In the Shwayze song "Corona and Lime" there's a line that goes "I ain't met her but I'll get her when I do". I always thought that it said "I ain't mad about her ghetto attitude".

That makes more sense to me.

When my cousin and I were teenagers, she
used to think that the Stacy Q song "Two of
Hearts" was actually "2 poptarts". mmm, yum!

I was 19 when I was singing "Dirty Deeds Dunder Chicken" which my now husband looked and said WHAT? The AC/DC song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep was on. He died laughing. I just knew Done Dirt Cheap was Dunder Chicken.

I used to believe that in the Hot Chocolate song "You Sexy Thing", the lead singer was singing "I believe in wackos" instead of "I believe in miracles".

My brother used to love Billy Jean by Michael Jackson, but used to sing along to the chorus "Bit of Cheese, that's what I like"...bless

I thought for the longest time that elvis' "Suspicious Minds" began "They called him a tramp! I can't hold back!"

Remember "Crazy for You" by Madonna?
I heard "two by two their bodies become one" as "two by two their bodies decompose". As I was not quite 10, I thought this was the nastiest thing I had ever heard!

Did anybody besides me believe that Londonderry Air was actually London Derriere?

While singing Christmas carols as a child, I was confused by "Angels We Have Heard on High." Instead of "in excelsis Deo," I thought it was "in Aunt Chelsea's stable."

When I was young I believed that in Queens Bohemian Rhapsody they sang..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from these pork sausages!" when it was actually..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity"

Also when I heard ABBA singing Super Trouper I thought the lyrics were..."I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesocs" when it's actually "I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Glasgow"...oops!

Imagine her surprise and my absolute amusement when I heard my friend Linna singing, "Play that monkey music, white boy!" and I told her it was 'funky music'. What a hoot!! Can't hear that song today without seeing her snappin' her fingers and struttin' her stuff, singing those lyrics. A great memory for me!

When I was in Jr. High (in the late 80's) there was this song by Debbie Deb called "Lookout Weekend". I was bustin' a move and dancing in the living room one day then my Mom pulled the plug on the radio 'cause she was so annoyed. Just as she did that I belted out "Look out we can cuss-here I come!! Because we can twirl-made for fun!"
Well, she just about died laughing and said the real lyrics were "Lookout weekend cause, here I come
Because weekends were, made for fun!" She always had a way of bursting my bubble.

I used to think that Elton John's "Benny & The Jets" was "banging on your chest" and every time the song came on I'd bang my chest like Tarzan.

I used to believe the song 'Felice Navidad' was 'Release Navidad' and was a protest song about some Latin American political prisoner. Never could work out why it then went on to say 'We want to wish you a Merry Christmas'. And this was well into my twenties.

There is a song we used to sing at Sunday School that went 'Jesus' friend of little children, be a friend to me, take my hand and ever keep me close to thee....
Now my little ears heard and my little mouth sang,
Jesus scared of little children be afraid of me....

Little Miss Heard

I always thought the lyrics to "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls were

"If you wannabe my lover, you gotta take off my pants." I was like 8 and sung it this way and my mother heard and about had a cow, but that's how my best friend sang it so I believed it to go that way.

The song: Do They Know It's Christmas Time

The lyric: Feed the World

What I heard: Vi-vo, whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh

The song "The Girl is on to you" by Bette Midler has a line
"She's grown much wiser than you realize," which I heard as "She's grown much wider than you realize."

When i was little my mom and my aunt told me that the song "The Macarena" was actually called Morgarena and that it was written for me...i believed them for a good 4 years. Its still a joke between them....haha very funny
