music: misheard lyrics

In the Prince song which goes
"I will die for you"

I always used to think it said
"Yabba Dabba Do"

So I just thought that Prince had a thing for Fred Flintstone or something

In the song Am I Wrong by Brand New I thought they said:
"And my night forget a spoon"
But actually they said:
"With a knife, fork and a spoon"
It makes more sense, but I don't get why they say that...

In "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe I thought they said:
"And she's full of rice, no"
But they actually say:
"And a shoe full of rice, no..."

Also in "Savin' me" by Nickelback I thought they said:
"'Cause I am Bass and I own my soul"
But they actually say:
"These iron bars can't hold my soul in"

The abba song, called "does your mother know" should be: "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, but does your mother know that you're out .... and l could chat with you baby flirt a little maybe".
When I was young, I used to think it was "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, I'M DANCING WITH ANOTHER GIRAFFE .... and l could chat with you baby, EARN A LITTLE MINI, but does your mother know that your out".

In the Fall Out Boy song "Of all the Gin Joints in The World" I could have sworn the line
"And, oh, the way your make up stains my pillowcase"
was actually
"And, oh, the way you make me seize my pillowcase"
I have no idea why though. Maybe Patrick Stump is in to smothering people?

In the Eminem song 'Evil Deeds' there's a line that goes:

'Woe is me, there goes poor Marshall again whining about his millions and his mansion'

But I thought it went 'whining about his millions and his pants'.

For "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, I misheard

"I really really really wanna zigazigah!"

as

"I really really really wanna sing you this song!".

But my version makes A LOT more sense. So I still sing it like that. And people say "So THAT'S how it goes!".

I always thought in the Weird Al song, "The Night Santa Went Crazy" the line that went, "And he slashed up poor Dasher just like Freddy Krueger!" went "And he dressed up poor Dasher just like Freddy Krueger!"
I always wondered who Freddy Krueger was, and why being dressed why him was such a bad thing.

I used to think that the song from CATS ("Gelical cats!") actually went "Genital cats!" I thought Genital Cats was like, another euphemism for crabs or soething, because the song went, "Genital cats are black and white. Genital cats are rather small...."

when i heard 'cuz i can' by pink for the first time i thought the lyrics were:

so I'll cash my cheques and face my fans
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fine because
I live a life of sin

though they say So I'll cash my cheques and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked because
I live a life of sin

In the song "Summer Nights" from Grease, when they said "Tell me more, tell me more.", I thought they really said "Tell me boy, tell me boy."

I thought it was strange that the female voices sang "Tell me boy, tell me boy, like, does he have a car?"...

My husband loves it when I sing along to the radio because I almost always have the lyrics wrong.

When I was young, the line in the song "Just Once" that says "I gave my all, but I think my all may have been too much." I thought he was singing "I gave my arm, but I think my arm may have been too much." I thought Quincy Jones was a one armed man who took VanGogh's idea just a little too far.

Along those same lines, I thought that Stevie Nicks was singing "Just like the one-winged dove" instead of "Just like the white winged dove"...I must have had a thing for amputees!

I used to think that the lyrics in the chorus for "Lay Down Sally" were actually "Ice Cream Salad".

My friend thought they were singing "Ghost Eraser" in the Speed Racer cartoon song. "Ghost Eraser, Ghost Eraser, Ghost Eraser, Go!"

My ickle sister used to sing karma chameleon like this ' coma, coma, coma, coma, coma to me leanne' coz leanne is her name lol.
and the bit that goes 'i'm a man, without conviction, she would make us all laugh by singing her version which was 'i'm a man, ain't got no knicks on'

I used to believe that one of the songs my kindergarten class sang to the American flag every morning had something to do with cake. You know,

"My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,
Of the icing (of thee I sing)."

In the movie "The Little Mermaid," when Ariel sings the song "I Want to be Where the People Are," there is a line that actually goes "bright young women, sick of swimming, ready to run."

I used to think they were saying, "Pregnant women sick of swimming ready to run."
