For a while i hav thought that the lyrics for Smash Mouth's "All Star" went like so:
"She was lookin kinda dumb
with her finger IN her thumb
and the shape of an elf
on her forhead."
It wasnt until a friend pointed out to me that i was singing the lyrics wrong in an english lesson while watchin one of my favourite films "Shrek". She said that the lyrics went like:
"with her finger and her thumb
in the shape of an L
on her forhead"
obviously this makes alot more sence than my version on the lyrics.

an elf, what was i thinking?

I used to think the John Lennon - Merry Christmas (War Is Over) song said 'Let's hope its a good one, with plenty of beer' instead of 'without any fear' as my dad always sang it like that...

When I was little I used to hear everyone sing the song, "David and Sally sitting in a tree K I S S I N G" Childishly I thought it was "David and Sally sitting in a tree
K I S S P M T"

I misheard 'she just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich' in 'Down Under' by Men at Work. Not having heard of Vegemite then I thought it was a 'bitumen sandwich'. I still annoy my husband by deliberately singing this version whenever it comes on the radio.

In the film grease the song "one that i want" we use to think that the line "Nothing left nothing left for me to do" was "double it up double it up for me and you"

Also our dad thought that the song "the final countdown" by Europe was "there's a fire downtown"

That Madonna sang "I'm a cheerio girl" instead of material girl

My younger sister always sung the "I got my first real six-string"-part from Brian Adams' "Summer Of 69" wrong. Instead, she sung "I got my first real sex dream"

Abe.

when i was younger i always used to sing the Adam & the ants song 'stand and deliver, but my version was 'stan, eat your dinner' lol

mazzy

You know the song from queens we will we will rock you? Well I used to think it was swinging your bladder all over the plact singing we will we will rock you.........I figured it out later.

for my little sis -

Paul McCarty song "Band on the Run" but when she sang it it was "Man has the Runs"

When I was little, I thought the song 7 Nation Army went like this:
"I'm gonna fight em off, the salvation army couldn't hold me back"
and the song that goes "My boy's gonna play in the big leagues" was "My boys gonna play in the dippy"
I also thought the song that goes "S'cuse me, while i kiss the sky" was "S'cuse me, while i kiss this guy"
I was a weeeeeeeird kid..

In need of a hearing aid

in pink's god is a dj..my friend thought that the words were "if god is a dj, then life is an asshole"

theyre actually "if god is a dj, life is a dancefloor"

when i was younger, i used to like a song, dont know who it was by..that had the lyrics "it must have been love but it's over now" mistaking "it must have been love" for "aston villa" (an english footie team if anyones puzzled lol..) (if u know the song, listen, and it will make sense..) and being in awe that someone loved a football team THAT much

lizzie

I used to think that the words for outkasts 'Hey ya' went 'shake it like a polaroid pizza' instead of ' shake it like a polaroid picture'
also i used to think that in the song i try by Macy Gray that it said 'I wear googgles when your are not near' instead of 'My world crumbles when you are not near' dunno why?....

I used to believe that the UK's national anthem included the line "Send her Victoria's" instead of "Send her victorious"
I was ever so curious as to what they were sending the Queen that belonged to Victoria!
"Mummmmmyyy,send her Victoria's WHAT???"

There's this Elton John song, 'Benny & The Jets'... well, in it, there's this line that I thought says, "She's got electric boobs, her mom has too," but it really says, "She's got electric boots, a mohair suit." And I sing this at the top of my lungs all the time.... =p

The chorus of "Every Time You Go Away" (by Paul Young) goes: "Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you." But as a child I thought it said "you take a piece of meat with you." I always was puzzled by that.

my mother, when she was small, used to love the xmas song - 'the 12 twelve days of christmas'

however she always beleived that on the 1st day of christmas...'my tulip said to me..' instead of 'my true love sent to me!!'

as a result i find it very hard to sing the right words!! ah well its worth it...gettin to have a laugh at my mums expense!!!

Loving Daughter!! (sometimes)!!

I once heard the song "Secret" by Madonna and thought that the line "Happiness lies in your own hands" was "A penis lies in your own hands". Let's face it, it was Madonna!

Remember the old Tubes song "White Punks on Dope". Thought they were singing "White Folks are Dumb"
