Up until yesterday I used to believe that the line in the song 'Seasons of love' from the broadway production 'Rent' went "In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee, In MINGES, in miles
in laughter in strife". Minges meaning a slang word for vaginas. I figured that because Maureen and Joanne were lesbians in the play, they would measure their year in how many people they have one night stands with.

Yep, Stupid I know! But when I listen to the version I own it really does sound like it!

Bear!

In the song 'Every BreathYou Take', I thought the line "oh, how my poor heart aches..." was "oh, how my pool hall aches...". I figured that someone was destorying their favorite pool hall.

I used to think the words to Praise You by Fatboy Slim went "We've come a long long way together, through the hard times and the shoes. I have to try and graze you baby, I have to graze you like a shoe"
It didn't occur to me that you don't generally graze shoes do you?

When I was younger my Uncle would play music for me. I use to love the Pilot song Magic. I did not know until just recent that the real lyrics were" It's Magic,you know. Never believe its not so" I thought they were singing "Leave It to Beaver,Fatso".

I used to believe (for a very short time) that Raine from Our Lady Peace sang

"...I can't see in, but you're stuck in my bag pipe"

And not

"...I can't see him, but he's stalking my thoughts"

Which are the correct lyrics from the song “The Birdman”

In the Europe song "The Final Countdown" I thought it goes "it´s the fire of downtown". And a little further there´s a line "Were heading for venus and still we stand tall" and I heard "We´re heading for Beavis" (from Beavis & Butthead)

Slim Tom

I used to think that the song"Stayin Alive" said "Staying In Line" like at school when I was little.

One day I overheard my brother (about 17yrs old at the time) ask my dad for a copy of "that Elton John song...you know...uhhh...hold me closer I'm tired of dancin'."

I still laugh out loud at that one. I mean come on, it makes sense right? Yep.

Back when I was younger, I got very into Ricky Martin music. Remember his song, "Shake Your Bon-Bon?" Well, there's a line in there where he says,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you my Juliet?"

However, when I heard this line, it got all slurred together in my ears, and I heard it as,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you magillient?"

"Magillient" isn't a real word by any stretch of the imagination, but since I was convienced that that was what he was singing, I tried to look it up in the dictionary. The closest word I could find was "malignant," which according to the dictionary ment "a life-threatening cancerous tumor."

Thus, I believed that Ricky Martin had some kind of strange cancer fetish.

In the song 'Just Like Jesse James" by Cher, when she says "Think your so bad driving women folk wild"...I thought it was "Think you're so bad driving women f***ing wild"...and thought how can they play this on the radio and not edit it!

Mike-n-Joe

The lyrics are "She was looking kinda dumb with her finger an her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead." and I thought they were "She was looking kinda numb with her finger in her thumb in the shape of an elf" Lol.

Haven

in the song: Hey, don't stop the music
I thought it was saying: Hazel's got the music
My daughter teases me about it all the time. Ha ha!

Before I found any lyrics site giving the lyrics for Lady Gaga's song "So Happy I Could Die", I thought she was singing "So happy I could die. I'm A Samurai." On finding the real lyrics from a site, I found she is only saying "So happy I could die and it's alright." That is way "lame" compared to what I first thought I heard. Possibly I've never visualized anything else so wildly ludicrous as Lady Gaga posing as a Samurai!

Karen

believed the song from Garth..Im Shameless ..was really saying...Im shavin...

Kristin

When I was about 7 and my sister was 4, she used to drive me up the wall by singing: "when you're in love with a beautiful womble" instead of "... ... beautiful woman". I can see how she made the error. Whenever I hear the song now, I always insert "womble" - it makes me chuckle...

Shelby-Lou

the national anthem:

"o say can you see, by the donzerly light..."

so i figured donzerly light was like a nightlight, or a flashlight or anything that helps you see in the dark and then i would ask whoever was there "o say can you see?"

kimberly

I used to believe the song "Dude Looks Like A Lady" said "Do It Like A Lady"

The first time I heard the song "Candida" as a young teen (a long time ago) I heard the chorus as "Candida, wake up naked together" I was shocked (truly). My sister later told me the words were "Candida, We could make it together"

Cindy C.

From the Carpenters hit I always sang "calling octopus of interplanetary craft" instead of "occupants".
