You know the song 'don't cry for me argentina? well my friend used to think it was about some woman on a constant diet and was singing 'Don't fry for me, Alf and Tina'

and when my daughter was about 8 yrs old, she was listening to Wet, wet wet, singing 'Love is all around' and the opening line 'I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes'she used to sing 'I feel my tingly fingers each time I pick my nose'
disgusting, yuk.

"Going to the jazz club in my mind"? Not me! "Going to Nebraska in my mind..."

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!

Anon

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

Emmy

My father, as a young boy, misunderstood some of the lyrics in Roger Millers 'King of the Road':

Actual words: 'Trailer for sale or rent...'
He heard: 'Trailer for sailorettes (as in, female sailors!)

Until I was about 15:

Mairzy Doats and Dozey Doats
And Little Lamzey Divey
A Kiddeley Divey too
Wouldn't you?

Wouldn't I what?

when I was young the Eagles song "Lyin' Eyes" was very popular. After hearing it so many times on the radio I had to ask my mom,"What kind of eyes to lions have"?

You know that song "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong (I'm pretty sure)? There's a part where he sings "Dark sacred night." I used to think he said "Dogs say good night." I still sing it wrong.

Woof

My husband loves it when I sing along to the radio because I almost always have the lyrics wrong.

When I was young, the line in the song "Just Once" that says "I gave my all, but I think my all may have been too much." I thought he was singing "I gave my arm, but I think my arm may have been too much." I thought Quincy Jones was a one armed man who took VanGogh's idea just a little too far.

Along those same lines, I thought that Stevie Nicks was singing "Just like the one-winged dove" instead of "Just like the white winged dove"...I must have had a thing for amputees!

LeeAnn

In the Snow Patrol song "Run", he sings "Slower slower, We don't have time for that, All I want is to find an easier way, To get out of our little heads".

I thought it was actually "to get out of our yellow hats". I thought they must be wearing really tight hats.

Katie

My boyfriend mis-heard the lyrics in the classic cold chisel song Cheap Wine, instead of " I've got my cheap wine and a three day growth" He would belt out " I've got my cheap wine and a female goat"

Teresa

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

Natalie

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.

Dawn S.

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.

Bex

when I was little I thought the George Michael song "you got to have Faith" was a song about cheese, because when I heard it in my little 5 year old ears I heard "you got to have feta, feta, feta" instead of "you got to have faith, faith, faith"

it made sense to me at the time.....but I still hear feta to this day

sarah

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

In John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland" the lyrics are "I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase"

I heard them as "I love the steps you take when Collins hogs the pillowcase" and I pictured this kid named Collins from my school.

Jahna

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

JewLea

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"
