music: misheard lyrics

my name is Angie, and I therefore really liked the song Angie by the Rolling Stones. when the song first came out I was around 10 years old. I used to believe the line that says "ain't no woman ever gonna come close to you..." meant that no woman was ever going to get physically close to her!

well a year or so ago christina aguilera brought out a song called fighter i knew that was the title but it really sounds like she says"thanks for making me wider" instead of thanks for making me a fighter-it just sounds too convincing.....

I thought the song, "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dog said, "Drop it like a saw, drop it like a saw..." as opposed to drop it like it's hot. I was convinced he liked to kill people by dropping flaming saws on them. I'm not sure why.

You know that song "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"? Well, I always thought the line, "Marconi plays the mamba," was "My pony plays the mamba." I like it better my way.

I believed until recently that Queen's "we will rock you" when they say " waving your banner all over the place", that they actually sang "Blood and mud's all over the place"

Sophie B. Hawkins song "As I lay Me down" I hear the background singers singing - "you're an asswhole"... I still swear that is what they are singing! Set me straight..

I was a big fan of KISS when I was young but I couldn't figure out why they had a thing against the police. In the song "God Of Thunder" the line is 'I gather darkness to please me', but I heard 'I gather darkness and police meat.'

In the Spice Girls song, "Merry Christmas," where it says, "but I think I'll skip this one this year," I thought it said, "But I think you'll touch my buns this year!" I knew what than meant, too. God, I was a perverted kid...

To Sammi, I also used to get the lyrics to 'Hey Dude' wrong. I used to think it said
"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I pee like a man".

It actually says

"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I feel like a man"

Made more sense my way.

When I was about 7 or 8 I strongly believed that in Michael Jackson's “Beat It” when he says "Showin' how funky strong is your fight" that he was saying "fuck-y". I knew it was a bad word and was shocked that he would say such a thing. Well in second grade we had an assembly with a dance set to that song. I vehemently insisted to my friends that he was saying “fuck-y”. They promptly turned me into the teacher for swearing. Fearing repercussion from the teacher or my parents, I ran out of the room crying and was so embarrassed that I couldn't look anyone in the eye for the rest of the day.

In Orinoco Flow, Enya clearly sings "Save the Whale, Save the Whale, Save the Whale" despite the official lyrics claiming it's "Sail Away...".

Good day mates, I'm referring to the Aussie band Crowded House's biggest single; "Don't Dream Its Over". Their chorus goes like this:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

But as I child, I thought the chorus read like this:
Paper, paper
I'm three years old, heh
Paper, paper
When the word comes in
Acorn, acorn
It's a world between us
You'll know they won't win

I used to always think as a kid that the song "Blue Bayou" was really "Blue By You" and when that song came on the radio I would always try to find something blue near me.

When I was about 8yrs. old, everytime I heard the Steve Miller band song "Big Ole Jet Airliner", I thought they were saying "Didn't go to jail at a line up".
I found out what the right words were one day when I heard the DJ say the name of the song.

when I was eight, i used to think the song "Venus", by Bananarama, said:

"Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summer of pity and love
Her penis was so lame...
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your penis, I'm your fire at your desire"

I was like WTF??, I thought It was a song about a girl with a penis!! you know, since it says "she's got it, yeah baby, she's got it"
LOL

I used to think the song from the 90's, 'Move It', was about vaccuming. To me, it sounds like 'I like to vroom it vroom it', because I thought that vroom sounded like a vaccuming. This is really embarrasing, since I liked that song, and probably sang it out loud a lot.
