I used to think that the lyrics to the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in The Wall pt 3" Were
"The Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom" but, much to my dismay I think Roger Waters was singing about the dark sarcasm.

My Ex-wife when she was little used to believe that the name of the song was "Only Baloney" instead of " Only The Lonely."

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.

I used to believe that the song "Life in the Fast Lane" was actually "Slide in the Vaseline" ! I think I was deaf as a kid?

when i was little i was a huge fan of the Sound of Music. And whenever they sang edelweiss, I thought that they where saying little mice

In the Band Aid song I always thought that it went 'Beaver, woah, do they know it's christmas...' not 'feed the world, do they know it's christmas'.

A friend of mine used to sing 'Oh my god! There's a snowman' instead of 'All we've got is this moment' to INXS's - Need You Tonight.

He was convinced that these were the correct lyrics and tried to justify this to me by saying 'Well, they come from Australia, so they've never seen snow before'.

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!

Back in elementary school (and really, just about right up until high school), I used to think that the second line of "Do, a deer" was "Ray, a chocolate-golden sun". That lasted until I was about 13.

I mishear more and more with the passing years... but my two best date from a while ago:
Bohemian Rhapsody -"Spare him his life from these pork sausages!" (=Monstrosities - still can't hear it any other way though!)

and Tom Jones' 'Sex Bomb' -
"Infra-red semen shoots through the night..." (well it IS Tom Jones!!) I believe it's Infra-red, see me speed through the night...

ah well... ;¬)

Oh Irah-ah-ahn ... Iran's so far away ...
Yah you know that song by the Flock of Seagulls? Eheh, yah. Being the geographically smart kid that I have always been, I figured that was what it said. Jeez I'm stupid sometimes.

I used to sing at the top of my voice "OLD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"

claire

my moms friend growing up thought the song that went "Good, good, good, good vibrations" went, "Good, good, good, goodbye braces"

You know the song 'All Star' by Smash Mouth? Well, the lyrics go, "She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an 'L' on her forehead" but my friend thought they went, "She was looking kinda dumb with her finger in her thumb and the shape of an elf on her forehead"

Not Me, But You.

I really did believe Elton john was singing 'someone shaved my wife tonight' and was mortified years later to find it was actually 'someone saved my life tonight'

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.

Jem

When I was about 5, I used to love singing christmas carols, and my favourite was "I saw mummy kissing santa claus".

But I always thought the line "underneath the mistletoe last night" was actually "on his little missing toe last night"

My mum still has video tapes of me singing those lines to the song, even pointing to my toes while I was singing it.

What I wanna know now is; Even if Santa DOES have a "missing toe"...how could anyone kiss it? IT'S NOT THERE!

Bec

My best friend used to be convinced that the song "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" was actually "I Wish I Was A Prawn Cracker"

Befuddled

When we first heard the song 'Super Sex World', my sister and I thought it was 'Super Saiyan Squirrels'. From then on I thought that all romance songs were about Martial Arts squirrels.

Heh heh, "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson:

Billy Jean is not my mother!
Just a girl who says that,
"I am your mom",
But the chair is not my son!

Nobody can tell me different, because that's how it goes. Seriously. I know. I think.
