misheard lyrics

When I was really young my baby sitter loved TLC and Instead of Don't go chasing waterfalls (which i just learned were the lyrics a month ago and i am 11)I used to sing Dont go Jason Butterball

I can now always hear Sash's song, Encore Un Fois as "a cauliflower" after hearing a young child singing it in a shop a bursting out laughing!

Until recently I thought the lyrics to Eiffel 65 song were "i will die in Aberdeen, I will die in aberdeen." I always wondered what this French band had to do with Scotland! Lyrics really are Im blue, da ba dee, da ba dye etc

my mum used to think that the macy gray song went 'i try to say good-bye and achooo' (as in a sneeze!) until i corrected her that it was 'and i choke' man was she red-faced!

In Girl Guides (Brownies mainly), we also sang this song...and I thought we were singing "I'm being eaten by a broken sticker" and I never understood why...A few years later I mentioned it to my mother who had been a leader and she said it was really "I'm being eaten by a BOA CONSTRICTOR"...Makes so much more sense now.......

My friend believes and still argues wiv me over the Justin Timberlake in Cry me a river 'The damage is done so i better be leavin' she thought it was 'Jammy J is done so i better be leavin'. i guess it makes sense.

"On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
3 french hens,
2 turtle dogs,
and a partridge in a pear tree!"

The moment that the rest of my family figured out I had the words wrong was captured with my Fisher-Price tape recorder. I still have the cassette.

When I was maybe 4 or 5, the song 'Taking care of business' came on the radio.. and I sang 'Taking care of biscuits'! I thought it was that until I was like 7 or 8. My parents still make fun of me everytime it comes on the radio.

My mother seriously thought Dido's song 'White Flag' went '...I will poke my eyes out and surrender..' rather than '...i will put my hands up and surrender...' And she's old. What a dumbass!

Louise

One day, a friend of mine and I were listening to All-American Rejects, and "Swing, Swing" came on. We both started sing, but instaed of singing "Swing swing swing from the tangles of my heart..." My friend was singing "Swing swing swing from the TABLE of my heart.." When I pointed this out to her, she told me that she could never figure out why the song made no sense.

I though at the end of Fatman Scoop's Be Faithful that he said 'Batman School, broke the clamp'

Instead of Fatman Scoop, crooklyn clan

Man, i'm dumb.

Confoozed

I believed for a long time that the first verse of silverchair's 'Freak' went 'No more maybes/your baby's got rabies/sitting on the floor/in the middle of the Emmys.' and this had actually happened - Daniel Johns's girlfriend had caused a commotion at some award ceremony by refusing to sit on a chair because she was crazy.

i don't know where this came from, as i knew NOTHING about Daniel Johns or his girlfriend(s).

Eat A Beaver, Save A Tree

my 5 yr. old neice thinks that the song Senorita, by Justin Timberlake goes " senorita if feel for you, you feel a face that you don't have to."
When it is actually, " You deal with things that you don't have to. "
She just sang it a laughed so hard.

ADR

I thought the fatmann scoop lyrics was fatman scoop rock the planet...well he does when he walks!

Kim

I always thought Celine Dion, in"It's All Coming Back to Me Now," sang..."It was more than all your lousy love." Now I realize she sings, "It was more than all your laws allow." I thought she was just rude !!!

Madeleine

I used to think the lyrics to Little Miss can't be wrong by the Spin Doctors was Little Bitch, Little Bitch, Little Bitch can't be wrong. Hey, it still makes sense.

my brother used to think that Manfred man sung "ha ha Santa Claus" instead of "ha ha said the clown"
quite rude to laugh at Santa, I thought he would find nothing in his stocking ...

My little brother (he's 5) sings the chorus from the Jimmy Eat World song "little biddle in the middle exercise" instead of little girl you're in the middle of the ride."

He will still argue with you if you try to correct it.
