music: misheard lyrics

My friend used to think where it says, "making spirits bright," in jingle bells was:
"making pirates rise."

and about three seconds ago, she thought it was, "making spirts rise," and i thought it was, "making spirits high,"
very much to our surprise, we were BOTH wrong!! hahaha

when i first heard kelly clarksons miss independant i thought the chorus went

what happened to my cinnamin bun

but it really went
what happened to miss independant

when i was a kid, my grandma used to wash my hair for me and she used to sing "Today" to me. it so happened that the shampoo i was using then was "wella blassom", so for a long time, I thought my grandma was praising the shampoo since i mistook "Today, while the blossoms" as "today, wella blassom"

My sister and I have always loved to sing in the car - and in the early 80's when we used to sing along to the song "True" by Spandau Ballet (from 16 candles soundtrack), we thought it said

I no dis machis choo (in the chorus)
when it really says "I know this much is True"

In the early 90's my aunt Chris thought that the song by EMF entitled "Unbeleivable" really said -
You're ugly boy
where it says "You're unbelievable, OH!"
hahahaha

My name is Martin. When me and my brother heard Year 3000 by Busted, one of the members, James had sang "went out to the back yard to find out if it was one of those rowdy boys". My brother heard it as "went out to the back yard to find out if it was one of those Martin boys" and thought i was being referred to.

My parents used to listen to country music all of the time so I knew most songs that came onto the radio. I was convinced that the lyrics to David Lee Murphy's "Dust on the Bottle" said "don't let it fool ya, my wife's inside" instead of "don't let it fool ya, about what's inside"

There was a song in the charts about 10 years ago... I think it was by Fatboy Slim... The one that went 'everybody needs a bosom as a pillow, everybody needs a bosom' + then there's another bit that repeats several times... Well, I heard it as 'It's the real Sanjeev Bhaskar + he's 45'. Which I knew couldn't be right because I thought Sanjeev Bhaskar was younger than that. So I asked a friend of mine, she said it was 'my dad's a flasher + he's 45.

I still dont' know what it actually was.

Good Charlotte's song "Young and Hopeless"... I got made fun of MAJORLY for this one. I'm a die hard fan, and know every word of every song... but for some reason, for years now, I've always thought he was singing "Hot days make me hot, nights shade me". Makes sense, right? lol, the actual lyric is "Hard days made me, Hard nights shaped me", and when my friend told me THIS, I was even more confused... why would Joel sing about being "hard"? =( lmao. I didn't understand where the comma was supposed to go, so I thought it was "Hard days made me hard". Hmm.

i was probably 6 when i heard that song by rolling stones, taking care of buisness, i used to think they were saying taking care of bisquits. everytime my parents hear it now, theyre reminded of that.

In Celene Dions song, i think it was called 'think twice' i thought instead of
"it won't stop that sun & rain"
My little probably 8 or 9 year old brain heard
" it won't stop that sodding rain!"

In the song "I miss you" by Cascada, the first part was: "Remember the time in 1989, when I grew up to see the sign" the first time I heard It, I thought it was "Remember the time when I was 89, when I grew up to suicide" I was like o.o"

then the second time I heard it, I thought it was "Remember the time summer 69, When I grew up to see the light"

It wasn't until later when I saw the lyrics that changed my mind from "cascada died...:("

lol...

When I was little I loved the song "What kind of fool do you think I am?"These words are the chorus...My take on the song you ask?I sang it,What kind of food do you think I am?The sad part?I sang it this way until I was 11.

In the song "Honest workers" I thought it was ""Day by day Baba Yaga feels she's coming free..."
Real lyrics: "Day by day, hour by hour, feels he's coming free..."
Creepy. ;)

In the Christina Aguilera song "Candyman", a guy in the beginning sings, "Tarzan and Jane were swinging on a vine, sipping on a bottle of vodka double wine". It's rather hard to understand, so I always sang it as, "da da da day, swinging on the side. Sitting, lala, your mom's a double wide."

You know the song "move along" by the All-American Rejects?
Part of the chorus goes like this:
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along

Well, my son heard this song except he thought instead of singing "move along" they were singing "mow the lawn."

Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through

He didn't understand why anybody would write a song encouraging people to mow the lawn.

I used to think that in the song "Bad to the Bone'', that he would say:
on the day I was born
the nurses all gathered clowns
and gazed in white thunder
at the boy they had found
(here is where I could not understand the words and just sang jibberish)
tut tut butt butt
seleeze alee ohco
they could tell right away...
I still don't know what the guy was actually saying.
