At a family sing-along my sister made us all hysterical while singing Kenny Roger's Lucille. Instead of the words '4 hungry children & a crop in the field' she sang '400 children & a crop in the field.' Although she knows the correct words now, she will never live this one down for generations!

Kiss' song "I wanna rock and roll all night" - I thought it was "...and part of every day" (instead of "and party every day").

Also, Bruce Cockburn's song "If I had a rocket launcher" - I thought it was "if I had a rockin' lawn chair" (the next lyric is "some son of a b**ch would die" - odd!)

The Electric Six song, "Danger! High Voltage!" has a line that goes "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bell" but my friend (aged 19!!) thought it was "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bin"!! she thought it was like a bread bin, but especially for taco shells! bless her.

"No woman no cry" by Bob Marley. I always used to sing along to that song. My favourite line was - because of its appealing paradoxical poetry - "My fear ist my only courage, so I've got to push on through." A couple of days ago I had to learn it's "My feet are my only carriage". How boring!

I used to think the song "love the one you're with" was called "love the one, your win.

I used to believe the Hall & Oates song was "Your Kiss is on My List" but it was really "Your Kiss is on My Lips". My friend Lisa and I had a small 10 year old girl argument over that one.

me and my friend always used to think that the song sunday morning after went "oh my god i woke up with the satan blues" instead of "oh my god i woke up with a snake tattoo"

Rain

my sis used to think in that britney spears song, 'baby one more time' the first words were 'oh buy them buy them' instead of oh baby baby!!

For the longest time I thought the opening lyrics to "Song 2" by Blur were "I got my head shaved, by a cham-oh-che."

I asked my British friends what a chamoche was, they just looked at me like I was nuts.

I looked up the lyrics: "I got my head checked, by a jumbo jet."

My little sisters used to sing about the "Muncho Man" (Macho Man by the Village People) and the opening lines to the Bugs Bunny show was "Over shoes, Candlelight" instead of "Overture, curtain, lights". They sang the words so loudly I could never get them to hear that they were wrong.

Elle

The song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), during the part were she sings "hold your head up, moving on", I thought she said "aluminum" instead of "moving on". I also thought she sang "sweet dreams are made of the years."

Moe

My sister just recently realized that the lyric "more than a woman" wasn't 4 letter woman!

Anne

My Daughter, who is now 6, just reminded me how she used to think and sing the opening song to the show "Seventh Heaven", as "Seven Kevin", since her uncle's name is Kevin.

Dawn

There's a line in "you're So Vain" by Carly simon that goes "wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend." My friends and I were listening to it one day and I said, "What does ploseman mean?" My friend London looked at me and said, "That's not a word." "Yes it is," I argued. "Ok, maybe it's postman," I relented a bit. So my friend Deziza went on dictionary.com and looked up ploseman and as you can probably guess, it's not a word. So then Lndon looked uo the lyrics and guess what, it was "close friend". I like my way better though.

Loray

When I first heard Lindsay Lohan's song "Over" from my CD, I thought the first line of the lyrics was 'I watched the world around me crumble' then my friend corrected me that is was 'I watched the walls around me crumble'

We use to have to sing that song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" in elementary school. It troubled me everytime, because I swore that the song said "My Body Lies Over the Ocean." It's really kind of scared me.

Remember Xanadu, that movie that came out in the 80's? In the song they go: "Xanadu, Xanadu, now we are here in Xanaduuuuu", at 8 I went with my teenage sister to the movies, thought they sang "Xanadu Xanadu, show me your ears".

Jamiroquai's song "canned heat" actually says "Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby" but me and my best mate used to sing "ive got candy in my heels tonight big ben" and we had awful dance moves to go along with it where we would point to the heels of our shoes...eeek
