I used to think that the lyrics to REM's Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight were:

Calling Cherly Baker

when it is actually:

Call me when you try to wake her up

I used to believe some lyrics in Culture Club's, "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," were:

Bit by lust without a reason

when it's really

This boy loves without a reason.

I could never understanding what was so wrong with being ; ( Born between two lovers ) until years later in high school when I realized it was; ( Torn between two lovers. )

When I was younger, I thought that John Berry's "She's Takin' A Shine" was really "She's takin' a shower" and would sing it this way at the top of my lungs in the car.

my husband nearly killed me with laughter singing in the car one day! the song "keep it copacetic" was on the radio but he was singing it "get yer goat sally" and he really thought that was the words!

this isnt my belief but when my sister was little she was practising a song for her christmas play at home for weeks and kept singing 'we are fluffy shepards' we were all quite confused as to why the shepards were fluffy. it wasnt until we went to watch the play and heard the class sing 'we are scruffy shepards' that we realised she'd been singing the wrong words!

Re: Lucy In The Sky - someone once told me that for the longest time he believed the song went: "The girl with colitis goes by" :))

In Paul Simons " Graceland ", my son ( and I ) originally heard the line " as if i never noticed the way she brushed her hair and farted". YOU LISTEN THE NEXT TIME. The actual line is "The way she brushed her hair from her forehead"

For years I used to think that Wombles were "common" due to thinking that the theme tune talked about "Wombles of Wimbledon - common are we" instead of meaning that the Wombles were from Wimbledon Common!

Lins

Who remembers 'My Simple Heart' by the Three Degrees???

I was convinced they were singing 'Bicycle Parts'

Graham

For years, untill the other day actually when i heard Gareth Gates' rendition of spirit in the sky, I thought the lyrics "when i die and they lay me to rest" were "when i die in the name of Terese" I thought maybe she was some kind of godess?!!! Never was good at religious studies!!!!!!!!

I used to believe the song lyrics to Tori Amos' 'Professional Widow' remix was 'Honey bring me toast tonight, Honey bring me toast tonight will ya... its gotta be burnt, its gotta be burnt...' Instead of 'Honey bring me close tonight, Honey bring me close tonight...'. Thought that she was just a little strange but artistic licence and all that!

Kate

I'll never forget the day my friend, Krissy, called me to tell me about this great new song, but she warned me that the lyrics were weird. I asked her to sing it. She sings "Hot potatoes, hot potatoes,...Hot potatoes. Hot potatoes, hot potatoes,...hot potatoes. Oh, oh, oh, hot potatoes." I cracked up! She was singing "Amadeus"!

When Metallica did the remake of Whiskey in a Jar my husband would always sing the words Whiskey and a Gyro. I still laugh at him everytime I hear that song.

When I was young(er), the song "I was
made to love her" by Stevie Wonder
came out. I'm 47 years old now, and
still can't figure out the FIRST LINE!"I was born in ______, something,
something ... and, I THOUGHT the second
line was, "had a carpet sweeper, we were
always hand in hand." Now, I at least
know that "carpet sweeper" is "childhood
sweetheart" after a friend heard me
attempting to sing with the radio and
told me what a idiot I was - "You were
hand in hand with a carpet sweeper?' she roared. Well, "hey, hey, hey." I
at least knew THAT part. We still don't know the first line, though - it's just one of life's mysteries. Arden Las Vegas

There's a Kate Bush song on 'The Dreaming' that I thought had the most beautifully honest lyric I had ever heard: 'How come I really bore you?' Turns out it's, 'Not until I'm ready for you.'

I used to believe (acutally until about a month ago) that in the song This Kiss that instead of saying silver moom sparkeling, I tohugh they were saying saylor moon sparkling!

In the Walking on Broken Glass song, My brother and I always used to sing "walking on, walking on, walking on broken grass" and run around barefoot in the yard.
