misheard lyrics

I used to think that the lyrics "Hitch a ride" in the "Superman" song were "Hit yer eyes". Consequently, whenever it was played at home I used to run around the house punching myself in the face.

That Aerosmith song with the lyrics "Dude looks like a lady", well I always thought it was "Do it like a lady"... which would be a better song -in my opinion

Part of the national anthem (UK) goes 'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'. I thought it said 'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'. This made sense, seeing as at that time there were some twins called Laura and Victoria, so clearly the song was dedicated to them.

Anyone remember the kids show Carmen San Diego? The song at the opening says "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" I babysat a 4 year old that watched the show and one day I heard him singing the song except he was singing "Where in the hell is Carmen San Diego?"

My younger brother used to think that song by the blue man group, instead of "I'm blue, babadi abadi..." went, "Oh, I'm a bee. I'm a guy. "I'm a bee. I'm a guy." etc. It was hilarious he never could figure out why we would laugh like maniacs when he sang along.

eagles forever!

well up untill a day ago i thought the lyrics to razorlight 'before i fall to pieces were, 'dont wanna kidnap the truth and the ghost she ate' truth being the name of a ghost. it really is 'I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate'. you can see how i got it wrong right?

I used to sing the lyrics to Robbie Williams's Angels 'Through it all, she offers me me protection, a lot of love and erection'... it kind of makes sense but the real lyrics are a lot nicer

Lily Booth

When I first saw "The Sound of Music," I was baffled as to why they would be sending Maria away when they'd just sung about how good she was at solving all sorts of difficult problems. "How do you solve a problem like Maria...?"

It wasn't until much later that I realized Maria WAS the problem.

When I heard "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", I always heard "He knows if you've been bad or good" as "he knows if you've been batter good". I thought of cake batter at first, but then I reasoned that "batter good" was an odd term for "very good".

Batter Good

This was actually done by my nephew, but when he was small, "California Dreamin'", by the Mamas and the Papas, would come on the radio and he would start off singing "I love Lisa Brown, and the sky is gray" (not "All the leaves are brown...").

I used to think the lyrics to the Pink Floyd song were "We don't need no Dukes of Hazzard" instead of "We don't need no dark sarcasm" I think it was because my mother wouldn't let me watch the show.

watching whatever I want now

James Bond theme by Gladys Knight - Licence to kilt - listen to it - that's what it says!

Billy Ocean - Wanna go an' get stuffed (the tough get goin') etc...

When I was 3 or 4, the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" was a big hit - it was my favorite song because I thought they were talking about a bear!

Instead of "some of them want to use you, some of them want to be used by you" I always heard:

"Summer bear want to use you, summer bear want to be used by you"

ahhahaha...i still laugh at that. Kinda morbid, but I love animals, what can i say??

I used to think that Tori Amos song was 'Honey bring the toast to my lips...he's got a big d***'!!! It's meant to be 'honey bring it close to my lips...it's got to be big'.

The song "Movin' on Up" by M People contains the line: "Movin' on up, you're movin' on out." Unfortunately, I thought it was: "Boobies, no bum, yeah boobies no bum."

Rachel

In the clash song, "spanish bombs" whenever they said "spanish bombs" I thought they were saying "spanish bongs" and everytime they said "oh mi corazon" i thought they were saying " oh my go a thong" until i looked up the lyrics on the internet.

In the Eminem song 'Sing for the moment' I thought he was singing 'So I'm signing CD's whilst police finger Britney'. Well, it is Eminem!!! It wasn't until I asked my boyfriend why the police would be fingering Britney that I found it was '...whilst police fingerprint me'!

I have a vivid memory from age three. My memory of Paul McCartney singing "Band on the Run" is inextricably linked to seeing a rabbit run through my back yard. I thought Paul was saying "Ban" which is another word for rabbit, like bunny. Consequently, Paul was singing about the "Ban on the Run" that I was seeing in my lawn.

Little Bunny Foo-foo

I believed the lyrics to a Mac Davis song were"...your apartment is warm inside". The true lyrics were " your a hot blooded woman child..." At last that's what they TOLD me they were in college!
