I totally love The All-American Rejects, which is why I was a little heartbroken when I heard their song "Straightjacket feeling" for the first time, because instead of hearing their line of "Beg me time and time again" I heard "Bang me time and time again". I defy anyone to listen to that song and not hear "Bang". lol

Cute Is What We Aim For song Curse Of Curves.

"we all have defects from vitamin D "
and when they sing it later in the song
"we all have defects from vitamin E "

The real words are " We all have teeth that can bite underneath " Listen to it. It sounds exactly like my version lol.

One of my friends in (a trade school here in Detroit, MI) Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts thought the lyrics to the George Harrison song "I Got My Mind Set On You" were "Look out! I might Sit on YOU!" ahahaha....I actually used that on the air once.

I thought the lyrics to Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" was "to me you're like a roman dictionary and I..." when I think now it's actually, "to me you're like a grown addiction that I can't deny."

"I'm blue, I'm a bee on a slide..."

Can anyone guess what song that is? Personally I think it makes more sense that the real lyrics!

Also..."I'm a burger and I'm sitting on a piece of cod..." (A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold)

IT MAKES SENSE!!!

Ok, I was in the car the other day and had UB40 on the stereo, when the song Ivory Madonna came on, my boyfriend started singing "I'm a pre-madonna!" for all these years he has thought that those were the words! LOL

Me and my cousin used to think the lyrics to the song 'Blue' by Eiffel 65 were: "I mooed at the heat of the night."

Good times, good times.

In the song "My Love" after Justin says "my love..." TI says "So thug, everyday" in the background. I thought he said "Sofa giveaway".

Wrong lyrics to a song, "Faith" by "George Michael.

I heard:

Oooooh, you gotta half-faint.....you gotta half-faint a faint a faint.


(Oooooh, you gotta have faith, ... you gotta have faith a faith a faith.)...

Growing up, we used to go to the local waterpark on the weekends. They used to play a lot of the songs from the Beach Boys. My fathers name is Bob Brown, and I used to thing their song "Barbra Ann" was actually being sung "Bob Bob Bob, Bob Bob Brown" and that the Beach Boys had written the song about my dad and dedicated it to him. My father knew I thought this and did not tell me until i figured it out when I was 10. He had been laughing at me about it for about 6 years.

in the song Im Blue I used to think the lyrics were, "im blue, i believe i would die, i believe i would die, i believe i would die..."

i thought, "those are odd lyrics."

Knights in White Satin - what a beautiful song! I imagined many knights and their ladies, all dressed in white satin, of course, dancing to its tune. When I learned the song was called Nights in White Satin, though, the lyrics made a lot more sense to me.

I used to think that the Hawk Nelson song Things We Go Through when it says "He's got no sense of direction" it said "He's got a nuisance erection."

in bohemian rhapsody, there's a lyric

"Be-elzebub, has a devil put aside for me"

In my defense, it does sound quite a lot like

"Beelzebub, has a devil of a sideboard whee!"

I used to think that the Tori Amos song "Professional Widow" with the lyrics "Come close to my lips, it's gotta be big" was "Come close to my lips, salivate"

My sister and I can't be serious about song lyrics and our latest..."Slip me the beef boys and free my soul, come on and get lost in my little whole and drift away"

I've heard it that way so many time I can't hear it right anymore. Demented....umm...I'd say its a possiblity

This is really dumb, but you know the AC/DC song 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' or whatever it was? Well I thought for about 5 years that it was 'Dirty deeds and the done for cheese' I was messed up. ;)

Until I was about 10, I was convinced that the song "Auld Lang Syne" was about doing things "for the sake of Old Man's Eye".

when i was little, i liked elton john a lot. but up until age 11 i always thought he was singing "hold me close now, tony danza." instead of "hold me closer, tiny dancer."

As a big Culture Club fan, I often get lyrics mixed up.
Take for example Miss Me Blind:
Bet you got a good gun
Bet you know how to have some fun and then
You turn it around on me because
I'm better than the rest of the men

I heard it as:
Bet you got a good bun
Bet you know how to have some fun in bed...

I figured that it was just another song about Jon Moss and his buns.
