What about "Another one buys a Datsun." You know, instead of "Another one bites the dust.

When I was little I used to think that the song by The Mamas and the Papa's titled "Mama Cass" was "Mama Cat". I still do not know why.

I also used to think (about 2 years ago when I was 10) that the modern pop song where there was a line that said "chicks in Maui" was 'ticks in my wee", and I already think you know what I mean!

For years I used to sing ABBA's Waterloo as "Waterloo, I was receiving you on the floor, da-da da-da da-da..."

Somehow I suspect that it's meant to be SLIGHTLY more innocent than that!!!

i used to dj for my high school in the mornings before homeroom. in the middle of playing pearl jam's "rearviewmirror" our vp of academics (very attractive woman) comes running up proclaiming that the lyrics surely said "time to masturbate," when it was actually "time to emancipate" -- not a good misheard lyric at an all-boy highschool

I'm sure i'm not the only one *blushes*
"Walk like a chip pan" (egyptian)

my little sister's best friend thought that the Starship song said, "Milk Dud City, Milk Dud City on Rock and Roll!"

she thought that for years.

My ex boyfriend to this day sings 'She's a greasy lover' instead of 'She's an easy lover' when he hears that Phil Collins song on the radio. He refuses to believe that those are not the correct words... all I can do is laugh and think "Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!"

my friend Carol thought that the Shania Twain song was "And when I cook him dinner in a Barney hat" instead of "When I cook him dinner and I burn it black"

My wife, despite being told a number of times sings 'Heaven is a half PINT' to the lyrics of OPM's 'Heaven is a half PIPE'

...oh and to ABBA's 'Super Trouper', 9 times out of 10 you will hear from here 'Super-douper'

In "God Bless America" I thought the ocean was WIDE with foam. I also believed that in "Joy to the World" the Lord was CALM.

For years my Mom has sang "To legit to quit" as "Do the jerk, do the jerk at work", and she's a teacher

In the song, "We're coming to your town, we're gonna PARTY DOWN"....my brother sings it this way (he is 40 by the way)"We're coming to your town, we're gonna BURN IT DOWN"

My mother whose name is June used to like the Beatles' song "Hey Jude" until she found out that it wasn't "Hey June".

I used to think that the refrain to Pearl Jam's 'Glorifird G' went, '45 virgins on a pelican' instead of 'glorified version of a pellet gun.' Imagine the embarrasment when my mom heard me singing that in my room.

and then there was that Beatles song - "she's got a tick in her eye" instead of "she's got a ticket to ride"

I USED TO THINK THE CLASH WERE SINGING, "YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT, YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT....MADAGASCAR, MADAGASCAR!!!"
LATER I LEARNED THEY WERE SINGING, "ROCKIN THE KASBA"...HMMM...

When I was 4 I thought Paul Simon's Fifty Ways to Leave our Lover was:

Hop on the Back Jack
Make a New Plan Sam
You Don't Need to Wear Corduroys
Just Listen to Me

(real lyric - Coy to Roy)

I remember telling a friend that I didn't like the new Duran Duran song because of the terrible sexist lyrics... I had a big problem with them saying, "I'll slap that %itch when I find her."

(The Reflex - I'll cross that bridge when I find it.)
