Heres our versions of some Bee Gees songs

we sang 'Its alright, its okay, you make love the other way'

But my friend had us laughing when she misheard the lyrics to the spice girls '2 become 1' the bit that goes 'I had a little love, now I'm back for more' she sings ' I had a little dove, now he's splattered on the floor' mad or what?

— John, Bolton

The first time I heard Jammin, by Marley, I was in a very fast car with the windows down. And I since I didn't know the name of the song, I thought that he was saying Vagina, when in fact he was saying Jammin'.

i've been friends with my friend since we were both in diapers. her mom would always listen to music in the car. there was this one song, i dunno who its by, but it goes "goin to the chapel and we're gonna get married". for the longest time, i thought the lyrics went "goin to the checkbook and we're gonna get buried". it wasnt until i went to a wedding reception when i was 13 that my cousin corrected me.

— Buried with the checkbook..

When I was little my sister was singing the Macy Gray song that goes "I try to say goodbye an i choke, i try to walk away and i stumble". But only since a year ago i had always sung,"I try to walk away and i flamboke!!!" Dont ask me why!?!?!

There's a line in 'White Room' by Eric Clapton which says 'Platform ticket'. I always thought it was 'Kurt Von D**khead'. Thought it was an anti Nazi statement or something like that.

I used to think that the lyrics for AC/DC's "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" were "Dirty deeds in the Dunder Jeep." I thought the "dunder jeep" was a cross between a jeep and a dune buggy, and pictured these people driving around in it committing crimes. I don't think I realized the proper lyrics until I was almost 20.

When my daughter heard the 70's hit, "Drift Away", she thought they were saying, "Give me the Beach Boys & free my soul..." instead of "Give me the Beat Boys"!

Me and my friends were making fun of the song "Collide". and instead of singing "When you and I... Collide" we would sing, "When you and I... and Clyde" Well, my one friend sang it that way when she was listening to it on the radio with her mom, and now her mom thinks that's how it goes, so now her mom sings about clyde all the time!
