In the Green Day song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," when the singer says, "Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me," I thought he said "Sometimes I wish a grizzly bear will find me."

when i was young i thought that the AC/DC song dirty deeds was "dirty Dees and the Thunder Chief"
about a bad guy called dirty dees who got in trouble with god.

I think it was either me or my sister that used to sing Baa Baa black sheep with these alternative lyrics;
And one for the little boy who lived down the DRAAAAAYN!

I though the lyrics to Paul Simon's Call Me Al went:
I can call you baby,
Ready when you call me
You can call me out.
In stead of:
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
It seemed to make sense at the time!

I used to believe that during "The Star Spangled Banner"
that instead of 'by the dawn's early light' it would say,
'by the donnzerrli light' like it was a place or something!

when my brother was little, he used to watch the old fashioned peter pan that was basically recorded on a sound stage. there was a song that the pirates sang, and he always believed the lyrics were as follows:

"a yo ho ho a went to show
to mere the steak
so-
it's dangerous to eat"

and he would sing this over and over and over with a fake hook on his hand pretending he was captain hook. i can't believe i still remember the song.

Okay up until like, 4 minutes ago, I thought the theme song to Full House went: "the milkman, the paper boy, even MTV." But apparently it really goes "the milkman, the paperboy, evenin' TV. Oopsie. my bad!

MTV Junkie

In the Gorrilaz song "Clint Eastwood", I thought he sang
"I'm happy,
Feelin' glad
I got sunshine
Inabye (::whatever that means::)
I got new slides
But not for long
The future is comin' on."

"When it actually goes like,
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad.
I got sunshine in a bag.
I'm useless, but not for long.
My future is comin' on."

Just discovered this two minutes ago...

In the song Am I Wrong by Brand New I thought they said:
"And my night forget a spoon"
But actually they said:
"With a knife, fork and a spoon"
It makes more sense, but I don't get why they say that...

Maryse

in the song "sugar" by system of a down:
i thought "the kombusha mushroom people sitting around all day" was "sitting on razor blades", and a friend of mine thought "yeah they call it insane" was "in the coloring sea"

SillyRabbit

In the Song "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", I thought that they were saying "It took awhile to get me here
And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that goose s*** in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind"

But it was actually "don't fight that good s*** in your ear

The Robert Palmer song "Addicted to Love" I misheard it as " might as well accept it, your a dickhead to love"

Rob, Bootle

In "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe I thought they said:
"And she's full of rice, no"
But they actually say:
"And a shoe full of rice, no..."

Also in "Savin' me" by Nickelback I thought they said:
"'Cause I am Bass and I own my soul"
But they actually say:
"These iron bars can't hold my soul in"

Maryse

There is a song that goes "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a parking lot". When I heard it, I misheard it al "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a f***ing lot. I asked my dad how they could play such a vulgar song on the radio and in malls, unbleeped. He just looked at me funny. Now I know why!!

Peter Porker-Spider-Ham

The first time my mate played me the slipknot song "people = shit" he didnt tell me the name of the song. Consequently when it came to the chorus i thought he was saying "people who eat horse shirts!"

My boyfriend's seven-year-old daughter was singing "Do the Funky Lady!" to Aeosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." So funny!

I was listening to the New Found Glory song "Sonny" - it talks about a person who has died and I heard one line that said "pictures fade away, coz never means forever." This line really impacted me - I thought it was a really clever way of putting it, because when someone dies the thing that hurts the most is that you will never see them again, and that means for forever! I was very disappointed to learn that it was actually "pictures fade away, but memories forever..."

My younger sister used to sing a line in Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville "stepped on a pop tart" rather than "stepped on a pop top."

Anon

I used to think that the BeeGees song "staying alive" said "stay in the light"

Anon

Y'know that Alien Ant Farm song that came out a few years ago, called 'Smooth Criminal?' Well, I never learned what the chorus actually said, but I was not the only one who thought it sounded very much like 'Anna, are you OK, are you OK, are you OK Anna?'
Now as it happens, my name is Anna. + I soon got v. sick of people asking me if I was OK repeatedly.

I'm fine, thanks!
