In the Shwayze song "Corona and Lime" there's a line that goes "I ain't met her but I'll get her when I do". I always thought that it said "I ain't mad about her ghetto attitude".

That makes more sense to me.

I used to think Toto's Africa contained the line "I spent my life trying to get away from you," (rather than "it'd take a lot to take me away from you.") What makes it more entertaining is that the follow-up line is "it's something that a hundred men or more could never do," thus leaving me with the image of a woman with a hundred or so people just stuck to her like a magnet.

For the song 'Steve McQueen' my sister thought the chorus was,

'It's like Steve McQueen, streakin' on your radar screen!'

My sister has a sick mind...

When I was little, I used to think that in Bob Dylan was singing, "Hey Mr. Tangerine man, play a song for me," instead of, "Hey Mr. Tambourine man...." Now whenever I hear that song, I visualize a tangerine playing tambourines.

there used to be a song that got a ton of radio airplay. i could have bet you a million bucks that it said "don't make me yodel" . it was by sinead oconner and it actually said "don't make me over". i couldnt understand why she didn't want to yodel. i even tried to yodel to see if it was painful or if something bad who happen to me afterward.

My brother used to think the line, "I'll never be your beast of burden" in the Rolling Stone's song "Beast of Burden" was sung:
"I'll never be a pizza burnin'...."

In Shania Twains "That dont impress me much" the line where she sings

"I cant believe you kiss your car at night"

used to sound like:

"I cant believe you kiss your COCK at night"

I only found this not to be true by watching the video on daytime TV and being baffled at the fact that it hadnt been censored. Nice thought though eh??

Jealous

I thought the Roxette song went "I'm wanna get dressed - for some sex" instead of "I'm gonna get dressed, for success"

Getting dressed for sex defeats the purpose, but I went on believing it for many a year.

For the longest time when I was a kid, I used to think the lyrics to the Bob Dylan/Eric Clapton song "Knockin' on Heavens Door", was:

Knock, knock, knocking on Evan's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Evan's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Evan's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Evan's door
..... Feel like I'm knockin' on Evan's door...

I could never figure out who this guy "Evan" was, and why he would never answer his door!

Karol

I used to believe that the lyrics "Don't go chasing waterfalls" TLC's song "Waterfalls" was actually saying "Don't go Jason water ball" referring to Jason from the original Power Rangers TV show. I was always confused because I could never understand why they said "Water ball"

In The Monkees song "I`m a believer", Micky Dolenz sings "When I needed sunshine, I got rain". It really sounds like he sings "what I need is sunshine on my brain". Sunshine on brain, eeeew!

Daria

I love that song Gloria by Van Morrison - Instead of singing "Gloria, G.L.O.R.I.A." I used to think it was "Gloria, the yellow warrior"...

Mark 'funky'

I used to believe the the words to the country song "Cheap wine and a three day growth" were in fact, "Cheap wine and a three legged goat" up until about 6 months ago. I am 24.

For the longest time (through college even) I thought the last lyrics of the Golden Girls was "And the cardiacs would say, 'Thank you for being a friend'".
Made sence to me, as it was a show about older women. My brother has since informed me of it being "card attached". Makes more sense now.

The mother of my ex-girlfriend used to think the Bee Gee's song "More Than A Woman", was "Bald Headed Woman". She also thought John Mellencamp's "The Authority Song" said "I'm fightin' Dorothy and Dorothy always wins". First time I heard it was one of the biggest laughs I've ever had.

Steve

When I was like 8 or so I heard the Rolling Stones' song with one of the lines bing"I will be your bbeast of burden" well, I heard " Never leave your pizzas burnin'" yea- sure

Burnt Pizzas?

In the song "Green Grow the Rushes O" I thought - all through my childhood up until in my twenties - that the line 'Four for the Gospel makers' was 'Four for the Golf ball makers' ... never thought to question it . . .

lucidlupin

Remember that song "Shake, Rattle & Roll"? When I was a child, I heard the lyrics as "Shake Marilyn Monroe, I said shake Marilyn Monroe!"

Could just picture it, too...shaking her by the shoulders, and her kind of giggling...

A while back, The Wallflowers had a popular song on the radio, it was called "One Headlight."
The (real) chorus goes: "But me and Cinderella, put it all together."
One day, while in the car with 4 of my friends, that song came on. I began to sing it at the top of my lungs. When the chorus came (and I was belting it out) my friends started hysterically laughing. They asked me to sing the chorus, and being the good sport that I am, I obliged. I sang, "The incinerator, put it all together." They actually had to pull the car over because they were laughing so hard! They never corrected me, instead they would ask me to sing it for whoever we knew. I thought that they were impressed by my singing voice.
Later, they told me the truth. They had allowed me to make a fool of myself for nearly a year! What's that old saying? "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

in the song "show me heaven" i used to sing "make me breakfast" instead of "leave me breathless"
