I used to think that Micheal Jackson was Elvis Presley's son. I have know idea why. It still puzzles me to this day. Plus, wouldn't his name be Micheal Presley?

When I was little I thought Madona was some sort of ancient egyptian singer and she died a long time ago. I also thought they just recently found her tomb.

The chorus to the song "Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe says
"We were only freshmen" ... I had a friend who would sing "We were only FLESHmen"
In the song "Busy Child" by The Crystal Method, there is a line that repeats a lot that says
"I guess I didn't know" ... the same friend misinterperated this as "I guess I didn't notice"
Not that I haven't had my share of misunderstandings of a lyrical nature... a few classics are:
White Zombie's "More Human than Human" -- "More human than you, man"
Gin Blossoms "Hey, Jealousy" -- "Hey, Chelsea!"
and in "Daria" by Cake, John McCrea sings the words "icing on a cake" at one point... for years I thought he was saying "I sing on a cake" ... what a revelation that was, when the truth dawned on me!
I thought Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers lyrics were:
"Dream of midget fornication"
as opposed to:
"Dream of Californication"
I often wondered why the song had no reference to its title!

Wuthering heights, I heard it as:
here on the wild, windy moores we'll roll and fall in brie.
you had a temper, like my jealous seal, so hot, so greasy
I hated you, badminton
bat cream in the night
you told me not to lose my flight
leave behind eye
wuthering, wuthering, wuthering nights
it's me, im kathy i've come home, come meet the animals
after that it's normal til:
I find the roof falls without you.

When I was about 9, i herd the song "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson. I could'nt really hear the part where he was singing "the beautiful people" part so it sounded like he was saying "Go suck a meatball, go suck a meatball."
(I finally memorized all of his songs at my age now and hes my favorite musician!)
lol... go suck a meatball...thats my quote now! lol

the other day my boyfriend and his friend were in the car and we heard the Who's Eminence front and when it goes : Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on. My boyfriend and his friend started singing : "from behind ram it in the butt." They both have always thought the words said that...now we sing it like that

My mom, her friends, and I were talking one day about how songs paint a picture in your head. We were listening to an oldies station and a song came on that goes "As I write this letter I send my love to you..." and my mom asked me what picture came into my head. I replyed a cowboy riding into the sunset. I had no clue why she looked so confused until she asked me to sing what I just heard: "As I ride the saddel I send my love to you..."
She still pickes on me about that

Similarly to another post here, I thought the lyrics to Madonna's 'Erotic' were 'hey Ronnie, hey Ronnie, put your hands all over my body'. I didn't realise until a couple of years ago what they actually were (I'm 17 now).

When I was little I used to think that the Sheena Easton song "Morning Train" went like this: "My baby takes the morning drink, he works from 9 to 5 and then, he takes another home again to find me waiting for him . . . " My parents used to die laughing as I strolled around the house singing at the top of my lungs. I always took offense, never knowing why it was so funny.
I once thought that if you listened to Led Zeppelin you would explode. This was because of the raw power of the band. There music would instantly become too much for your body to take.
I believe someone told me this but I don't know who.
I've been listening to Zep for several years now. I haven't exploded yet.

I used to think that the lyrics to the song Daddy's Money by Ricochet were "She's a goodbye swisher, a dynamite kisser. Hungry as a turn up free..." when they're really "She's a good bass fisher, a dynamite kisser. Country as a turnip green..." I found out I had it wrong when I was singing with my friend. She thought it was pretty funny!

me and my friend were listening to Save Ferris's version of Come on Eileen, and we started to sing along.
