In the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, there's a part where he goes "Bite-ah the dust-ah!!' really fast, and once I was listening to it in the car with my mom, and I said, "doesn't it sound like he's saying 'I am adopted!'?"
Then (and I don't think I'll ever forget this) my mom laughed dismissively and said, "That's what he IS saying."
I still have no idea why my mom would think he was saying 'I am adopted!", especially since it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the song.

That the lyrics "She drives me crazy, and I can't help myself" was really "She drives me crazy, and I can't have my snack".

in the song "take my breath away" by berlin, i thought that the lyrics was "took my brother away..." and i was so sad because someone took her brother away...
I'm a brother of three sisters, and I was also sad because of what would happen if someone took me from them - they will be sad... :(

i thought the line "saving my face" from the KT Tunstall song of the same name was "shaving my face"

I used to think Right Said Fred sung 'I'm too sexy for my lamb' instead of 'I'm too sexy for Milan'.

Nineties music was great

My kids a few years ago thought they knew everything!! Well,when they sang out loud ''Lock Tide'' I gave them the weirdest look and asked them what they were singing? They said it was from a wrestling CD for the wrestler HHH. Well I told them they were wrong and that the actual song tiltle was..''My Time''..they didn't care they still went on singing''Lock Tide''.
They even sang ''Take the last train to Pottsville'' instead of ''Take the last train to Clarksville'' by the Monkees...I gave up and just let them make a fool of themselves...(LOL)

In "Song 2" by Blur the first line is "I got my head checked, by a jumbo jet" for a long time I thought it was "I got my head shaved, by a chimboche" I thought chimboche was some Indian tribe or something

When I was little I thought that Madonna was singing "Cereal Girl" instead of "Material Girl". I though it was a song about cherriohs.

In the movie Grease 2, one of the greasers tells the girls to "read it and weep!"after they win at bowling. I thought he was saying "read it in a week!". I thought that was a very strange phrase because that's a very long time to read the scores to their game of bowling.

I always thought that the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" were "Trouble in the sewers" instead of "Trouble in the Suez."

The Nolans song "I'm in the Mood for Dancing" my favourite when I was young, only I thought the lyrics were - "I'm in the nude for dancing."

I guess I was dirty minded as a child!!!

C Hikson

my friends mom used to sing "you talk sense" instead of utah saints.

i used to think that the manfred mann/bruce springsteen song 'Blinded By the Light' went:

Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche
In the middle of the night...

after awhile, i realized that this COULDNT be what was intended. but it wasnt until today that i found out the correct lyrics:

Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night...

my mom heard Tori Amos,s "professional widow" and where Tori says "honey bring it close to my...." my mom thought she was saying "we havin' toast tonight"!!! ,in another line Tori says "its gotta be big" my mom thought it was "scabie git"!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only recently found out that the Cliff Richard & Young Ones song, "Living Doll" is NOT "Living Dog". "i've got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul" So that makes sense now.

In Girl Guides (Brownies mainly), we also sang this song...and I thought we were singing "I'm being eaten by a broken sticker" and I never understood why...A few years later I mentioned it to my mother who had been a leader and she said it was really "I'm being eaten by a BOA CONSTRICTOR"...Makes so much more sense now.......

I had never heard the german version of Oh Christmas Tree (Oh Tanenbaum) until I was 18. I was walking in a dept. store with my brother and we both were positive they were saying "Oh Timebomb". It made no sense for a christmas song but every time they said it we heard timebomb.

Father father father help us send some violence full of love cause peoples got me got me questioning where is above? above. above where is above, above, above???"

I used to think that "My bonnie lies over the ocean," went, "My body lies over the ocean," and I was sad, because I thought it was about a floating dead person!

MissCalculated

Ya know the song "Stop in the Name of Love", well when I was little I thought the part where they say "Think it o over.. think it o over!"
I thought it was "Stop in the name of love before you break my heart, like a boldozer.. like a boldozer!
