when my brother was little, he used to watch the old fashioned peter pan that was basically recorded on a sound stage. there was a song that the pirates sang, and he always believed the lyrics were as follows:

"a yo ho ho a went to show
to mere the steak
so-
it's dangerous to eat"

and he would sing this over and over and over with a fake hook on his hand pretending he was captain hook. i can't believe i still remember the song.

Okay up until like, 4 minutes ago, I thought the theme song to Full House went: "the milkman, the paper boy, even MTV." But apparently it really goes "the milkman, the paperboy, evenin' TV. Oopsie. my bad!

— MTV Junkie

When I was Younger((ok, not that long ago! I'm 13)), In the song "Dude looks like a Lady" i thought instead of "Dude looks like a Lady" It was "Doin' it like a lady." Last year I found out from my friend how stupid I was!

Not my belief, but my sisters.
In the Bon Jovi song, when he sings, "Shot by the heart and you're to blame, you gave love a bad name."
She thought he sang, "Shot by the heart, and you're too lame, you gave love a bad name."
What a dummy!

In alien ant farms cover of smooth criminal, i use to think it went like "you could see she... was a nebo, then you ran into the bathroom, you were flushed down, your toilet."

instead of:
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

PS whats a nebo?

The song Blue (Da Be Dee) song by Eiffel 65 they actually sing "I'm blue da ba dee da ba dai" or something... I actually first thought they sang, "I'm blue I'm a deed, I'm a diet"

I always thought that in Billy Joel's "River of Dreams" ( In the middle of the night(middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep(i go walking in my sleep)
From the mountains of faith(moutains of faith)
To the river so deep)(river so deep)
That the line "to the river so deep" was actually "to the dinosaur feet"

— Glowworm

When I was around six, I thought that the opening lyrics to the song Will You Be There by Michael Jackson, which are "hold me like the river Jordon", were "hold me like a pickalick joe-me". I dont' have any idea how I got that, but I remember singing it too all of my parent's friends and wondering why they were laughing.

My brother used to like singing Britney Spear's song 'Hit Me Baby', and he was once singing it and said Hit my baby one more time because thats how he thought the lyrics went! I cracked up laughing after that!

— Jess

Oh used to think that song that went 'paved paradise, put up a parking lot', went 'crave paradise, to put up with f*ck in life'. I was apalled when I heard my mom singing it in the car.

Also, that Justin Timberlake songs (cry me a river) that goes 'The damage is done so I guess I'll be leaving', I thought it was, 'The jammy jee jones so I guess I'll be leaving'. Dunno where I got that from.

— Toto

My cheerleading music mix had a bunch of different songs and one of them was "You make a grown man cry" but all year i thought it was "you make a grown man proud" ... i was singing it one day and my coach and everyone laughed at me they thought it was really funny though and when we won we got "you make a grown man proud" put on our hoodies :)

I used to think these were the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland":

In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is charlie brown.
He'll say are you Mary we'll say no man,
but you can do the job when youre in town.

I used to picture Charlie brown dressed up like Mary in little house on the prarie. Hahah.

— A Nieve Noelle

I thought that in the Destiny's child song girl went; "In your face, I can see the pain dont try to convince us that your NAPPING" I later found out it was "HAPPY"

I've got two songs that I misheard the lyrics to. One is Anthrax's "Belly of the Beast". When the singer sings "You shovel your conscience into the grave", I believed for the longest time that he was singing "You show your prostitute to the grave". (??)
The other one is Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".
Real lyrics:"Dance like marionettes, swing to the Symphony of Destruction."
Misheard Lyrics: "Dance like a million ants, sing to the symphony of destruction." [:) I was weird.

my brother used to always think Somebodys watching me was... 'im on a speed boat, somebodys watching me' instead of 'i always feel like somebodys watching me'
