music: misheard lyrics

I used to think that in the ashlee simpson song Boyfriend, they were saying " i dance to your boyfriend" when actually she was saying " i didn't steal your boyfriend" i wondered for ages.. why she would dance TO someones boyfriend

in the song "Saw What You Want" by Texas, the line reads "I took the tables away from you." but i always always thought that the words were "i took my tampons, away from youuu"

In 'Winter Wonderland', I thought it was 'later on, we'll PERSPIRE...', instead of the real version. Mine still makes sense, because the fire was propably really hot.

I used to believe, for an embarrassingly long time, that Eric Clapton was singing about a girl who didn't like Washington state. After all, in his own words:

"She don't like, she don't like, she don't like
Spokane!"

Now of course, I now know he's actually singing about drugs, but I think my version is far funnier. ;)

The real lyrics to the Creed song:

"I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet is so far down"

What I heard:

"I'm six feet from the edge and I kick ass. Maybe six feet is so far down"

I used to be the BIGGEST Rick Springfield fan ever...and used to play his music over and over and over! One day, a little 5-year old who lived next door to me was singing outside while he was playing...the song sounded a lot like something I knew so I stopped to listen...Sure enough it was a Rick Springfield song "What Kind of Fool Am I?"...but my little guy? He was singing along quite lustily, but the words HE was singing was "What Kind of Food You Like?" I laughed for quite awhile after that...and it still makes me smile even to this day whenever I hear that song! : )

I thought that, in Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes" where she goes, "You won't get to see the tears I cry" that she was saying "Dude, why can't you see the tears I cry?"
Now keep in mind that I also thought that in "Dip It Low" by Christina Milian, that when she said "I'mma show you how to make your man say...OH!" That she said, "I'mma show you how to make it medicine...OH!"
I needed my ears cleaned. x]

Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit

My friend thought that instead of
"here we are now, entertain us"
that it was, "here we are now, eat potatoes"!

i guess it is pretty hard to understand Curt. Wierd Al makes fun of the song and not being able to understand what hes saying, so watch it if you haven't already.

I used to believe part of the lyrics to Fall Out Boy's "Centuries" went:
"You look so pretty, but your gun's so soon."
When, really, it's
"You look so pretty, but YOU'RE GONE so soon."

I always believed that Kenny Rogers' 'Lucille' went

"you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a box of oatmeal..."

I hated oatmeal and could understand why the children were hungry!

'til very recently i thought the lyrics to the song 'everyday i write the book' were actually 'everyday i rock the boat', and that the part in madonnas like a prayer that says 'let the choir sing' was 'laugh out quietly'. doesnt make much sense but many songs dont!

i used to think that "big old jet airliner" song said "big ole ted & eliza". my best friend molly's parents were named ted and eliza so we thought it was so cool that there was a song about them.

You know that song from the 80's, I can't remember what is was called, but the chorus sang "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you". Well I swore, being 7 years old, that he was singing, "Everyttime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you". I just didn't understand what it had to do with meat!

I always thought that, in that song in Flashdance that goes "Take your passion and make it happen, the lryics went "Take your pants down and make it happen." I got this from my uncle, who used to sing it jokingly, though I didn't know that at the time, when I was very little. I thought this until I was around 13.

When I was very young my brother and I used to believe the song by Linda Ronstadt "It's so easy to fall in love" went: "It's so wee-wee to fall in love". We called it the "wee-wee" song and loved singing along with it as loudly as possible whenever it was on the radio. I think Mum and Dad must've thought it was pretty funny because they never corrected us.

my best friend used to be under the impession that bon jovi's living on a prayer was living on a prairie. god know why but she sang it that way until she was 18. the only way we could convince her was to show her the words. strangly enough thats the way we all sing it now. wooooah oooooh were half way there ooooh oooooh livin on a prairie

My daughter cracked me up one day as we were singing along to Prodigy Smack my Bitch Up. She seriously thought they were singing Smack the Bishop!!! She was about 16 at the time and she still sings it that way, she got me started too. So now i can't sing it the way it should be

"My Sharona' was 'Mice Aroma'
"Where you from, you sexy thing" was "Wave a bra, you sexy thing"
"I've got chills, they're multiplying" was "I've got shoes, they're made of plywood"
and last but not least, "Who loves who the most" was "Hula, hula mo"
