My son learned to sing Ba ba Black Sheep in preschool and sang very loudly for his grandmother - - one for the bastard, one for the dame one for the little boy who lives down the lane...

Grace Slick

The first time I heard someone in a rap song go "Drop it like it's hot," I thought he said "Drop it like a sock!"

Socks

In the song 'fear of the dark' (Iron Maiden) I used to think it was 'fear of the duck'. Couldn't quite figure why everyone was so afraid of that duck...

Diadora

I used to believe that in Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" the reason Tony and Rico got into a fight was beacause Rico called Lola a dog....
"And when she finished, He called her Rover"
I am still tempted to sing those words even today.

Rosie Kelly

You know REM's song "It's the End of the World"? The chorus says, "Can I have some time alone?" but I always thought it said, "Can I have some Tylenol," which made a lot of sense to me. If the world were ending, I'd want a LOT of Tylenol.

Stendy

In Eurythmics' song it says:

"Sweet Dreams are made of these"

I thought it said "Sweet dreams are made of cheese!" oopsies!

Alex

In the song, "Kung-Fu Fighting" the lyrics are, ""Everybody was kung-fu fighting; those kicks were fast as lightning." I heard, ""Everybody was kung-fu fighting; those ; 'cats' were fast as lightning."

I couldn't figure out why they mentioned cats in the song.

Charlotte

I had always thought the song "Material Girl", by Madonna was always saying...

Because we are living in a cheerio word and I am a cheerio girl..

Mama cheerio...Mama cheerio...Mama cheerio world..

Sometimes I still sing the lyrics that way!

Charisma

My mom had a friend named Pat back in high school, and he would always sing "Banana Woman" when "More Than A Woman" would play on the radio. XD

Savannah

This is actually a mis-heard lyric of my husband's:

In RUSH's song "Free Will" - My husband believed that the lyric was "I will choose a Bathosphere" instead of a "Path that's clear"...

I will choose Free Will!

I guess that is why he did not choose oceanography as a lifelong career...

My path is clear!

The Beach Boys song "Kokomo" has some lyrics that go "... that Montserrat mystique". To this day, I still here "mounds of rotten steak".

Sheena

In the Who's song 'Who Are You,' I thought the line was 'I remember throwing budgies around' instead of 'I remember throwing punches around.' For many years I always imagined Roger Daltrey throwing small pet birds around the recording studio.

queeneve

You know that song that goes "When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie, it's amore"? well, i used to think he was saying "it's a Moray", and it made no sense to me until i discovered that AMORE is "love" in Italian! lol

Amore

As a child I always thought that the King of Israel was named "Born" - King Born. From the Christmas Carol "The First Noel"....."Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel" BORN IS THE KING of Israel

Allen Uhler

i used to think that the guy singing "smack my bi*ch up" by prodigy was yelling "take my picture" and i always wondered why he was so angry about that.

shakes her head

When my husband was a child, he thought that the line from the Heart song "Crazy on You" was, "Let me throw gravy, gravy on you."

Instead of the real lyrics - "Let me go crazy, crazy on you..."

Christa

I always thought the hook in Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" was "all the boys think she's a spaz" instead of "all the boys think she's a spy." D'oh!

Someone who thinks it's funnier the other way.

Oldies Song Peggy Sue. I used to think that he was talking about how much he loves his "Baggy Suit".

Randy

Because my mom was a big fan i used to listen to The beatles all the time.
In Lucy in the sky with diamonds I thought they sang "The girl with colitus goes by" when it's actually "The girl with kaelidoscope eyes".
Also Michelle the french part sounds so much like "Sunday Monkey won't play piano song, play piano song" when it's actually some french babble.
And then there's the classic "She's got a chicken to ride" (ticket to ride!)
Sorry Beatle people!

Jammy B

My father listened to a lot of Queen. Whenever I'd hear the song "Another One Bites the Dust" I wondered why people would bite on tables covered in dust. I tested that out once, and bit the end table at my grandma's house. Now, when ever I hear that song, I can taste lemon Pledge, and feel wood under my teeth. There are still some teeth marks on my grandmothers end table!
