music: misheard lyrics

The Abba song Chiquitita, I corrected a friend of mine who was wailing his version out at the top of his lungs! because he sang "Take your teeth out, tell me what is wrong" instead of "Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong "

When we were teenagers, my sister and I heard the song on the radio, and she remarked how funny it was that we used to think it said "Goin' to the chapel and we're
gonna get mad at Harry." I replied, "Oh, yeah! Funny!"

This was really my friend's, and I was at her house, and she's singing along really loud in her room. I'm like, "Ashley, that came with words."

Champagne tippin' over in the sky

It took me ages to convince her that the real lyrics are ...Champagne Supernova in the sky

Singing at the top of my lungs (off key & voice cracking) into my boyfriend's ear.to a fave song by Queen: I sang

'Beelzebub has a cupboard put aside for me'

When he recovered from his attack of hysteria, he told me the real words. which are:

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me...

Thing is tho, I still sing this version.

My 3 year-old nephew was singing Bob the Builder, but instead of the real words that are....

Scoop, Muck, and Dizzy
Roly too, ....

He sang....

Too f***ing busy,
Rolly too...

He was walking around the house one day, and his mother and I both looked at each other and said "WHAT did he just say?!?"

"She's just a girl, with a big fat bum"

Billie-Jean lyrics "She's just a girl, who claims that I am the one


Once again, I can attribute this to my dear old Mum who honestly believed these lyrics were the real ones... we've had her hearing checked since the 80's...

Take That: Want you back.Want you back for good.

Instead someone told my Mum that these were the words.

Wash your back.
Wash your back for good.

I then picked up on them and was always going around singing it, and one day at school someone in my class corrected me. I was so embarrassed.

my little sister used to sing her version of Robbie Williams "Angels" but her bit was "And through it all she offers me protection, a little love and infection!" but it really goes "And through it all, she offers me protection, a lotta love and affection"This was actually another classic from my 5 year old sister, who was belting it out at the top of her voice. We just didn't have the heart to correct her!!
.

I thought that it was a song about Michael Jackson when I first heard it and I asked a friend if he had heard this song. He had me recite the lyrics. which I thought were

'Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove.

but the real words are....

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.


He laughed at me for days.

I used to think that Robert Palmer was singing "you might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love." instead of the real lyrics which are "...you might as well face it, you're addicted to love."

When my son ,Jay, was little, I would always sing the song "My Girl" to him, but I would change the lyrics to "I'll bet you'll say, what can make a Mama feel this way, My Jay, My Jay, My Jay, talkin' 'bout my Jay---------------------As we mostly listen to CHRISTian music, it was a long time until he actually heard the real song, when we were out one time. He was mad to find out that the song really wasn't about him.

All of my family and friends have always sung to the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray "I wear goggles when you are not here" when it actually says "My world crumbles when you are not near". We had no idea why she was wearing goggles but we say it anyway

My Brother thought that thelyrics to the Who song, Who are you, were "Blue Walrus: needless to say, I can no longer listen to the song without thinking of him singing the song!

I don't know what the real lyrics are or even what the title of the song is, but I do know that my misheard lyrics are probably not the right ones:

"Every morning there's an alligator hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed!"

In the Sound of Music song 'Favourite Things' in the line where it says "When the dog bites" i used to think it said "When the door bites" i never made sense to me but no one told me it was wrong until last year when i was singing it with my sister.

I thought the words to Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" were "Oh I, I pledge to say, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." Well, 18 years after the song was popular, I was singing it in the car and and my husband laughed at me and said the words are "I want a place to stay, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." I thought he was crazy, that didn't even make sense. I argued until we got to my sister's house where we looked it up on the internet. He was right.

In the song "Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan, I thought they were saying "If you're running out of peas/ you can have a bunch of mine." I seriously thought the song was about sharing vegetables!
