In the song All Star by Smashmouth I thought the line
"I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"
was
"I ate the sharpest tool in the shed"
and I got these freaky images of a fat guy eating a saw.

Theres a bit in Avril Lavigne's Complicated where she sings "Honestly promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it". I was pretty sure I heard the line "Thomas please promise me I'm never gonna find you naked"

My flatmate at the time was a guy called Tom so it was particularly apt. It was like she was singing to me maaan, it was like Lavigne UNDERSTOOD.

Unahappy ending to this story though as I did inadvertently come home to find Tom naked.

Thanks for listening, this is far cheaper than therapy

Alanis Morrisette hit it big in the U.S. when I was about 13. My favorite song on her album was the one that went:

"You live, you nerd.
You breathe, you nerd..."

The song seemed to be about how, no matter what you do, someone is always going to make fun of you for it. I thought this was a very cool, and very true, idea for a song.

I remarked to my older sister, "Don't you love that song, 'You Nerd'?" She laughed and set me straight: it was actually "You Learn".

I never liked the song quite as much after that.

I have an older brother named Sean, who's only about a year older. When I was little, my mom used to sing to him, "You are my sun shine, my only sun shine..." I was very jealous of him, becasue my mom had written a song for him, and not for me! I thought the lyrics were, "You are my son, Sean, my only son, Sean..."

My dad used to think that the part of the ghostbusters theme that went 'Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!' actually said 'Who you gonna call? THOSE BASTARDS'.

Nuff said.

I believed that there were two types of trees. There were the "Partri" and the "Ginapear" trees.

I was in the car with my dad and the song "Move Along" from All American Regects came on. My dad was loving it and starting singing along. "MOW THE LAWN, MOW THE LAWN LIKE I KNEW YA WOULD!"

Instead of "MOVE ALONG MOVE ALONG"

In Edwin McCain's song "I'll Be" There's a part where he goes "I'll be captivated". As a kid, I always thought he was saying "I'll be Captain Vader". I envisioned a guy dressing up like Darth Vader in an effort to impress the girl of his dreams.

When I was younger, like around nine or ten years old, I loved Duran Duran. In the song "Save A Prayer", there's a lyric that goes "Some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise". I thought Simon LeBon was singing about a night stand, like the one by his bed where the lamp is. For years I was confused by why he thought a night stand was paradise, but I figured he was rich and had bought the coolest night stand ever. Wouldn't that be paradise!

My dad used to sing the song "It's Raining, It's Pouring" to me when I was a kid. When he came to the part that goes "and he couldn't get up in the morning" I used to think he said "and he cooked it up in the morning". I had this scary mental picture of an old man bumping his head so hard that his head fell off, and then he cooked his OWN HEAD the next morning. Why, I don't know. I am laughing so hard right now while typing this that I have tears coming out of my eyes.

Rememer the cheesy 'Superman' song that was around in the late 80's? (Comb your hair, brush your teeth, now FLY! etc) Well I taught all my friends the dance with all the actions. Only I thought that 'Hitch a ride' was actually 'Hit your eyes' so I had all these kids at the school disco hitting themselves, and nobody knew why.

You know that song "That don't impress me..." by Shania Twain. I thought the line " I can't believe you kiss you car at night" was "I can't believe you kiss your carving knife" I'm not a phsyco...honest!

My ex was convinced the line from David Bowie's "Suffrigette City" was "don't lean on me man 'cos you can't afford the chickens" (as opposed to "you can't afford the ticket")
