My friend Connie thought that the Will Smith song "Gettin Jiggie With It" said "Kick a Chicken With It".

Just last year me and a couple of my friends were sitting in the car when the country song 'She's My Kind of Rain' by Tim McGraw came on. I began to sing "She's my Cadillac!" instead of "She's my kind of rain". My friends let me sing the whole song like that before pointing out that i was singing it ALL wrong.
I could actually picture a cadillac on a showroom floor with confetti falling down on it! :p

In the Lion King, I used to think that Simba was saying "We don't eat some rice or little corn filled core of star" instead of "We don't need advice from little hornbills for a start", and I always thought that stars had corn inside them until I looked up the lyrics

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!)

"Well that’s the same emotion that I get from you"

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"

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

— Megan

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!
