That song "another saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money cause I just got laid" My daughter heard me singing away and exclaimed "I just got paid MUM". She walked away shaking her head.

That Cher song that goes, "I feel something inside that says". I have until this very day thought that she was singing, "I feel something inside this @$$".

for those of you who remember the childhood song "London Bridge is Falling Down".... I seriously used to think that the correct words for this song went....London Britches falling down my bare lady.......the funny part is, is that my 3 year old son, sings it the same exact way as I did when I was a child, only I have never told him the incorrect version myself...how funny, huh ?

I used to believe - well actually, somewhere inside I STILL believe - that in Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean", the refrain goes:

Billy Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
BUT THE CHAIR IS NOT MY SON!

Alright, so it doesn't make much sense, but I like it that way. And MJ should sing clearer.

I used to think the lyrics to smooth criminal went anny are you wonky are you wonky anny, you've been hit by a spoon

In the Queen son Bohemian Rhapsody my friend thought the line went 'spare him his life from this warm sausage tea'

i used to study in a chinese kindergarten. i still remember the last lyrics of the school asthem was "be a good child"(jok ho hi ji) but i sang it as "be a good banana"(jok ho heung jiu). at that time i kept wondering why and how to be a good banana.

i used to wonder what a beach full of poppadoms would look like after hearing madonna's song poppadom beach... or was it actually papa don't preach???

I used to think that the Elton John song "That's Why They Call It The Blues" went "That's why they call it a loo." For years, I was certain that the song was about a toilet, although I don't know why anyone would want to sing about one.

Miss Mustard

In the song Rudolf the Red Nosed ReindeerI used to believe there were more reindeer than I had been told about. You know, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Olive..
The line went "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names..." I used to think what a nasty reindeer Olive was and why did Santa keep her???

Rosey

I have always been (and still am!) convinced that the Beach Boys song 'I Was Made To Love Her' has the refrain 'Hey, hey, you son of a b***h!'. I am told that it actually says 'Hey, hey, yes I was made to love her' - but I don't believe it!

until about 3 years ago, i believed in mary had a little lamb the song, they said "had fleas as white as snow" instead of "fleece."

OK, you know the song 'Killer Queen' (by Queen)? There is a line in the refrain 'Wanna try'.

Well, when I was very young and first heard this song, I thought it said 'What a drag' as in how boring.....of course, when I was older I held onto my version because it then seemed to make perfect sense that the song was about a drag queen.

I was only enlightened a few days ago - oops!

Crazy Moo

I used to think that the lyrics "just a special touch of paradise" were "just a special touch of parrots eyes". The song was sampled on an advert for Malaysia. I used to love that song, and imagined travelling to Malaysia and being able to pet the parrots. I decided I would be kind and not touch their eyes, though, because they probably didn't like that much.

'When Smokey sings, I hear violins'

I don't! I hear 'When smoke gets in, I feel firing'.

Made perfect sense to me!

Me again

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..."

Jealous Sister

Part of the UK National Anthem goes:
'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'
I thought it said:
'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'
As there were some twins in my class called Laura and Victoria, this sort of made sense, though I wondered how on earth they had made it to the national anthem.

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.

When I was younger & listening to Madonna's 'Material Girl' on the radio, my little sister decided one day to sing along. Of course it wasn't till after the song ended that I realized what she was saying: "Cuz I'm li-ving, in a Cheerio World, and I'm a Cheerio girl!" --Today we still laugh our butts off about it as adults!

When I was a kid, one of my favorite songs was "I'm in Love with My Car" by Queen. However, I was confused by the line, "get a grip on my boyracer rollbar," probably because I heard it as "catch a whiff of my boyish aroma."
