misheard lyrics

I'm sure my mother was half horrified, half amused when she came upon her 8 year old daughter (me) dancing around and singing "Bootylicious" at the top of my lungs. With one minor change in lyrics:
"I don't think you're ready for the spaghetti, I don't think your ready for the spaghetti...."

My sister used to think that the Blues Travelers song "Run-around" started "Hooked by a reel at a fishing party" instead of "Once upon a midnight dreary"

Maddie

My parents used to listen to country music all of the time so I knew most songs that came onto the radio. I was convinced that the lyrics to David Lee Murphy's "Dust on the Bottle" said "don't let it fool ya, my wife's inside" instead of "don't let it fool ya, about what's inside"

Men At Work - Land Down Under

"he just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich"

I knew this didn't sound right unless the man from Brussels and full of muscles was a bit vacant.
But I had no idea what else it could be. I looked it up and found out it really says

"he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich"

Whatever that is..

RHCP- scar tissue

"with birds I share this lonely view"

I always thought it said with birds and shed it's alone with you

my mum used to think the line "you missed a spot over there" in "Stacy's Mom" (by Fountains of Wayne) was "yo Mr Spock over there". She thought that was Stacy's Mom's way of flirting with the guy! we teased her when we found out...

I was listening to the New Found Glory song "Sonny" - it talks about a person who has died and I heard one line that said "pictures fade away, coz never means forever." This line really impacted me - I thought it was a really clever way of putting it, because when someone dies the thing that hurts the most is that you will never see them again, and that means for forever! I was very disappointed to learn that it was actually "pictures fade away, but memories forever..."

My boyfriend's seven-year-old daughter was singing "Do the Funky Lady!" to Aeosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." So funny!

I thought Pink's "You make me sick" was "you make me sick, you make me look like a candlestick" LOL

Rice

The first time my mate played me the slipknot song "people = shit" he didnt tell me the name of the song. Consequently when it came to the chorus i thought he was saying "people who eat horse shirts!"

There is a DevilDriver song that I really love called "swinging the dead". The first lines are`:

Pick it up get it up
the chillin, thrillin sounds
of the rock and roll huanting

Now when I heard this song I was convinced it was:

Pick it up, get it up,
thats the swinging sound
of the rock and roll honkey

I later looked up the lyrics to check this and laughed myself silly at the mistake.

The Eiffel 65 song Blue (about a blue colored alien, as far as I can tell?!)has lyrics that say "I'm blue; da bah dee, dah ba di" but I heard
"I'm blue; I was green, I was dyed..."

No matter which way, the song lyrics are odd...

Hue knows?

I thought that the song "Built this City" by starship went as follows. "Milk and Cereal, Rock and Roll"

when i first heard "i'm a slave" by britney spears i thought she was saying "i'm a snail forever"

When I was little I thought the song I Want Candy by Aaron Carter meant that he wanted candy, to eat. And since i couldn't understand what he was rapping i thought he was singing about different kind of candies.

I thought, for a very long time, that in the song (I think it is by Joni Mitchell...) in which the line is 'Pave paradise, put up a parking lot' the line was really 'Gay pair of guys, put up a fucking lie'. I was corrected by a friend when we heard it in a large store and I commented on how I wouldn't have thought they could play a song with the f word in a mall.

Maria Isabel

In "Will you be there" by Michael Jackson, I misheard the first line as:

"Hold me, like a pair of Air Jordans".

I just found out the right lyrics now reading this website.

Scandia

I put submitted this to another website under a fake name, but I don't think they ever used it...When I was listening to a mxpx cd (crappy cd, by the way) my mom mishead a line that goes 'I'm so tired of masquerading' as 'I'm so tired of masturbating' She told me she wouldn't allow her daughter to listen to such filth! I had to show her lyrics to get her to believe me.

I still am not telling my name
