In the song "Time of my Life" from Dirty Dancing, the song says "so we take eachother's hand, cause we seem to understand the urgency".... and I thought for the longest time that they said "we seem to understand the earth and sea." I thought it might be some kind of earthy, new age, hippie thing about understand nature because they are inlove... or vice versa.. ok maybe I just don't know anything.

Always thought that Free "Alright Now" were singing "let's move before they raise the F*cking rates" mmmmmm.

There's a line in 'White Room' by Eric Clapton which says 'Platform ticket'. I always thought it was 'Kurt Von D**khead'. Thought it was an anti Nazi statement or something like that.

My brother use to think that "Shameless" by Garth Brooks use to go ~I'm Shaving~ instead of the right lyrics going ~I'm Shameless~ he didn't figure out what he was saying until he was 15

A very god friend of mine used to sing "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be staling. Instead of "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing. We were coming down the highway, 3 of us and she is shouting at the top of her lungs with the radio blaring singing the wrong word. My other friend and I died laughing

still laughing

I STILL think that the All-American Rejects' song goes "Swing swing swing from a tablesaw..." (Although after reading some of these I understand it's supposed to be ...from the TANGLES OF...) yeah...

While in college a tori amous song came on the radio i couldnt figure out the words, a friend told me they were "got a big dick?" for months thats what i was singing until another friend pointed out that shes actually singing "got to be big" how mortifing is that? ;)

When I was growing up watching reruns of Gilligans Island. I would sing... Just sit right back and you'll hear a tail.. a tail of a bait boat shrimp...

highly confused but what a catchy tune

When I was about 5, I thought the lyrics to the song "Aquarius", by The 5th Dimension, said "Angels aquarium" instead of "Age of Aquarius"

When I was a kid there was a song on the radio (I think it was the Beach Boys, I don't remember the name...I do remember that the names of Caribbean islands were listed in the song) that was very popular at the time. There was a part of the song that I could've sworn said "Your butt's a rotten stink." I'd break out in laughter every time! There was another 80s-style song by a female artist that I thought said "I pooped on you" but it actually said "I'm hooked on you." I kept telling my mom that there was a song on the radio that said "I pooped on you." One day I heard it playing and pulled my mom over to the radio. When she heard it she laughed uncontrollably.

I thought the song "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash was written for my sister because I thought the lyrics in the chorus were "Charlene don't like it." My sister's name is Charlene.

Gillian

I used to think the line in Green Day's when i come around was "sell donuts at my door" instead of "so don't knock down my door"
I still think it sounds like donut.

My brother recently told me that he thought that in "Wind Beneath My Wings" the lyrics "I can fly higher than an eagle" were "I can fly higher than any gull", as in a seagull...I think the fact that he grew up amongst avid fisherman had something to do with this...

When i was little that song called"I believe in Miracles" where you from that sexy thing you.

We still laugh at that!

When my uncle was very young he suddenly stopped singing in the middle of "My Country Tis of Thee", looked at his mother and asked,"So just where IS Tis of Thee anyway?"

Carole Preble

I also used to think that the song Raspberry Barret by Prince was Round Merry Go Round. I even argued with my aunt about it.

My step sister used to believe the words to "Home On the Range" were:

"Home, home on the range, when the deer sat on the bench."

J

I used to believe that the song Sugar by Trick Daddy which really went "She put that sugar on my tongue Shes gonna Gimme gimme some
She put it right there on my tongue...." til my friend pointed out to me that i was singing it wrong, this is how i sang it:"..sugar on hot sauce, shes caught up, gimme gimme some of that sugar right there on my sauce..." well, i turned red as hot sauce when i found out that thats not actually what theyre saying...

Kelsey

my friend jenn thought that the prodigy was singing i'm a twisted fiire fighter instead of fire starter, also that oasis were singing fromage frais instead of some might say.

I was looking at this website, and I saw a belief saying,

[I used to think that the 80's song
" I wish that I had Jesse's girl"
was
"I wish that I was Jesse's girl"
and I was so confused as to why a boy would want to be Jesse's girl.
Anon]

When I read that, I thought to myself, "Wait, they DON'T say 'I wish that I was Jesse's girl?'"
Wow, I was always confused about that too!
