misheard lyrics

The first time I heard Brian Setzer's song "Jump Jivin' ", I thought "What the hell's he doing singing about drunk driving?"

I use to think Milli Vanilli's song "blame it on the rain" was "baby on the range". (haha that's two embarassing things in one!)

i thought that the "bandaid" xmas song said
"fever..... whooaaaaaa"
instead of "feed the world"

azcaz

in santana 'smooth'..the real lyrics are...
"Well that’s the same emotion that I get from you"
and i thought it said...
"well thats same ocean i get f**k you"
gosh it took me forever to figure out why that allowed them to say that on the radio and not bleep it out

My friends mum was convinced that the lyrics to Justin Timberlake's song 'Cry me a River" went "the jammy kids done, so I guess I'll be leaving"...
original lyrics : "the damage is done so i guess i'll be leaving"

I'm probably not alone in this, but I thought it was "Ooh, baby, baby, it's a wide world." Didn't really give it a second thought until last year when I got the real song.

one of Journey's songs starts off "i shoulda been gone." when i was about 14 i heard it for the first time and i swore he said "shut up and go home." it was catchy i liked it

e.m.

I'm 21, and my whole life, I always thought George Michael was singing "Wake me up before you go go". Last week my best friend enlightened me to the fact that he's saying "go, girl". Now, every time I leave, or hang up the phone, she says in a retarded voice, "Wait! Don't go go!" lmao.

I used to think the lyrics to "Too Legit To Quit" were "Do the flip, do the tootsie flip"

cassie

i believed that michelle gayle's sweetness song contained the lyrics shade in sheep shit!

When I was a kid, I thought that the line in the song, "You're the One That I Want," from Grease went as follows:

"You're the one that I want, John Travolta, woo, hoo, hoo..."

Uncle Hulka

In the The Academy Is... song, Neighbors, I thought the line was "Sit back and get my paddy wacked."
It's really "sit back and get my palette wet."

SANTI! tai LJer. =]

This was really my friend's, and I was at her house, and she's singing along really loud in her room. I'm like, "Ashley, that came with words."

Champagne tippin' over in the sky

It took me ages to convince her that the real lyrics are ...Champagne Supernova in the sky

You know the song- By the Light of the Silvery Moon?
When I was little I thought the words were:
By the light,
Of the celery moon
I like to spoon
with my honey and prune love stew!

I thought in Jay-Z's song Renegade, he says 'Say that I'm foolish, I only talk about Jews'. As it turns out, the line is 'I only talk about jewels'. I wondered for a while while Jay-Z had an obession with Jewish people.

Last night, I went with my family to see the play "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." One of the songs by Joseph's brothers, called "Canaan Days", was sung with a very silly, over-done fake French accent. They were singing "Lift your berets", and it was being pronounced sort of like "BELL-ayz." I heard this as "Lift up your bellies," which made no sense. I had this weird mental image of these guys laying on their backs and presenting their bare stomachs to the king.

The next one is from the same show. The song is "Go, go, go Joseph." The Narrator is introducing the butler, and she says, "He was the Jeeves of his time." I heard this as "He was the CHEESE of his time." I spent most of intermission puzzling over this line and trying to figure out what the butler had to do with a chunk of cheese.

(I shared both of these with my mom. She was quite entertained.)

Taylor (methinks I need hearing aids)

i used to think the words to footloose (as i didnt actually know the title of the song and was about 8 years old) were nuttergutter cut loose for luce, kick up a sunday shoes, please, louise cut me up on my knees, jack,get back,come on before we crack, luce, for luce, everybody clap for luce..

There's this commercial for the Drug-Free America campaign, where this cowboy is in the middle of the street playing a guitar and singing, but he's had a tracheotomy so he was using that little box that gives you a robot voice. Anyway, he's singing stuff like "you don't always die from tobacco, sometmes you just lose a lung" and then at the end he says "yippie yi yo ki-yay". I always thought he was actually saying, "Happy Holidays!"
I never really thought about the fact that it was April, and no holidays were taking place...

Kat

I used to believe that the lyrics to "My eyes adored you" were really "Liza Georgia, though I never laid a hand on you Liza Georgia" and that the song "Forever in Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond was really "Reverend Blue Jeans" and wanted to go to his church!

Litiotti

My Grandmother use to think the song more then a woman to me use to say Bald headed Woman
