On the 'Dead Ringer for love', song by meatloaf and Cher, I always thought that the lyrics were: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hangin' round with George!' The actual lyrics are: 'Ever since I can remember you've been hanging 'round this joint!' I used to wonder who George was and why he was such a good friend?!? I still prefer my version and I still insist on singing those lyrics when I hear that song.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - My mum always thought the lyrics to macy grays song was i try to say goodbye to my chook.— alana
- in the song with the lyrics "take your passion" my sister used to always think it was "take your pants off"— Steped
- i believed that michelle gayle's sweetness song contained the lyrics shade in sheep shit!— andrew
- I used to believe that the lyrics to Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" were "You give love a Band-Aid".Anon
- Good looked exactly like George Washington.
I have no idea where I got this.— Leen
