When Mariah Carey's "Be Mine Again" came out, I was quite the confused one...

The real lyrics go...

"It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm accountable for what went bad... and I mean that..."

I heard something quite different that went like this...
..."It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm a cannible for what went bad... (She said I'm accountable very fast.)

My cousin (7) heard what I heard and asked me if she was a cannible, and for some reason, she thinks the songtress is scary... don't know where THAT came from... after hearing that misheard bit, she must've had nightmares of her chaising her around with a chainsaw.

Mariah Wants your Brains...

There's this song by Avril Lavigne and i think it's called suddenly or how does it feel or something. The chorus was "How does it feel to be different from me, are we the same?" but i thought it went "How does it feel to be different from me, we weigh the same.

When ever I heard the song "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, I would sing along to it as "R-E-S-P-E-C-P" It was close, save for that last letter, but for the longest time I could not get the lyrics correct and everytime my mom and older sister would laugh at me for it.

There's this church group called EFY that I listened to a lot. One of their songs is called 'We Believe.' One verse of it, in the chorus, is 'We believe in obedience ringing the bell of the free..." For several years, I thought it was 'We believe in the beady ants ringing the bell of the free', and I sang it like that every time. Finally one day I had a breakthrough.

O, Beady Ants...

My 14-year old sister always sing "In the jungle, the LION jungle ...", no matter how many times we tell her it's MIGHTY jungle, she keeps getting it wrong.

I used to think these were the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland":

In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is charlie brown.
He'll say are you Mary we'll say no man,
but you can do the job when youre in town.

I used to picture Charlie brown dressed up like Mary in little house on the prarie. Hahah.

I was just in a clothing store yesterday and they were playing music. I don't remember what songs were being played, but I misheard the lyrics and it took me a while to find out what they were really singing.

The first one had the lyrics "Always by my side". I misheard it as "Olives by my side"

The second song had the lyrics "Gonna blow your mind" but I misheard it as, "Donut girl, you're mine"

when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D

When I first heard Shania Twain's song, "Whose bed have your boots been under", I sang it like this... "Ooh babe, baby boo bay bunger"!

I had no idea.....

AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds (Done Dirty Cheap)" -- I always thought it was "Dirty Ds and the Thunder Chief".

Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" -- for some reason I thought Bob was singing, "The ants, my friend, the ants are blowing in the wind". Hmm..

I've got two songs that I misheard the lyrics to. One is Anthrax's "Belly of the Beast". When the singer sings "You shovel your conscience into the grave", I believed for the longest time that he was singing "You show your prostitute to the grave". (??)
The other one is Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".
Real lyrics:"Dance like marionettes, swing to the Symphony of Destruction."
Misheard Lyrics: "Dance like a million ants, sing to the symphony of destruction." [:) I was weird.

There was a version of the song "Sing" that echoed the English lyrics with Spanish. I used to sing, much to the enjoyment of my Spanish-speaking friends, "Sing- Canta. Sing a song- Canta oompa sanchone!"

In James Taylor's version of How Sweet It Is, I used to think he was singing - With sweet love and abortion, deeply touching my emotion.

When I was little, around 2 or 3, Nirvana's "Come As You Are" was pretty popular. For parts of the song, he sings "Memory-a". Well, my dad, being the clever guy he is, told me he was actually saying "Amberina" My name is Amber, and I always thought he was singing about me. It wasn't until I was about 12 or 13 when I looked up the lyrics and learned the truth.
I like my version better

Amberina

The the song The Great Escape I got the lyrics very wrong. It goes Paper bags & plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye,
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
& make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

How ever I though it went
Paper bags and plastic hearts
Everybody in shopping carts
Goodbye
But we fight
Lets get drunk and drive around
and make peace with a empty clown
we can make it right
Throw it away foget yesterday
we'll make the great escape
we wont hear a word they say
they dont know us anyway
watch a bird
let it die
we are finally free tonight.

I think i like my lyrics better, at least the part about the bird...

Let the bird die..

My colleague thinks that the Catherine McFee song "so over it" is "So OVERWEIGHT" and she's just turned 30 something! Ha ha

For years I thought that the chorus to the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams" was "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Venus" -not Sweet Dreams are made of this

I thought that Ac/Dc song, "You Shook Me All Night Long" was "You Shoot Me All Night Long." I figured out the song was about sex, but I thought "shoot me" was a slang that I just hadn't heard yet.

I used to think the van halen song was "cannonball" later to be found out by EVERYBODY that it was "panama" how embarrassing...
