music: misheard lyrics

I listened to Led Zeplin singing

"I want to be your back door man"

for many years before I realized he was singing about anal sex. I thought he meant sneaking in the back door of the house, like they were having an affair or something. Thanks Tim for clearing that one up for me.

one of my favorite aunts thought the lyrics to the song VOLARE was..."..oh lordy, oh oh.."

At the end of the song "another one bites the dust" there is a part where Freddie Mercury keeps repeating Another One bites the dust, then he says "I'm Adopted". I thought, How cool, so am I! Never understood what it had to do with a shootout though. I always suspected that wasn't what he was saying, but until now, I never knew he was actually saying "Bites the dust-ah" putting a little more emphasis on the end of the word.
I think it was a secret message to his birth parents though.

I used to believe that during "The Star Spangled Banner"
that instead of 'by the dawn's early light' it would say,
'by the donnzerrli light' like it was a place or something!

my younger brother was singing to the christmas song "silver bells" and he sung it as "silver bears"

Im Blue by Eiffel 45... my cousin use to think it was "Im blue, if i was green I would die"

I don't know what the song is called, but the dude says "Excuse me while i kiss the sky"
I always thought he said "Excuse me while i kiss this guy"

In the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", I thought that instead of being destined to "go down in history", he would "go down and hit the reith"

When my sister was little she used to think BTO's song, Takin' Care of Business, was called Takin Care of Pidgeons. We had them play it at her wedding and everytime they came to the chorus the DJ turned down the sound and we all shouted at her "Takin Care of Pidgeons"

when i was little i used to believe that Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" was "Biggie G she's not my lover..." and noone could convince me otherwise!!!! :)

I used to think that AC/DC's song "Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)" said...

Dirty Deeds, Thunder Chief!

When I was small I used to watch The Land Before Time a lot. The theme song is 'If We Hold on Together'. Some of the lyrics are:

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

I somehow heard those lyrics (with a mangled tune to match) as:

Blazing motels
One thousand is the total
Waltzing at once
And we'll do it again

I believed this for a very long time. I knew it never made sense but accepted it as fact anyway.

Up until about 1 minute ago, for the past couple of years i thought Macy Gray's song sang: I try to say goodbye and i choke, i try to walk away and i stumble, though i try to hide it its clear i blow bubbles when u r not here - - - when the last line was actually: my world crumbles when u r not here!!! *idiot* lol

When I was young I had a friend who was sining the Sting tune "King of Pain", except he kept saying "King of SPAIN"

Actual lyrics to Edward McCaine's "Ill Be": I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide."
I heard "I'll be love's silver sigh." I like my lyrics better.

I thought Robert Palmer was singing, "She's a man, there's no other way to go!" in Simply Irrisistable.

The correct lyric is "She's all mine, there's no other way to go".
