music: misheard lyrics

my mom has this superchic{k} cd that she really likes if shes in the rite mood and she and my sister would sing along to this song together (it was called super trooper) and for a really really long time i thought that the lyrics were

"you were meant to live like Kiman Tay,
charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"

wheras the real lyrics are

"You were meant to live large,
come on take charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"
i seriously thought that Kiman Tay was some really famous person that i'd never heard of before but u should want to be like them. i was 14 too. oops.

I used to believe…

the first time i listened to The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" , i though they said "open up my biggest eye" instead of "open up my eager eyes" O_o i thought they talk about a transexual or something!!!

my dad told me that when he was a kid a song came out that went ' Denise , Denise', Denise , Denise.
He used to think it was ' beneath the knees , beneath the knees ' . He used to wonder how you could just love a woman beneath the knees.

This is for the 1979 hit song “I Got You” by the New Zealand band, Split Enz. I always thought that the line that actually read “I don’t know why sometimes get frightened” was “I don’t know, I sometimes I get five cents” up until recently when I look up the lyrics on the web.

me and my brother used to think that the words to the beautifal people by maralin manson was abidalabeebaa abidalebeebaa now!!lol!!

In Fall Out Boy's song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued", I thought the lyrics were:

With that sweat go on your feet
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

But it actually goes:

We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

I'm not even sure of the name of the song but I know that I used to sing:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hundred children and not a crop in the field"

But the actual lyrics were:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field"

Believe me, my parents used to have me sing that for people all of the time!

Oh yeah, and I used to mess up Jingle Bells too, I'd sing it "horpin snorpin sleigh"

I used to believe that Donna Summers wasn't singing "She works hard for the money," but rather "she was hot for the money." Yeah. I used to think that the song was about a gold digger.....

as it is nearly the world cup i will use a world cup song that i misheard lyrics to
with the song "3 Lions" by the lightning seeds i used to think that they were singing "3 lines on a shirt" and not the more obvious choice of lyrics "3 LIONS on a shirt"

When I was a kid I was a massive S Club 7 fan { wow that took alot of courage to say } and I thought the words to part of their song Don't Stop Movin was "Teacher's got us swirling around".

It was actually "DJ's got us going around."

My daughter told me last year, at age 14, that when she was younger she thought the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" were....... "Later on we'll EXPIRE, as we dream by the fire...."

In the Snow Patrol song "Run", he sings "Slower slower, We don't have time for that, All I want is to find an easier way, To get out of our little heads".

I thought it was actually "to get out of our yellow hats". I thought they must be wearing really tight hats.

I thought for ages on the song 20th Century Boy by Marc Bolan & T-Rex, the verse was "wine tastes fine, wine tastes good, something, something, just like Robin Hood!" when the REAl ones are "friends say it's fine, friends say it's good, everybody says it's just like rock'n'roll!". I still have no idea where the Robin Hood bit came from lol

Although the lyrics to B*witched's C'e Lai Ve (or whatever it is) are "Say you will, say you won't, say you'll do anything, C'e Lai Ve!" I still am obsessed with the words being "Say you will, say you won't, say you'll do anyhting, celery!". Well, mine are better :) lol

When I first heard the song "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky, when the singer got to the line "Ahye of the Tigah!" (That's what it sounds like to me) I thought they were saying "Oh-Oh-Oh Tyla!".

Ok I'm 24 years old right now and I just realized 2 weeks ago that in Huey Lewis's song he sings, "It's hip to be square". All these years I thought it was, "Let's hit the B-Square."

I just happened to think of the song the other day and I told myself it doesn't make any sense, then it dawned on me that it's HIP TO BE SQUARE.
