There's a song that goes "for the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were only freshmen." I was so confused by this when I was little because I thought they were saying "I cannot believe we'd ever die, forty cents, we were only freshmen."

In the song "All These Things That Ive Done" by The Killers i thought the line was "my erection, well it comes and goes.."

its actually "my affection, well it comes and goes" (!)

when i was younger like junior high school i was really into music and i would make lyric books for my fave songs, I would hand write the lyrics in a notebook...etc. well in the song achy breaky heart by billy ray cyrus in the verse that say myself already knows im not okay (i could not make out this line at all) so i asked my moms help....we came to the conclusion it say "a seperated nose is not ok" LMAO!

Until a couple of months ago i used to think the song "girls on film" was "girls on wheels" why? i dunno!

In the Take that song (originally by the Beegees) 'How Deep Is Your Love' ..there the line "And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love"

i thought "and its me you need to show" was " and you really need to shutup!!!"

I used to think the part in Madonna's "music" that goes, "music makes the bourgeiouse and the rebel..." actually went "Music makes the bushwa plebes have the rhythm..yea" I didn't know what "plebo" meant back then but now i do, so that makes it alot more funny now..
lol.

I used to think the words of Musical Youth's song "Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side" were "Arzy dodgy on the left-hand side".

In r.e.s.p.e.c.t by aretha franklin i thoguth instead of 'take care, TBC' i thought she was singing about TCP! you know the anticeptic stuff, i don';t know why i thought she was singing about it but i don't know what TBC is anyways.

When I was 3 I heard a song (I forget what it's called but I still hear it all the time) and I thought it said "I don't wanna weigh too much for the weigher."

I was about 15 when the song Video Killed the Radio Star was hot. I could not understand what this song was all about. Of course, I knew what a radio star was, because i had astronomy as a hobby. And a video was a device to record tv shows.
The English lyrics were truely incomprehensible to me, although at the time i accepted the fact that it's ok for lyrics not to make much sence.

I used to think that "Dancing queen" by the BeeGees went like this:
Dancing Bean, fell the touch of my tangerine!

oops.

I always thought that the song was "Better days of fire" until a cover version came out a couple of years ago, then I found out it was "Bette Davis Eyes"


If there could be better day to have a fire...

I used to think that "Here Comes the Hotstepper - Murderer" - went "Here comes the Hotstepper - Girl A Rock"!!!

And that it was "Boogie with the night" not "Boogie Wonderland"

And many more!

Remember the song "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Base?
I remember when it was really popular (I was in 2nd grade at the time.) I used to think that the title was "I SMELL the Sign". I even have a clip on VHS of me singing it that way!
I am still made fun of about this....
I also thought the name of the band was Ace-a Base and it was the main singer's name. Ha!

When I first heard about the record "Tea for the Tillerman" (by Cat Stevens??? I don´t know) I thought it was "Teeth for the Tillerman"...

I believed for 2 years that the chorus of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters was "I love Vanessa, turn my world around!" Actually the real words are "I'm a different person, yeah, turned my world around". Sometimes the lyrics of dance tracks can be hard to understand. Too much bass beat!

In "Dammit" by Blink182, I thought that it was not "this is growing up", but "sis is growing up"!

My friend and I loved going to hockey games, They played Cotton Eye Joe a lot, and we loved that song so much. One time at a party we went up to sing it on kareoke and we were really shocked that it was "If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe" and not "Vaydodden veence a Cotton Eye Joe".

I used to believe that the lyrics from Chaple of love by the beach boys where:
"goin to the jackolantern, gonna get married" , instead of
"Going to the chapel And were gonna get married"

I don't remember this, but according to my parents, one Christmas my sister and I went around giving out "Herald Angel Rings," because we thought those were the words to "Hark! The Herald Angel sings!"
