music: misheard lyrics

In the song Am I Wrong by Brand New I thought they said:
"And my night forget a spoon"
But actually they said:
"With a knife, fork and a spoon"
It makes more sense, but I don't get why they say that...

in the song "sugar" by system of a down:
i thought "the kombusha mushroom people sitting around all day" was "sitting on razor blades", and a friend of mine thought "yeah they call it insane" was "in the coloring sea"

In the Song "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", I thought that they were saying "It took awhile to get me here
And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that goose s*** in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind"

But it was actually "don't fight that good s*** in your ear

In "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe I thought they said:
"And she's full of rice, no"
But they actually say:
"And a shoe full of rice, no..."

Also in "Savin' me" by Nickelback I thought they said:
"'Cause I am Bass and I own my soul"
But they actually say:
"These iron bars can't hold my soul in"

There is a song that goes "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a parking lot". When I heard it, I misheard it al "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a f***ing lot. I asked my dad how they could play such a vulgar song on the radio and in malls, unbleeped. He just looked at me funny. Now I know why!!

The first time my mate played me the slipknot song "people = shit" he didnt tell me the name of the song. Consequently when it came to the chorus i thought he was saying "people who eat horse shirts!"

I was listening to the New Found Glory song "Sonny" - it talks about a person who has died and I heard one line that said "pictures fade away, coz never means forever." This line really impacted me - I thought it was a really clever way of putting it, because when someone dies the thing that hurts the most is that you will never see them again, and that means for forever! I was very disappointed to learn that it was actually "pictures fade away, but memories forever..."

I used to think that the BeeGees song "staying alive" said "stay in the light"

Y'know that Alien Ant Farm song that came out a few years ago, called 'Smooth Criminal?' Well, I never learned what the chorus actually said, but I was not the only one who thought it sounded very much like 'Anna, are you OK, are you OK, are you OK Anna?'
Now as it happens, my name is Anna. + I soon got v. sick of people asking me if I was OK repeatedly.

When Mariah Carey's "Be Mine Again" came out, I was quite the confused one...

The real lyrics go...

"It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm accountable for what went bad... and I mean that..."

I heard something quite different that went like this...
..."It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm a cannible for what went bad... (She said I'm accountable very fast.)

My cousin (7) heard what I heard and asked me if she was a cannible, and for some reason, she thinks the songtress is scary... don't know where THAT came from... after hearing that misheard bit, she must've had nightmares of her chaising her around with a chainsaw.

There's this song by Avril Lavigne and i think it's called suddenly or how does it feel or something. The chorus was "How does it feel to be different from me, are we the same?" but i thought it went "How does it feel to be different from me, we weigh the same.

When ever I heard the song "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, I would sing along to it as "R-E-S-P-E-C-P" It was close, save for that last letter, but for the longest time I could not get the lyrics correct and everytime my mom and older sister would laugh at me for it.

My friend and I loved going to hockey games, They played Cotton Eye Joe a lot, and we loved that song so much. One time at a party we went up to sing it on kareoke and we were really shocked that it was "If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe" and not "Vaydodden veence a Cotton Eye Joe".

When I was little I thought Bob Dylan's song "Lay Lady Lay" was called "Lady Elaine" and that he was singing about "Lady Elaine Fairchilde", one of the puppets from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

I thought the lyrics "good girls don't cry" was "good girls don't die" i went around singing that everywheres until a friend called me crazy... whoops!

I have a friend who used to think the dixie land song from the 70's said "I wanna hear some fu@kin dixie land"
instead of "funkie dixie land" so he would sing it out loud when his mom was not around
