misheard lyrics

I thought the words to Put Your Records On by Corrine Bailey-Rae were "sapphire naked dreams" when they're really "sapphire faded jeans"!

Emmy

i thought the line "saving my face" from the KT Tunstall song of the same name was "shaving my face"

my dad always thought that in the song "like a prayer" - madonna, where it says "let the choir sing" he thought it said "level crossing" for years. i found it hilarious. haha

Jooles

in the song "take my breath away" by berlin, i thought that the lyrics was "took my brother away..." and i was so sad because someone took her brother away...
I'm a brother of three sisters, and I was also sad because of what would happen if someone took me from them - they will be sad... :(

Remember that song, "Love Potion # 9"

"But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine."

I always thought (until I was like 19!!!) he said,

"But when I kissed a cow and got it ready for a ride"

For years I thought the lyrics to "Everything Zen" by Bush were "Trotsie wants my wine" instead of "Try to see it once my way".

LA

I used to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and frequently sang along to the theme tune. I thought the end of the song was "Toodle pop" - as in a really twee english way of saying goodbye. It actually says "Turtle Power"! I was in fits of laughter for weeks!

When I was younger, we had a record player in my basement. My brother and I would listen to the Beegees, because they were out favourite out of all the records down there.

When I use to listen to staying alive I always thought the lyrics opposed to the actual ones

"Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born."

Were:

"You can tell a Willy Wonka,
Saying Gingerale, no time to talk."

I find it pretty hilarious since, that is absolutley not close to it. Up to a few weeks ago when I googled the lyrics, I truthfully had no idea what they were- and believed they were somewhere close to my misheard lyrics.

On "This Ain't a Scene (it's an arms race)" by My Chemical Romance...

"This thing this thing it's a god damn arse face"
I knew this probably wasn't right but thought it was better than the real words. It also fits in with how the first line "I am an arms dealer" sounds like "I am an arse feeler".

I thought that in the song "Last night i had the strangest dream" that swords and guns and UNICORNS were scattered on the ground. this made perfect sense because unicorns have sharp horns which could be used as weapons!

what?

I was about 10 when I started to get into theatre. My grandparents took me and my cousin to go see Mamma Mia! on Broadway. I liked it so much that I got the soundtrack. In the actual song titled "Mamma Mia!", Donna sings, "I can't count all the times I've cried over you." Up until a couple weeks ago, I though she was saying "I camped out all the times I cried over you." I pictured a scenario in which she couldn't even sleep in the same house with the guy.

I used to think that there was a line in the Box Tops song "Cry Like A Baby" that was "When I think about the good lucky caveman, I cry like a baby." (The line actually was "When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby.")

It made perfect sense in my head--the singer envied cavemen since they got to live in a world unsullied by pollution. I made up my mind that the song was an environmental message.

Psychotic Puggle

I used to believe, that when you had to sing a song, it didn't matter if you screwed up the lyrics with something you THINK souned like the words, because if YOU thought it sounded like it, everyone else wouldn't notice 'cause it souned similar.

Oh how wrong i was. I found out that is not true after i sang science i walked away from school,
when it should have been SINCE i walked away from YOU.

How embarrasing (sp?)

Intewwups-choo.

Gwen Stefani's What You Waiting For?

Lyric: Take a chance you stupid hoe

What I hear: Take a chance when you get home

i used to believe that the song 'youth of the nation' by POD went:

we are we are the youth of the nation we are we are human cycle ation

i also thought that 'hips dont lie' by shakira went
'im on tonight my hips dont lie and im starting to feel you boy. contractions, my ass wins cant you see baby this is perfection.'
