music: misheard lyrics

Reading through the misheard lyrics page, I just found out the correct lyrics for something I've misheard for years!

Every time I heard the Pearl Jam song "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun," I swear I heard "Hot, Fly Virgins and a Belly Gun."

It drove me nuts when that song came on because I could not understand what the hell Eddie was talking about! I was sure it was Pelicans or Femme-bots

I used to think that Metallica's "exit night, enter light" was "Amstel Light, Amstel Light, walk in never never land" I thought it was a song about getting tanked and having good times!

i used to think that the lyrics for lady marmalade were: coochy coochy ya ya, moca cocca ya ya. free your lady mama now. moolan voodo say what at my house.
i dint realize i had it wrong till on the bus i was singing with my headphones on and my friend BUSTED out laughing

Similarly to another post here, I thought the lyrics to Madonna's 'Erotic' were 'hey Ronnie, hey Ronnie, put your hands all over my body'. I didn't realise until a couple of years ago what they actually were (I'm 17 now).

my brother used to think that Manfred man sung "ha ha Santa Claus" instead of "ha ha said the clown"
quite rude to laugh at Santa, I thought he would find nothing in his stocking ...

I always thought Celine Dion, in"It's All Coming Back to Me Now," sang..."It was more than all your lousy love." Now I realize she sings, "It was more than all your laws allow." I thought she was just rude !!!

when i heard "livin lavida loca" i thought that it was "living to be thy loco" I found out that that wasn't what it was when i was in the car and my sister asked if i wanted to "live to be her loca" i said no

I used to believe…

for the longest time i thought that the song "lady in red" was "baby and bread".....i was embarrassed when i was singing it and my mother told me the real words! she still teases me about it.

A friend of mine was singing the song by Gabrielle from the Bridget Jones film, except she was merrily singing away 'Valerieeeee' instead of 'Out of reach', i don't know if she thought that was what Bridget liked to be called at the weekend.

my nan used to think that Elton John's song which goes "Cold cold hearts..." went "Coco hearts.." and she thought that "coco" was some Native American lover of his!!

My dad is a huge AC/DC fan, so I grew up listening to them...a lot. Now, Dirty Deeds is one his all time favorite songs, and I used to think that they said, "Dirty jeans and a thunder jeep," instead of, "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap." And I can still listen to that song and hear my version of it. Try it sometime. It's funny.

I always thought that the words to the song yellow taxi were "they paved paradise, and put up a fucking lot" I was really puzzled when I heard this on the radio and it wasn't censored, until I realized the actually words

My boyfriend when he was little used to like queen and there was one song they did that went something like "be already,be already" (thats what i thought it was when i was little)or something like that but he used sing "Pee on eric,Pee on eric" He still sings it now!

I used to believe…

remember that song "tubthumper" by chumbawamba? well, i used to think that they were saying "i get no doubt, but i can over-get it". turns out that they were actually saying "i get knocked down, but i get up again". i felt like a complete idiot when i found the correct lyrics online a few years ago! how i came up with "over-get", i'll never know :D

i cant remember the name of the song but the actual lyrics are 'and watch the sun come up on the santa monica boulevard' (i think) and for years i thought it was 'and watch the sun come up in santa clauses couple of bars'

I was horrified when i had my son mumbling along to Skater Boi, in stead of 'he was a skater boi, she said see ya later boi' he was singin 'he was a raper boi, she said rape ya later boi' how embarresed i must have been! Where did a 4 yr old get that from???
