misheard lyrics

I used to think that the lyrics to "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles were "Take the back right turn". So did my mom, and she's obviously much older than me.

There was a country song that my sister and I heard on the radio that went like this:

It's gonna take a lot of river
to keep this broken heart afloat

We thought it was "to keep this broken artichoke" and we sang it that way until our mom heard us and gave us the correct lyrics.

.-~*FAE*~-.

There's a heavy metal group called Disturbed,who has a song called Stupify.The correct lyrics were "Look in my face,step into my soul,I begin to stupify.Rock!"For the longest time I thought it was "Deep in my plate,deep in my bowl,I eat Spaghetti-O's!Rock!"I have absolutely NO IDEA where that came from!

Too obsessed with pasta

I play the piano and once when i was going out with one of my ex-girlfriends we decided to have a sing-song, revealing that for many years (and up until then) she thought the lyrics "Don't cry for me Agentina" were actually "Don't cry for me Aunty Tina"
Is Madonna's version of this song really that bad!?

A friend used to think the lyrics to "Walk this Way" by the Beastie Boys was "Work and Slave" How fantastic is that, I still sing it like this today and chuckle.

I used the think that the song "Dude looks like a lady" was "Do that Lucky lady" until I looked at this site and realized I was wrong.

When I was in 7th or 8th grade, "Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins was a popular song on the radio. Near the end of the song there was a passage I had difficulty figuring out the lyrics too - eventually I decided they went like this:

You play your fiddle
Well I could get it in an hour
I'll play your fiddle
For an hour

It was a few years later that I discovered, while looking at the liner notes for the album it's on, how the lyrics actually went:

You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself
For wanting more

Practically the same, right? Right.

i used to think the Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like A Lady" was "Do the Slacky Lady"

my mom used to think that the lyrics to Beyonce's song "Baby Boy" were Baby boy say amma ma when it was really Baby boy you stay on my mind. amma in our language is mom so she was like "baby boy say mom?" and would start laughing. we correct her but she still says amma ma

me and my friend were singing 'i believe in a thing called love' the other day....and instead of the lyrics *just listen to the rhythm of my heart* she sang * just suck into the rhythm of my car*....I'm not really sure where she got that one from, but since then its been her lyrics everytime!

my friend used to think that the song wherever whenever went like this:

"lucky for my mom ya shes a docter, lucky for my dad ya hes a nurse"

when it really goes:

Lucky you were born that far away so we could both make fun of distance.
Lucky that i love a foreign land for the lucky fact of your existance

I used to think, that song(cant remeber who its by feats vanessa calton) called Big yellow taxi actually said "put up a f*****g lie" when it actually said "put up a parking lot" i am really stupid

mongoose

me and a friend of mine used to think that the lyrics to the
darkness'song 'i believe in a thing called love' were:
i believe in a thing called love, just suck into the rhythm of my car instead of:
i believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart....
we still sing it our way!

My cousin and I went to a aerobics class, and they played 'raise a little hell'. right then she told me that all her life she (until now) she thought that it was 'raise a little elf'. I couldn't finish the class I was laughing so hard.

I used to believe that in the song "The Boogie Man", boogie man was pronounced booger man. I used to picture a giant booger dancing down the street.

when i heard "livin lavida loca" i thought that it was "living to be thy loco" I found out that that wasn't what it was when i was in the car and my sister asked if i wanted to "live to be her loca" i said no

My mum used to think that the song "elevation" by U2 said, "Hell Damnation" and everytime she heard it on the radio she would say, "oo! this isnt a very nice song" hehe! when she found out the real words we teased her for having a mind full of rude words.
