misheard lyrics

In the song "all star" by smashmouth, theres a line which says "she was looking kinda dumb wth her finger and her thumb" till today i thought it was "she was looking kinda dumb with her finger IN her thumb"

I had been listening to the song "AFRICA" by Toto since I was about 9. well for some reason I could never get what he was saying in the chorus. I asked around and people said he was saying "I guess it rains down in Africa!" It didn't make a whole lot of sense either. like why wouldn't it rain there? I started singing that but it still didn't sound right. And it didn't make sense eith I finally found out it was "I BLESS the rains down in Africa!" when I was 22!

The band Garbage' Song: Only happy when it rains when Shirley Manson sings the part ' I didn't accidentally tell you that '

I always seem to hear ' To get the message to you behind your back'

I was 17 when I first heard this song now I'm 26
Still hear that part of the song as my version :-)

When I was little I loved the song Love roller coaster by the Ohio players. I used to think when he says "a crazy ride now" was "eggs and rhyme now". I got the image of scrambled eggs whenever that part came on.

I used to think the song Row Your Boat was either about my mother or written for her. Her name is Merlie and I always thought the chorus was Merlie, Merlie, Merlie, Merlie Life is but a Dream

When I was young, I though the David Bowie song "Suffragette CIty" went, "Awww, wham, bam, bacon ham!" My mom never tried to correct me.

Heather

Herman's Hermits used to sing - she's a must to avoid. I thought it was - she's a muscular boy

Jan

I used to think that the chorus to "What's New Pussycat" by Tom Jones went "What you looking at, Whoh,whoh,wa-whoooooh...oooo"

Here's a few:

"I'm a Danish, I'm a Danish" as opposed to " Amadeus, Amadeus"...

Kim Wilde:

"pack of crisps in America" as opposed to "we're the kids of America"

Hot Chocolate:

"I believe it milk oils" as opposed to "I believe in miracles"

Browner von Wight

That in the song Rhinestone Cowboy that he was gettin': "cabbage & lettuce from people I don't even know". I never even thought it was odd that people were sending vegetables to a cowboy.

Sid

I used to think that an aerosmith song said "Who farted? WHO? Who?"

Seth

I USED TO THINK THE CLASH WERE SINGING, "YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT, YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT....MADAGASCAR, MADAGASCAR!!!"
LATER I LEARNED THEY WERE SINGING, "ROCKIN THE KASBA"...HMMM...

I was listening to System of a Down's "sugar" on my CD player one day, and my 4 year old cousin started singing along. He completely messed up the lyrics. The first line of the song is "The kombucha muchroom people" and he sang "The paloocha mocha people". I laughed so hard i nearly cried.

Psychoman

I thought that the lyrics for 'Tequila' by Terrorvision were actually 'I want to kill her, it makes me happy..' and I preferred the song when I thought that! I was in my twenties though, so does this count?

LadyAnnie

When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"

Kristen

I still have no idea what the lyrics are... or even what the songs called but I still swear she's sings "You remember me? I'm the one who ate your baby's eye"

R

You know that TV show "Family Guy"? You know the theme song? I always thought the part where stewie say "all the things that make us laugh and cry" was actually "all th e things that make us effing cry"!

Ashls

I thought Queen's song 'Bohemium Rhapsody' went: I see a little cigarette on a man.

Clare, Ireland

I used to sing aloud to to R.E.M.'s song Chorus and the Ring with with the line "that's when the insoles start to stink" - believing that's what it really was. Turns out on a lyrics site it is really "that's when the insults start to sting." At least the insoles don't stink!

I used to think the lyrics to Little Miss can't be wrong by the Spin Doctors was Little Bitch, Little Bitch, Little Bitch can't be wrong. Hey, it still makes sense.
