When my younger daughter was small she loved to sing in the car. One day she demanded we sing "The Rabbit In The Sea" It took us at least 15 minutes to figure out that she meant "My Bonny (bunny) Lies Over The Ocean.

My sister used to sing Kylie's "cheese on my pillow", somehow tears works better.

When I was younger (in the early 90's) I listened a lot to Guns n' Roses. In their song Paradise City I was sure that the chorus went "Take me down to the Paradise City, where the beer is free and the girls are pretty."
To my grave disappointment it was the, in my opinon, lamer "where the grass is green and the girls are pretty". My version just seems to be more Rock n' Roll.

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.

Until recently, I was pretty firmly convinced that The Police were singing "...I'll send an S.O.S. to a squirrel". My husband recently informed me otherwise, after I belted out the song at the top of my lungs while in the car with our friends.

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.

I use to think that Bruce Springsteen's song "growing up" was called "throwing up"

When I first heard Stawberry Fields Forever, I misheard the lyrics as Strawberry Fields For Trevor.

My friend's sister believed the lyrics to Gazza's "Fog on the Tyne" were "Fog on the dinasaurs mine all mine"

Suzanne

In Benny and the Jets by Elton John, I always thought the line 'He's got eletric boots and a mohair suit' was 'She's got electric boobs and her mom has, too.' As a kid, I kept wondering what electric boobs could possibly look like, and what kind of sad genetic defect it was that could affect a whole family. The REALLY funny thing is that without really talking about it, my sister misinterpreted the same line the same way. What a warped family I come from

I thought "having been some days in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all" in Being For The Benefit of Mister Kite was, "some beans, some raisins, preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all."

Anna

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..."

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

I thought the line in the song "more than a woman" was "four-legged woman".

My mates Mum used to think Paul Weller was singing about "Eating Trifles" instead of "Eton Rifles"

Sean

I don't know the name of the song, but it was by Miya, describing the type of man she wanted. I'm still not sure but I think she says "I'm looking for a brother who likes to have fun, a 'fly chilled-out guy' who knows how to please a woman" I am however quite sure she does not want a 'flatulent guy' as I had first thought, I was deply concerned at the time - she does sing that line quite fast though.

Another error I made was thinking that Miss-Teeq were singing "pants down, grab a man" instead of "glance down" and I was most unhappy about the message the song was sending out, bless me!

Finally, I thought, in the song "Bad", that Michael Jackson was singing about my friend Sian Moore (I now think it might be "you know it" but my judgement is forever clouded by my previous belief) I was insanely jealous that he loved her and not me - it was when he still looked like a man.

When I was a kid I thought Mary had a little lamb whose FLEAS were white as snow.

jen

my silly roommate used to think that the lyrics to Macy Gray's song said "i blow bubbles when you are not here"... the real lyrics are "my world crumbles when you are not near"
now when i walk in the room and she's blowing bubbles, well, i know what to think.

Bubblicious

I was also a victim of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds, the girl with colitis goes by." I always thought it was weird.

Teri

In the Beach Boy's Kokomo, instead of that Monserrat mystique....I always thought they were saying Vermont's a rotten state. I still can't bring myself to sing it correctly.
