when i was younger, instead of singing, "and a partridge in a pear tree" i sang, " and a partridge ginger had a tree." lol

The 4 Non-Blondes song "What's Up" contains a lyric that says "I pray every single day." As a teenager I sang from the bottom of my lungs "I pray to St. Cote." Don't know who that particular Saint is, but the lyrics still sound like that to me.

Another misheard lyric: I was sure the Beach Boys were singing "Help Me Rhonda, yeah...get her outta my car", and I imagined that there was a girl who was sick or drunk in his car.

"Get her outta my heart" is correct, but less fun.

i used to think in michael jackson's billie jean he said "the chair is not my son" instead of "the child is not my son". i asked my mom when i was about 7 why he would state the obvious like that, because obviously a chair couldn't be a son. i also thought he couldn't really have a son because he was michael jackson. too bad i was wrong.

my 23 year old roommate thought that the line "mama...just killed a man" in queen's bohemian rhapsody was actually "mama...just killed a bear".
we made fun of her for days.

In the Prince song, Sign 'O' The Times, during the part where he sings 'At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun', I was concvinced he was actually saying, 'At home there are 17 or so boys, and they are all deformed'

Also, in the Janet Jackson song 'Escapade', listening to it when i was perhaps 6 or 7 and was completely oblivious to the existance of such a word, I would happily sing along 'Nes-Ca-Fe, we'll have a good time, Nes-Ca-Fe, leave your worries behind'

In the song, "passionate kisses" I thought it was 'Ashley and Kristen love me.' It made sence when I was about 5 because I had two friends named Ashley and Kristen.

Kat

When she was about eight, my sister came into the living room one day and asked my mom "What's a skeregin' word?" Mom was bewildered and asked her what she meant. My sister sang "You know- Where seldom is heard a skeregin word, and the skies are not cloudy all day." It was "Home on the Range" The word was "Discouraging" LOLOL

Lil Nicki

In the song "Wherewolves of London" I thought he was singing "Where is the Thunder?" I could never figure out why he didn't know where thunder came from.

my name is Angie, and I therefore really liked the song Angie by the Rolling Stones. when the song first came out I was around 10 years old. I used to believe the line that says "ain't no woman ever gonna come close to you..." meant that no woman was ever going to get physically close to her!

angie

well a year or so ago christina aguilera brought out a song called fighter i knew that was the title but it really sounds like she says"thanks for making me wider" instead of thanks for making me a fighter-it just sounds too convincing.....

I thought the song, "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dog said, "Drop it like a saw, drop it like a saw..." as opposed to drop it like it's hot. I was convinced he liked to kill people by dropping flaming saws on them. I'm not sure why.

You know that song "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"? Well, I always thought the line, "Marconi plays the mamba," was "My pony plays the mamba." I like it better my way.

Oinky

"Bingo Chair and a Rhino" instead of "Big Old Jet Airliner."

"Blinded by the light...Revved up like a douche I got a boner in the night" instead of...what the heck are they saying?

"Super Salad Bar" instead of "Suicide Blonde"

"Secret Asian Man" instead of "Secret Agent Man"

I believed until recently that Queen's "we will rock you" when they say " waving your banner all over the place", that they actually sang "Blood and mud's all over the place"

Lilly

Sophie B. Hawkins song "As I lay Me down" I hear the background singers singing - "you're an asswhole"... I still swear that is what they are singing! Set me straight..

Grace Slick/Peggy

I was a big fan of KISS when I was young but I couldn't figure out why they had a thing against the police. In the song "God Of Thunder" the line is 'I gather darkness to please me', but I heard 'I gather darkness and police meat.'

Gary

My mum used to believe the lyrics to OPM's 'Enola Gay' were 'I know you're gay'.

She thought it was a very odd song.

Anon

That song that goes' You got the hooch', I thought they were saying 'You got the pooch'. I thought they were singing about some girl who has a dog.

Maddy

I don't know what the song is called, but the dude says "Excuse me while i kiss the sky"
I always thought he said "Excuse me while i kiss this guy"
