A friend of mine said he thought the song lyrics "he's got the whole world in his hands" was "he's got the whole world in his pants" oops!

Cat

For the longest time I believed that the song HARK THE HERALD ANGEL SINGS was really about my Grandpa Harold. Why? Because when I asked him he said it was

my mother used to take me to church every sunday. just before all of us kids went to sunday school, we would sing the "gloria patri." i think this is in all presbyterian churches, but i'm not sure. the line goes something like "glory be to the father..."

up until i was maybe 15, i sang "guinea pig to the father..." nobody ever bothered to show me the words, and i sang it loud and proud every sunday.

When my sister was little she thought the song 'Who Built the Ark? Noah...Noah' actually went 'Who built the Ark? Noone noone'. She may have a point...

Kate

My mom used to think that there was a heavy-set man up in Heaven called Round John Virgin - from the Christman Carol "...round yon virgin, mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild...."

When I was young (well, up until I was 22 in fact) I always thought that in the popular hymn, the line was "I am the lord of the dancing bee" and not "I am the lord of the dance said he". Bang went my vision of a giant yellow and black striped being with a halo and beard.

I used to believe that Goria en Exelcis Deo (the carol) was actually Gloria in A Shell Station. I was always fairly confused as to why, during Christmas Mass, we sang about my Aunt Gloria getting gas. I would sing the lyrics quite loudly in church.

I also used to think God had a pet tortoise. Why? Well, one of the hyms we sang went "Great things he hath tortoise". What would you have thought?

Laurie

There is a chorus that talks about the "Cross I bear" a kid I knew used to get excited and asked his aunt if they could sing the song about the "cross-eyed bear"

Anon

I used to think the line in "Silent Night, Holy Night" that goes "...holy infant, so tender and mild" actually went "...holy imbecile, tender and mild." Now, I was a smart girl, and I knew what imbecile meant, but I thought maybe it had some esoteric meaning I wasn't aware of.

During the Catholic Mass, when we would sing "Grant us peace", my sister thought we were singing about some guy, Grantos Beece. She's 27 now and only figured out there's no Grantos about 3 years ago...

Jen

when I was at school we used to sing the Hymn, the Lord of the Dance. When it got to the chorus, the line went - "Dance Lord wherever you may be i am the Lord of the dance said he" However i thought the line went "dnace Lord wherever you may be I am the Lord of the dance setee" and surprisingly enough imagined the Lord dancing on a sofa!

When I first went to school, we sang the same hymn every day. no one ever taught you the words, you just picked tehm up as you went along. So I spent three years of my life thinking Jesus had a dancing sofa, cos I was singing "I am the Lord with the Dancing Settee" (instead of "I am the Lord of the Dance, said he")

Anon

The Christmas song "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" contains the line "most angelic hosts proclaim." As a kindergartner, I interpreted this as "toast and jelly coasts proclaim."

Vince

I remember being rather confused at the lyric in the popular Christmas carol that went 'Dawn we now our day of peril, fa la la, la la la, la la la'. I couldn't figure out why we were so happy about a day of peril, but hey. Christmas is weird.

Dr. Nightshade

When I was little, I liked this hymn at church that had the line, "turning his ears always to me", but I thought it was "Turning Ah Zeee", and preceeded to ask my pastor to play to play "Turning Ah Zee, puhlease". I think I've always been a little confused...

Jezarino

A line from the a christmas carol verse read 'most highly favoured lady' I used to think said 'most highly flavoured gravy'.

Mudspanker

There is a an Easter him called 'Thine be the Conqueror' which contains the line 'risen conquering son'. I used to think that line was 'risen concrete son' so for a number of years I thought Jesus was made of concrete and that's why he could rise again after being crucified.

Catherine

In one church hymn the words are- most highly favoured lady, but I used to think it was most highly flavoured gravy.

shedrez

In the hymn 'Lord, Have Mercy on Us All', I used to sing Lord have mercy on Azal and I thought "Azal" was a little man in a spaceship like the one in Button Moon!
