In Stereophonics' "Have a Nice Day" I was convinced Kelly Jones was telling everyone to "Have a drink of cheese". I'm still not entirely sure what it is!

In Fall Out Boy's song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued", I thought the lyrics were:

With that sweat go on your feet
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

But it actually goes:

We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

Fall Out Girl

When I was growing up my Dad was a huge fan of The Beach Boys, and their song Fun Fun Fun, I thought the chorus was "she'll have fun fun fun when the Daddy took the TEABAG away" it was only until a few years ago I found out that it was actually teabird, he took away. It took 20 years or so for me to realise that! Embarassing lol!

I used to believe that The Beatle's song I Wanna Hold Your Hand actually said,

"I wanna hold your band!"

Dumb...

Some misheard lyrics by me:
The Hush Sound, A Dark Congregation: "Like a hundred sloths escaping" (Like a hundred souls escaping)
"I'm smaller bada gilto this" (I'm swallowed by the guilt of this)
"We are surrounded by all of the choir sleepers" (We are surrounded by all of the quiet sleepers"
The Hush SOund, Lions Roar:
"Don't look a damn" (Delicate dame)
"Into a know" (Into unknown)
THe Hush Sound- We Intertwined
"I was locked up never preached" (I was locked up never free)

Yea... :-S

My youngest brother was known for being musical as a kid and we'd always catch him singing and dancing. The best part of his little act though were his miscontrued lyrics. The one we will never let him live down is O-Town's liquid dreams, where instead of " She's a dominatrix, supermodel, beauty queen," he'd sing "She's a dumb and naked supermodel beauty queen" (though I'm pretty sure the image of that is enough to give most guys liquid dreams...)

You know that song by The Zombies that goes "It's the time for the season of loving?" Up until two days ago, I thought they were singing "it's the time for the season finale."

Needless to say, my dad had a good laugh when he corrected me.

Believe it or not, the first version of the song "'Winter Wonderland" I ever heard was the parody version that goes, "Walkin' round in women's underwear." I believed for the longest time that the "Women's Underwear" version was the correct version and everyone who sang "Winter Wonderland" had just misheard the lyrics.

I used to think that Elton John's song Tiny Dancer was actually Tony Danza. It really changes the meaning of the song.

That Aerosmith song with the lyrics "Dude looks like a lady", well I always thought it was "Do it like a lady"... which would be a better song -in my opinion

Anyone remember the kids show Carmen San Diego? The song at the opening says "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" I babysat a 4 year old that watched the show and one day I heard him singing the song except he was singing "Where in the hell is Carmen San Diego?"

annonymous

well up untill a day ago i thought the lyrics to razorlight 'before i fall to pieces were, 'dont wanna kidnap the truth and the ghost she ate' truth being the name of a ghost. it really is 'I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate'. you can see how i got it wrong right?

The song Betty Davis Eyes, actual words:

All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Misheard as:

All the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Not just a I used to believe more of a I've always believed and at the age of 33 a mate has kindly told me the real words, thanks Jon I preferred my lyrics better

Giz - clean ya ears out

When my class would sing America, the Beautiful I would always burst out in tears when I had to sing the part "land where my father dies" I thought it was ONE father and that it was MY father...not our forefathers

50 cent's In da Club instead of "go shawty its ya birthday"
i thought it was, and sang in public, "go charlotte its your birthday"

Okay, you know the song Apologize by Timbaland? Some of the real lyrics go like this:

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late.

Well, I thought it said this:

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say hey
That it's too late to palogize (?), it's too late
I said it's too late to pathogize, it's too late.

The Apple Queen

In "All Star," the line goes: "All that glitters is gold, only shootin' stars break the mold." (or something like that)

My friend thought: "All the rivers are gold, only shootin' stars wait for morn."

Kenny Rogers tune about 'Lucille'...

"you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field..."

I couldn't figure out why Kenny was worried about the crops what with all of his 400 hundred children an all. Heck, with all that help, he should be done in NO time!

Sometime around 1976 when I was about 6 years old, Elton John's "Benny & the Jets" was a popular radio selection. I can't be the only one who thought he was singing about a woman with "Electric Boobs". Boy, I thought that was nasty.

The refrain of "Flashdance" is "Take your passion and make it happen." I used to sing "Take your pants off and make it happen." I guess I had a dirty mind as a kid.
