sheena Easton song "Morning Train" went like this: "My baby takes the morning drink, he works from 9 to 5 and then, he takes another home again to find me waiting for him . . . " My parents used to die laughing as I strolled around the house singing at the top of my lungs. I always took offense, never knowing why it was so funny.

when I was younger i thought in "Blinded by the light"
said
"wrapped up like a dutchman of the rotor in the night",
instead of "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

AC/DC dirty deeds...well i thought it was "Dirty knees....un-der-neath! Dirty knees and dere underneath..."
(it's really "Dirty deeds...done dirt cheap"..)

is that a smiting offence?

My mother believed for many years that in "Bohemian Rapsody" the line "spare him his life from this monstrosity" was "spare him his life for his one sausagey". She also thoust that "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" was "Beelzebub has a devil for a side-board-ee".

My boyfriend thought that the Leann Womack song entitled "I Hope You Dance" went "I love you Dan". It was the funniest thing I have ever heard

When I was about 4, my dad would play travis tritt songs all the time. There is a song (T-R-O-U-B-L-E) I thought he was saying "tea all over you baby)

Jerrica

That song that goes "Please don't go. Don't go. I'm begging you to stay." when I was little I thought he was saying "Read the book. The book! I'm begging you to say."

a lil boy told me the words to the Zephyer song by the Chilis was "fly away on my surf board"

i was at a Barenaked Ladies concert, (it's not what you think, they're all guys and the name is just a joke)with my dad. we were sitting parallel to the band and rather far away. In one of their songs, "Helicopters" i believe, the repeatedly sing the lyrics "I'll be leaving soon, yeah I'll be leaving soon" my dad thought it was "I believe in silk" when we got home my mom asked how the concert was and my dad just said: "It was really good. BEtter than i thought it would be. But what the heck is "I believe in silk?"

I used to think that in the Britney Spears song Everytime that when she said "i see your face, you're haunting me" that she was saying "i see your face, you're f***ing me"

Silly Girl

in the offspring song "bad habit" they say "take him out" kind of muffled. my friends and i always used to think it sounded more like "drink your milk" and wrote a corresponding parody.

My 2 daughters thought the words were "two Pop Tarts" when they were actually "two of hearts", around 1990, by (I think) Tiffany.

"Shaniquah"

When I first heard Culture Club, I thought the title of the song was: "Become a Comedian".

After hearing a Robbie Williams song, i cant remember which one it was, i was most confused. 'Shake your ass, come over here' in my mind somehow turned into 'shake your askum over here' I was so confused until I finally plucked up the courage and asked my mum what an askum was. she started laughing hysterically. Then I realised. Im still teased.

A friend in high school used to think the Top Gun song by Kenny Loggins was "Highway to the Danger Shower" - really.

As a child I just loved Pink Floyd's "Another brick in the wall" One time, my big brother told me they didn't sing "We don't need no education", but "no ejaculation". I was very confused about what kind of pervent band they are...

When the Rolling Stones first came out with the song 'Angie' I thought they were singing 'I ain't dead, I ain't dead'. Just try it - you might think so too!
