misheard lyrics

In the song "Greased Lightning" from the musical "Grease", there is a line "You know that ain't no shit, we'll be getting lots of tit". I was eight and had just got the record and played this line for my dad, who corrected me, saying it was "You know that when you shift, you'll be getting lots of tift". When I asked him what a 'tift' was, he said that it meant 'a rough time'. So for years I would regularly use 'tift' in sentences, such as "Wow, you'll really be in a big tift if the teacher sees you!" Only when I was in my teens did I realize that my dad simply didn't want me repeating the words 'shit' and 'tit' in public.

Dido's White Flag song says " there will be no white flag above my door" one day it was on the radio at work and this girl comes back into my inspection room and looks at me real puzzled and says " did she says, there will be no one left but my dog?" I about peed myself and told her to stop listening to so much country music

I used to believe that the offspring song have lyrics which went
'Donkey Kong, Everyday', but didnt realise the real lyrics were
'Dog eat dog, Everyday'
Imagine my surprise when i was beaten up by a major offspring fan for taking the p*ss

I'm almost 17 and have been a chili peppers fan since i was a kid. but you can't imagine how cool i felt when my older sis and i were jammin' to Under Th Bridge and she corrected me when i said "under the bridge up top." It's actually "under the bridge downtown." Also for the longest time i thought that Michael Jackson said "she was sitting at the table, you could see she was a negro." instead of "he could see she was unable."

The song "I got my mind set on you" by George Harrison...i thought he would say, "i got my mind sled for you" thinking that is song was about a sled for years and years and then one day in my late teens i asked my mom what my favourite song was? she couldn't remember but i knew that it was about a sled so i kept telling her that it was about a sled and that she has to remember because i used to sing and dance to it when i was much younger

I have two, one mine one my friends. I always have and always will believe that Celine Deon's "The heart does go on" goes "The hot dogs go on" and my friend things the chorus to Rob Zombie's Devil Man goes "Deaf old man, deaf old man calling, deaf old man runnin' through my head"!

when i was little and heard the song come on the radio, "Secret Agent Man," i used to believe that they were really saying "secret asian man," and that there was some little asian man running around in a trenchcoat and sunglasses

I used to think that the KD Lang song 'Constant Craving' was actually "Can't stand gravy"!It used to make me feel ill every time I heard it!

I used to think the national anthem went "our land is bound with nature strips" instead of natures' gifts. I believed this until i was 14 and our school assembly program contained the real words.

One of my friend's little brothers who was at least 5, thought the song "im blue" by Eiffel 65 went "im blue, im in need of a dime"

Lene Marlin - Sitting Down Here

"I'm sitting down here
But hey you can see me
Kind of invincible
You won't sense my stay"

and also, in the second verse

"I'm not tryna avoid you
I just don't wanna hear your voice
When you called me up in Boston
I don't really have a choice"

I used to sing, from KISS "I want to rock and roll all night- AND PART OF EVERYDAY!!" It was a 1.5 day party, i thought.

Also I thought the song, "Stop dragging my heart around" Was, "stop driving my car around"

My mom thought that Chumbawumba's Tub Thumping went "I got no towels, but I get up again" ("I get knocked down, but I get up again"). She had no idea what it meant and told me and my siblings it was a stupid song because it didn't make sense.

I was litsening to some song By macy Gray on the radio in the car with my very musical 3 year old brother, and the lyrics go : ' My world bobbles when your not here', and it was completely hilarious when he attempted to sing along as he started to sing ' i wore goggles up your side rear'!

aah!

When I was little I used to hear everyone sing the song, "David and Sally sitting in a tree K I S S I N G" Childishly I thought it was "David and Sally sitting in a tree
K I S S P M T"
