misheard lyrics

I thought the song "Hit me with your best shot" was "Hit me with your pet shark"

I remember hearing this great song with wacky lyrics by the Go Go's, called "Alice The Seal". I was very disappointed to find that it was actually "Our Lips Are Sealed".

I used to believe that in "Combine Harvester," by the Wurzels, they sang "Come on now let's get together and burp in harmony." Would you believe.

I used to be really into Johnny Horton when I was younger (probably because of that amusing alligator line in "Battle of New Orleans"). Anyways, whenever I listened to "Sink the BIsmark" (and probably cause I didn't clean out my ears as often as I should have) for about a year I heard "the world depends us" line as the "world had been so nuss". I was corrected (and probably told to do a better job of cleaning my ears) when I asked what "nuss" means.

I had no idea what a “pufferbelly” was for an embarrassingly long time. The closest thing I had as an idea for what it meant was that a “pufferbelly” was some kind of humanoid, due to the Wiggles performing the song. It was only until I was in my mid teens that I had to be told they were steam engines!

I used to think that “The Fine Columbian” line from Deacon Blue by Steely Dan was “Fine Combed Ambience.”

I used to think Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “That’s a Cold Shot Baby” was “Let’s Go Shopping”

When I first heard "The Twelve Days of Christmas" on the radio in my parents' car, I could not understand the lyrics very well. I thought the last line of each verse was "And a parpridge pinapear tree." I have spelled them exactly the way I heard them about about age six. I had never heard of a partridge, let alone a parpridge. I really didn't know what a pinapear tree was. I still think it is a rather silly song.

Merry Christmas!

I swear I heard a Disney Channel/Radio Disney song where the chorus was a repeated “Damn it”

Instead of "Talk to me, boy", I thought the song "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake contained the line "Dr. McCoy".

I used to think that the lyric in Deck the Halls was "'tis the season tube-ey, jolly." Tube-ey as in another word for tubular.

Doing just Tubular

The song "My Country 'Tis of Thee" contains a phrase "Of thee I sing." I thought, when I first heard it (and sang it, along with however many other 5-year-olds) I thought that "My Country Tizzaly" contained the phrase "Of V.I.C," and I had no idea what V.I.C. stood for.

I thought the line in Papa Roach- Last Resort that says "Would it be wrong would it be right, if I took my life tonight? Chances are that I might" actually said "Chances are dynamite". I figured it meant he was going to blow himself up with dynamite.

For a long time I thought the song "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred was saying "I'm a martyr, you know what I mean", instead of "I'm a model, you know what I mean". I didn't question it for ages, as I just figured some people would find it sexy if someone was willing to suffer for their beliefs.

There's a line in Donna Lewis's "I love you always forever" that says "You've got the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen". Up until recently, I thought she was saying "the most stumbling blue eyes I've ever seen". I figured Stumbling meant something similar to "stunning" in this context

When I was a kid and I watched The Powerpuff Girls, I used to mishear the credits theme's line "Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter" as "Bubbles, she likes to play with the water". Not too bad? Well, I misheard "Buttercup, and she's the toughest fighter" as "Buttercup, and she's a topless spider".
And this isn't something I misheard, but my friend said she misheard "Blossom, commander and the leader" as "Blossom, she really is the leader".

I used to sang wrong in the song "Filhote do Filhote" by Rubinho do Vale, in the stretch "I live in a beautiful blue ball that floats through space", until last week I sang "I live in a beautiful blue house that floats through space".

I had a Wiggles video with a song about a grocer that went "lettuce sing, fresh fruits and veggies, lettuce sing, fruit in the bag"

I thought it said "fruit in the back" and that it was mean to put fruit in the back while veggies were in the front

I thought "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits was a fictional advertisement for a store like Best Buy, and that they were trying to get you to buy something more expensive than just a CD with music on it by insulting the artist.
