When I was about 12 the movie Flashdance came out and I bought the tape and memorized the entire thing. One day in the car my favorite song came on to shich the real words are "take my passion and make it happen" in reference to the dancer in the movie. My dad was listening to my version rather than the one on the radio that goes " take my pants down and make it happen." Now that I have kids and they say something cute he reminds me of this moment.

Due to the foolishness of a couple friends of mine, and my gullibility, I thought that the song "Dirty Deeds" by AC/DC actually went "Dirty deeds, done with sheep" instead of "done dirt cheap".

I used to believe that the B-52's song "Love Shack" was actually "Love Shark!"

I used to believe the lyrics to, "Secret Agent Man" were actually, "Secret Asian Man." I grew up believing most Asians were probably very secretive.

I have quite a few stories...

First of all, I really think the singer from The Cure needs to annunciate more, since he's been teaching kids some dirty stuff. It was one day while playing some nice music, when I hear the words,
'Yoo-hoo, soft and only, yoo-hoo, lost and lonely, yoo-hoo, you're dressed like Kevin.'
Of course, the real words are 'just like heaven'. Since the song is supposedly about a girl, I thought the song was about a cross-dresser or something. In other news, the first time I heard the song Friday I'm In Love, I could have SWORN he was singing 'Friday, I'm a bra'.

Next! The song Sexyback by Justin Timberlake - I used to think 'get your sexy on' was 'get your sexy towel'. Sounds like that. And Say It Right by Nelly Furtado...I could have sworn that 'from my hands, I could give you, something, that I made' was actually 'from my PANTS, I could give you, something, that I made...'
And the line after that one (same song, Say It Right), it sounds like 'from my mouth' is 'from my bowel'.

And The Clash. They have dirty minds too. Times a thousand. On the album London Calling, there's a song called Spanish Bombs. The little lyrics booklet says the words are 'oh, oh, oh mah corazon' but when I hear it it, no matter how hard I try, I can't hear anything else but 'oh, oh, oh Madonna thong'.

Give this belief a thumbs-up if you think I have a serious hearing problem.

I thought the song Hotel California by the Eagles said "Welcome to Oakdale California

I used to believe when I was a kid that the lyrics to Elton John's song "Tiny Dancer" was "Hold me closer Tony Danza" because I really liked the sitcom "Who's the Boss?" growing up. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I figured out that was wrong, and to this day I still hear "Tony Danza."

Natalie Turner

I used to believe that the song "Another one bites the dust" was "Another one rides the bus"

Emmy

The song: Village People’s “Macho Man”

Lyric: Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal,

I heard “with zesty strip and confidence,” life’s a steal instead

Lyric: He's a special person in anybody's land.

I heard, “he’s a special butt sock” in anybody’s land instead

you know the song "cheer up sleepy jean_____a daydream believer and a homecoming queen"? I thought the words were: " cheer up sweet pea gee, ______ a daydreaming beaver and I hope you are clean"

In Danity Kane's song "Damage" there's a part where one of the girls sings:

"My heart is damaged, damaged, damaged"

over & over again.

I heard "I want a sandwich, sandwich sandwich"

When Gabrelle had that 'Dreams' song in the charts (mid 90's) I thought on the chorus she sang 'Dreams can come true, I know baby I've got a liver'. I know some people write songs about a missed family member, I just wondered why she wrote on about her successful liver transplant.

The Game

To this day my mom doesn't believe me when I tell her that the line in The Beach Boys song "Kokomo" is "...that Monserrat mystique" and not "that man's a rotten stinker!"

Ella Peak

When I was younger listening to my dad's copy of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I always thought the line was, "Lucy eating pie with Simon..."

Ironic, as my dad is called Simon

My sister and I used to sing a song "Little Liza Jane". To this day she claims it was "Little Eyes of Jade" because it was about a green eyed child.
We are now in our 70s and she is as adamant as ever, but we don't fight over it anymore.

Anne

I used to think that the chorus of "mountain song" by jane's addiction was in a different language

nothing'sshocking

First off, thanks for correcting me about the Michael Jackson song about "keep on with the force, don't stop." I guess it's not really about a four-star hotel, then? It's a good thing I hadn't said anything about it to my husband, the huge Jackson fan.

And I thought the David Bowie line from Labyrinth was "Slap that baby, make him scream?"

I also had a friend who insisted the first line of the second verse of Queen's *We are the Chanpions* was "I've taken my vows" instead of bows. She thought it was a really religious song. I never could tell her the truth about Freddie.

Teri

Enrique Iglesias' song "Bailamos," which means "We dance" in Spanish goes like this:

Bailamos - let the rhythm take you over Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio - Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever - bailamos
Te quiero amor mio - Te quiero

But I thought the song was "By The Balls." Let me then show you what the chorus sounded like to me:

By the balls - let the rhythm take you over By the balls
(unintelligable spanish) - By the balls
Wanna live this night forever - by the balls
(more spanish)

Needless to say, I was very, very confused, especially when I started singing MY version in class during middle school and everyone just stared at me in disbelief. Ah, fond memories...

Grabbed By The Balls

my brother, now 27, asked my mom one time why Madonna was singing about "living in a cereal bowl." The song was actuall "Material Girl"

Karla Wright

When I was younger I thought the lyrics to Feliz Navidad were Police never die and no one corrected me until I was 12!
