When I was fairly young, (probably around 5) I used to think the lyrics to the Madonna song "Express Yourself" were: "Make music, slap your dead baby"...imagine my parents suprise when they heard me singing those lyrics as apposed to the real ones: "Make him express himself, baby"
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- There was a Chinese takeaway near us called the Orient Express. I thought it was Onion Press. Yeah.— Spook
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - That because Gerber Baby Food had a baby on it real babies were put in there. Thanks a lot cousin!— Nicole
- in the song with the lyrics "take your passion" my sister used to always think it was "take your pants off"— Steped
- My mum always thought the lyrics to macy grays song was i try to say goodbye to my chook.— alana
