misheard lyrics

In the 80's, in my early teens, I used to think that one line of the lyrics in "The Final Countdown" by Europe was "We're heading for peanuts" - when it's really "We're heading for Venus"...

The Canadian Rock group Harlequin had a hit with a song called "Innocence." I swear that in live shows they would sing "Anal Sex" - that 's all you ever needed.
"Anal Sex" - that' all you ever need from me......

i was positive the lyrics went
'another one bites the doctor'
instead of
another one bites the dust
i fought with my mom about this one

For years I thought that ABC's 'when smokey sings said 'When Smokey Sings, I hear violence', thinking that smokey drove people to fighting. My brother pointed out that it's 'I hear violins'. I reckon either makes sense though. No?

...I thought that in Jailhouse Rock, Elvis was singing "everybody in the wholesale block". And I'm not even Jewish!

It's probably unfair to snitch on someone who's not here to defend himself, but someone I knew used to think Nirvana's "I'm a Negative Creep" was "I'm an egg in a tree". Oh for shame.

me brothers and I were listening to the radio and mark said, "I don't get it, if he doesn't want her driving his car around, why doesn't he take the keys?" We were listening to Stevie Knicks and Tom Petty, the lyrics are "...stop dargging my 'heart' around...! bah!

When I was eight, I loved Madonna's "Papadompe Beach." Didn't get why she was in trouble, though....

Embaressingly, i used to belt out th words.."when the blood is shed im alone with you" instead of.."with the birds ill share this lonely view" to the chilli's scar tissue!!!

I used to think that the song "blinded by the light" had a verse in it that said "stunk up like a douch and a rubber in the night" now i can hear the lyrics more clearly i think it says"stuck out like an illusion in the middle of the night" who knew? my husband thought the same thing...

whe i was about 7 my mom,dad,sister and i were in the car on the way to dinner. the song "blinded by the light" came on and i thought the line was "wrapped up like a douche". it's actually "wrapped up like a deuce". hey...i was 7!

When I was little, I always thought the song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC was actually "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief" and it was about a wrestler. "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief...Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief"

My sister used to think that the lyrics in the theme tune to Neighbours went "with a little bit of stanley" instead of "a little understanding"!

Again, the mom though the Stones were saying "I'll never leave your Pizza burning" instead of "I'll never be your beast of burden"

One day on the way to school, my mom was singing along with the radio to the Beegee's song "More than a Woman", and I heard her say---"Bald-headed Woman, Bald Headed Woman to me", instead of More than a Woman!

I'll never forget the day my friend, Krissy, called me to tell me about this great new song, but she warned me that the lyrics were weird. I asked her to sing it. She sings "Hot potatoes, hot potatoes,...Hot potatoes. Hot potatoes, hot potatoes,...hot potatoes. Oh, oh, oh, hot potatoes." I cracked up! She was singing "Amadeus"!

My sister always got the lyrics to songs wrong. For the longest time she thought the Eagles' song Witchy Woman was really saying "Oooh ooh Wind-chilly Woman!"
