misheard lyrics

I used to believe the song on Home Alone was "The cold wind blows around the street of Denmark..." and the other line "The music plays all night, it's idyl-idlyic" It still sounds a bit like that!

When I was little, I heard the last song that's played in Grease and thought John Travolta was saying "I got juice in the blender" instead of "I got chills, they're multiplyin." I have no idea how I thought that.

When I was younger I used to believe the song 'poetry in motion' was actually 'all the tree is ocean'. I really liked that song untill my mother corrected me.

my husband nearly killed me with laughter singing in the car one day! the song "keep it copacetic" was on the radio but he was singing it "get yer goat sally" and he really thought that was the words!

The line 'The dark sacred night' in What A Wonderful World is actually 'The dogs say goodnight'...

You sexy thing-Hot Chocolate
What the real lyrics are: "I believe in miracles"
What I heard: "I believe in marigolds"
Silly me!

In the 70's KC and the Sunshine band had a hit called something like "Get down tonight." or at least that was one of the lyrics. I had a lot of hearing problems as a kid ( infections, etc.) that affected my hearing. So I always thought that KC was singing "get calgonite" which I thought was some kinda brand name dish washing soap, and was always mystified why he was doing a song that was kinda a commercial and so into dish washing soap.

I always thought that the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" were "Trouble in the sewers" instead of "Trouble in the Suez."

The Macy Gray song, 'I try' has a line that says...My world crumbles when you are not here' but for years I was convinced it was 'I wear googles when you are not here'

When I was younger, I thought that John Berry's "She's Takin' A Shine" was really "She's takin' a shower" and would sing it this way at the top of my lungs in the car.

On the song Psycho Killer by Talking Heads he says "Psycho killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est" (French for "what is it?") I thought at first he was saying "Psycho killer, kiss Casey" and I wondered who Casey was and why the psycho killer would kill him/her

I could never understanding what was so wrong with being ; ( Born between two lovers ) until years later in high school when I realized it was; ( Torn between two lovers. )

In the movie Grease 2, one of the greasers tells the girls to "read it and weep!"after they win at bowling. I thought he was saying "read it in a week!". I thought that was a very strange phrase because that's a very long time to read the scores to their game of bowling.

In the song "It's a hard knock life" from Annie, I used to believe the song was saying "it's a hard enough life!" I was told a few weeks ago that it wasn't. I'm 16 years old.

My daughter's version of "The King of Rock and Roll" by Prefab Sprout is cute. Instead of "Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque," it's "Hot dog, jumping frog, I want cupcakes."

I like her version better.
