instead of "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" we thought it was "dirty deeds dunder cheese."

instead of "pour some sugar on me" we thought it was "hot town juvenille love"

instead of "tainted love" we thought it was "chains in love"

instead of "maybe im the one" we thought it was "baby on the wall"

instead of "shut the door baby" we thought it was "sugar plum fairy"

instead of "tainted love" we thought it was "chains in love"

I used to believe that the song "Manic Monday" by the bangles went....

I used to think the end of the song Rockaby Baby went like this:

"And down would come baby...cradle and DOLLAR!"

I thought that in Ride The Wings Of Pestilence by From First to Last was

'I'll drag your body to the ground'.

When actually it was

'I'll drag your body to the car.'

And the same song

'And i'll be a racist'

When it was actually

'As blood races down my arm'

When I was in elementary school we used to listen to 60's 70's and 80's songs and I thought the lyrics for "Hey Mickey" were "you take me by the paw when you take me by the hand instead of "you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand"

One day while rideing in the car with my 2 friends the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Benningfield came on. So we all started to sing along. As i started to listen to my friend singing next to me. I realized that she was saying:


"Release Your Intermissions,
Feel The Rain On Your Skin."

Its Inabitions, not Intermissions.

I used to believe the lyrics in Theory of a Deadman's "No Surprise" were..

"Who would ever think I'd go and end up,
Like all the other guys that you've gone and F***ED!"

its actaully

"All the other guys that you've gone in for"

Okay, you know the song Apologize by Timbaland? Some of the real lyrics go like this:

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late.

Well, I thought it said this:

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say hey
That it's too late to palogize (?), it's too late
I said it's too late to pathogize, it's too late.

me being a confused person i never got the lyrics right... or the purpose to any of the lyrics... but anyway, there is a song called things we go through by: hawk nelson and part of the lyrics go.. stand up for what you beleive and shout to.. but i thought they went... stand up for what you beleive is jollytrue... now since this is a canadian band and im from the u.s. i thought canadians had a different set of words then us... like they say eh alot ive heard... so i thought jollytrue was also another word of theirs.. to this day i still dont sing it the right way... its to hard to learn any differently for me!!!

wont change my way

Recently my sister told me that in Fallout Boy's 'The Take Over The Break's Over' lyrics were actually 'Flash flash flash, photography', not 'Scratch scratch scratch, for tiger-people'. We both though that was pretty funny.

I used to believe that the song saying the line "Jehoviah Jira, my provider, your grace is suffecient for me" that it was "Ching Chong McGiver, my provider, you grace is a fishy for me"

In the Wings song "Listen To What The man Said" it says "the wonder of it all, baby". When I was little I thought it said "don't want to rub it off baby"
Hey it made pretty good sense to me at the time! LOL

I used to think the lyrics for sexy can I was "...It's so cold out homie, let me go and get my camera. All I wanna know is sexy can I..."

Anon

I used to think that the song 'Sexy Back' by Justin Timberlake for the lyrics on the chorus i thought it was 'Go hippy go with it, Go hippy go with it' instead of the actual lyrics.... 'Go head be gone with it, Go head be gone with it' I stopped thinking that until my brother asked me what i was singing then he told me i was wrong... i was devastated :p

Silly

When I recently first heard Incubus's "A Kiss to Send us off" I was convinced they were telling the listener to "Kiss an Elephant!"
