music: misheard lyrics

When i was about 4ish i thought the lyrics for "Funky town" (wah wah nee???) were.....fu**en town

When I was in an infant church school I used to think that the hymn that goes' I am the lord of the dance said he' was ' I am the lord of the dance settee.' The fact that it was completely illogical never crossed my mind.

Boy do I feel stoopid...
Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back...
Annoying as hell... yet somewhat catchy...

Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave.
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave.
It's just that no one makes me feel this way.

Go head be gone wit it...

I sang it something like this

Dirty babe...
You see these shackles baby I'm insane
I'll let you in me if I misbehave
I't just that Nor makes me feel this way...
Go head get down wit it.

I got visuals of a man being held in a cell with chains because he was crazy before letting someone in him. As far as the Nor part goes... don't know WHERE that came from...

i used to believe that twinkle twinkle little star went "tinkle tinkle little star what a wonder you far are" and was talking about a star weeing and being far away.

Until I was about 11 when we would watch baseball games or go to them I thought the line "and the home of the brave" was referring to the Braves (my favorite team) dugout...I didn't think it was fair to only sing praise of one team

There is this song by Avril Lavinge called Complicated. I loved the song, but I made a major mistake on a lyric.

Actual lyric:
"Your never gonna find me fakin'"

What I thought:
"Your never gonna find your bacon."

Yikes, big mistake. =X

When I first heard about the record "Tea for the Tillerman" (by Cat Stevens??? I don´t know) I thought it was "Teeth for the Tillerman"...

One of my friends in (a trade school here in Detroit, MI) Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts thought the lyrics to the George Harrison song "I Got My Mind Set On You" were "Look out! I might Sit on YOU!" ahahaha....I actually used that on the air once.

I used to think:

Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" was actually "Ring me collect"

The song Karma Chameleon says "with golden dreams" I thought it was "Red corn and Beans"

In Glycerine by Bush there is a line that says "my old friend fear and you and me", I thought it was "my old friend Phil and you and me"

it´s christmas time, isn´t it? so in "o holy night" it made sense to me to "..fall on your nose - o hear the angel voices" ouch, did anybody just rang a bell?

I used to think that in the National Anthem the part where they say "dawns early light" was "donzerly light" and that donzer was just a word I didn't know.

A family member thought -and probably still thinks -
"Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap" (from Dirty Deeds by AC/DC) was "dirty deeds and the thunder chief."

My husband told me once that when he was a kid he misunderstood a line from the Fleetwood Mac song "Second Hand News".

Real lyrics: I'm just second hand news...
He thought it was: I'm just standing here nude

When my son was small he thought BTO was "taking care of biscuits" instead of "taking care of business."

i used to think that the beach boys song Barbara Ann said " ba ba ba, ba ba barim...." until just a minute ago when i read this site....no matter what u might think, not all honors students are smart :-)

For fifteen years, I honestly thought the kid's gospel song "Special Specialities" was called (and sung) "Special Special Yellow Cheese." My Dad picked this up one day when he was driving us to church and laughed about it clear through the sermon.

In the song, "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance, there's a line that goes, "The bodies in the streets," but I swear it sounds like, "The bondage in the streets."
