I used to love the song "Hitchin a ride" but I always sang it "ride ride ride, hey Generide" where Generide was a girls name, and they were just saying hey to her

— Molly

When I was young, easy-listening music was my favorite. When I first heard Louis Armstrong's "Blueberry Hill," I thought that he said "I found my drill on Blueberry hill..." and it turns out "I found my thrill..."

I used to believe that on Ace of Base's All that She Wants she was saying Ohh Matchy Box, I could never figure out why she was singing about what I thought to be match boxes.

you know that song called "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Go's, I always thought it said 'I'm a succeeder'And succeeder isn't even a word!!!

— Hey-I'm-Oly-11

Whenever I sang to TLC's "Waterfalls" I sang the lyrics differently, I sing it like "don't go jason waterfalls lipstick to the---" my family always laughed at me untill I got the picture.

when i was little i used to think that the song by the nolan sisters, 'I'm in the mood for dancing' was really 'i'm in the nude for dancing'

and cliff richards song 'we dont talk anymore was 'Disco dolly,howie dont talk anymore' must get my ears sorted out. lol

— Phil McCoy, Ireland

A while ago I was listening to the song by Lulu, 'I'm a tiger' but I honestly thought it sounded as if she was singing 'I'm a tiny girl, I'm a tiny girl'

— Phil, Ireland

i was somehow under the (mistaken) impression that the chorus of EMF's "Unbelievable" was saying "your ugly balls"

— spamala

In that "Jumping, Jumping" song from "Destiny's Child" I thought the chorus was "The club is for the ballers and the c**k is full grown" I'm like... did I hear that right? WTF?

— Aeris

I used to believe…

That song Rock the Kazbar, I always thought they were saying "rock the cash bar" then I thought I was wrong and thought it was "rock the dance floor"

I used to think the lyrics for the song "You Sexy Thing" "I believe in Miracles" was actually "I believe in milk cows"

— Peter C

"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who was misheard as "won't get food again". Imagine the embarrasment of singing this song out loud to friends who are big The Who fans.

— Deaf, Messed-up Child

OK, So in the song by Aaliyah called "Try again" the chorus goes "(and) If at first you dont succeed, Pick yourself up and try again..."
And I heard " Freshy dawn Sa See, pick yourself up and try again..." And I didnt know how freshy dawn sa see, which made absolutely no sense, had anything to do with picking yourself up and trying again. But, hey, I was young at the time...

— Ally

For the "Family Guy" theme song there's several mistakes i made until i looked it up online-

where it says "lucky there's a family guy" i thought it said "puffy is a family guy"

and where it says "all the things that make us laugh and cry" i thought it was "all the things that make us effin' cry"

— Gina

I used to believe…

the carpenters sing sing a song my words were always sink sink a sonk so i certainly put them in there place still love to listen to it though

— jeanie

Well Actually this is my little niece's belief... when she was 3 and heard Anastasia's Iv'e payed my dues...she sang... I payed my juice!!!

— Fairy

When my cousin was younger, she was convinced that that song from Hot Chocolate, instead of "I believe in miracles" was "I believe in Malcolm! (where you from, you sexy thing)

My mum still often sings along to those words when the song comes on !

— sally

In the song "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold, I used to think the lyrics were "caught here in a foreign place" instead of "caught here in a fiery blaze"

Aaah it was so adorable, when my sister was little she used to sing Baa Baa black sheep (or even rainbow sheep f*ck u P.C)
Anyway she used to sing 'and one for the little boy who lives down the Draaaaaayn!'

— Little Girl who lives down the draaaaaaaaaayn

I used to believe in the pink floyd song another brick in the wall, instead of them saying "all in all your just another brick in the wall" they were saying "all in all you just a fellow breakin the law"
