I used to sing a LOT of songs wrong: "Take your pants down and make it happen" instead of "take your passion" (Flashdance theme)
"Silence like a casserole" instead of "cancer grows" - makes more sense doesn't it? (Sound of Silence)
Also thanks to my dad who fanices himself a bit like Weird Al: "There's a bathroom on the right" (Bad Moon on the Rise)
"I fought your ma and your ma won" was a lot more believable to me than "I fought the law and the law won"

When my parents bought the Beatles One album and I heard their song "Can't Buy Me Love" I thought they were singing Got Puppy Love. The words seemed to fit and my brother thought the same thing. Sometimes I still sing the wrong words because it makes me smile.

I used to think that in the Fatboy Slim song 'Funk Soul Brother', instead of 'Check It Out Now, Funk Soul Brother' it said 'Check It Out Now, Vauxhall Nova'

I used to believe that Bryan Adam's "Summer of '69" was "I got my first real sex-dream" instead of "I got my first real six-string"

Destiny's Child - I Depend On Me

"The shoes on my feet
Alf Garnett
The clothes I'm wearing
Alf Garnett
The rock I'm rocking
Alf Garnett
Coz I depend on meat
If I want it
The watch I'm wearing
Alf Garnett
The house I live in
Alf Garnett
The car I'm driving
Alf Garnett
I depend on meat
I depend on meat..."

I believed that TLC's "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls" really was "Don't Go Jason Waterfalls". It could be a guy, right?

When I was five, I thought that the Beatles' song verse "I wanna hold your hand" meant "I wanna know John Lennon", and it was a homage from The Beatles to John, who was dead.

The abba song, called "does your mother know" should be: "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, but does your mother know that you're out .... and l could chat with you baby flirt a little maybe".
When I was young, I used to think it was "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, I'M DANCING WITH ANOTHER GIRAFFE .... and l could chat with you baby, EARN A LITTLE MINI, but does your mother know that your out".

When I was a kid I was a massive S Club 7 fan { wow that took alot of courage to say } and I thought the words to part of their song Don't Stop Movin was "Teacher's got us swirling around".

It was actually "DJ's got us going around."

My ex boyfriends mum once asked me what a strombolees was, She had heard it in a song and thought it was some kind of italian musical instrument, and me being italian would know what it was. Turns out however that the line in the song was 'he's got his stong beliefs'

In the Supremes song, Love Child, I thought that the words "hold on just a little bit" instead said "Wait (why don't you put on a condom?) Seemed logical enough.

I thought Pink's "You make me sick" was "you make me sick, you make me look like a candlestick" LOL

Rice

actual lyrics: "Bring me a higher love"
I heard: "Bring me a pile of love"
----------------------------------------------------------
actual lyrics: "Can't hurry love..."
I heard: "Kangaroo love..."
----------------------------------------------------------
actual lyrics: "Hush, hush, keep it down now,
voices carry"
I heard: "Hush, hush, keep it down now, you're
so scary"

During the "Bang! Bang!" part of the song Love Shack by the B-52s I thought that the backup singers were actually yelling "Batman!"

I was 4 and just assumed that the song must have been on the soundtrack for the Batman movie. I also thought that the guy who played the Joker (whom I now know as Jack Nicholson) was the guy who sang in the song. Man I was way off on that one. Jack Nicholson has to have SO much more money than them!

In the song "Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan, I thought they were saying "If you're running out of peas/ you can have a bunch of mine." I seriously thought the song was about sharing vegetables!

Laura S.

my little sister used to sing her version of Robbie Williams "Angels" but her bit was "And through it all she offers me protection, a little love and infection!" but it really goes "And through it all, she offers me protection, a lotta love and affection"This was actually another classic from my 5 year old sister, who was belting it out at the top of her voice. We just didn't have the heart to correct her!!

"She's just a girl, with a big fat bum"

Billie-Jean lyrics "She's just a girl, who claims that I am the one


Once again, I can attribute this to my dear old Mum who honestly believed these lyrics were the real ones... we've had her hearing checked since the 80's...

For years I thought the 10,000 Maniacs song "Because The Night," instead of saying,"The way I feel under your command," said, "The way I feel on the Autobahn." I thought it was a song about road trips.
