"No woman no cry" by Bob Marley. I always used to sing along to that song. My favourite line was - because of its appealing paradoxical poetry - "My fear ist my only courage, so I've got to push on through." A couple of days ago I had to learn it's "My feet are my only carriage". How boring!
Maybe i should have categorized this as a "rude bit", but its a misheard lyric after all.
I remember hearing Lenny Kravitz' "Dig In" for the first time. The chorus goes like this:
Once you dig in
You'll find it coming out the other side
And once you dig in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time
Im no pervert but i thought he sang "want your d*ck in" (you know the word, but not allowed to write it)... That makes the chorus go like this:
Want your d*ck in
You'll find it coming out the other side
Want your d*ck in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time
I thought to my self: Lenny Kravitz isn't gay, is he?
I used to think the song "love the one you're with" was called "love the one, your win.
I used to believe the Hall & Oates song was "Your Kiss is on My List" but it was really "Your Kiss is on My Lips". My friend Lisa and I had a small 10 year old girl argument over that one.
me and my friend always used to think that the song sunday morning after went "oh my god i woke up with the satan blues" instead of "oh my god i woke up with a snake tattoo"
my sis used to think in that britney spears song, 'baby one more time' the first words were 'oh buy them buy them' instead of oh baby baby!!
My little sisters used to sing about the "Muncho Man" (Macho Man by the Village People) and the opening lines to the Bugs Bunny show was "Over shoes, Candlelight" instead of "Overture, curtain, lights". They sang the words so loudly I could never get them to hear that they were wrong.
The song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), during the part were she sings "hold your head up, moving on", I thought she said "aluminum" instead of "moving on". I also thought she sang "sweet dreams are made of the years."
In the Peter Gabriel song, "Don't give up" I thought that he sang "Donkey Butt" instead of "don't give up" in the song and I never really understood why...
My Daughter, who is now 6, just reminded me how she used to think and sing the opening song to the show "Seventh Heaven", as "Seven Kevin", since her uncle's name is Kevin.
I used to think that Supertramp's song "Dreamer" was about me. I was convinced they were singing about "Dreama".
There's a line in "you're So Vain" by Carly simon that goes "wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend." My friends and I were listening to it one day and I said, "What does ploseman mean?" My friend London looked at me and said, "That's not a word." "Yes it is," I argued. "Ok, maybe it's postman," I relented a bit. So my friend Deziza went on dictionary.com and looked up ploseman and as you can probably guess, it's not a word. So then Lndon looked uo the lyrics and guess what, it was "close friend". I like my way better though.
When I first heard Lindsay Lohan's song "Over" from my CD, I thought the first line of the lyrics was 'I watched the world around me crumble' then my friend corrected me that is was 'I watched the walls around me crumble'
The Killers line "my affection comes and goes" - I always believed it was "my erection comes and goes".
Nice.
Remember Xanadu, that movie that came out in the 80's? In the song they go: "Xanadu, Xanadu, now we are here in Xanaduuuuu", at 8 I went with my teenage sister to the movies, thought they sang "Xanadu Xanadu, show me your ears".
I used to think that "I'm blue da ba dee da ba di" was "I'm blue I will bleed I will die" I was a morbid child...
i need you by savage garden.. (i think that's the title) i used to sing, ooo-ahh unjoowah instead of oo i need you now.. er w/e it says...hehe my parents still wont let me live it down...
Im Blue by Eiffel 45... my cousin use to think it was "Im blue, if i was green I would die"
I used to believe "Karma Chameleon" went "Come-a come-a come-a come-a come-a to me, Leon" lol
my friend used to thnk the lyrics to the corus of Blue (Da Be Dee) song by Eiffel 65 was "i'm blue, if i were green i would die, if i were green,i would die" only to find that the real lyrics were " im blue a da be dee a ba dee" it wasnt until we were singing to it together that i told her the words were just random word fragments!
