music: misheard lyrics

I thought the Pixies song Gigantic was about the Abominable Snowman. I thought she sang "He piled and piled and piled lips and funk" instead of Hey Paul, lets have a ball.....but I still think of that monster whenever I hear that song.

There's this church group called EFY that I listened to a lot. One of their songs is called 'We Believe.' One verse of it, in the chorus, is 'We believe in obedience ringing the bell of the free..." For several years, I thought it was 'We believe in the beady ants ringing the bell of the free', and I sang it like that every time. Finally one day I had a breakthrough.

I was just in a clothing store yesterday and they were playing music. I don't remember what songs were being played, but I misheard the lyrics and it took me a while to find out what they were really singing.

The first one had the lyrics "Always by my side". I misheard it as "Olives by my side"

The second song had the lyrics "Gonna blow your mind" but I misheard it as, "Donut girl, you're mine"

when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D

AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds (Done Dirty Cheap)" -- I always thought it was "Dirty Ds and the Thunder Chief".

Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" -- for some reason I thought Bob was singing, "The ants, my friend, the ants are blowing in the wind". Hmm..

There was a version of the song "Sing" that echoed the English lyrics with Spanish. I used to sing, much to the enjoyment of my Spanish-speaking friends, "Sing- Canta. Sing a song- Canta oompa sanchone!"

For years I thought that the chorus to the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams" was "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Venus" -not Sweet Dreams are made of this

The the song The Great Escape I got the lyrics very wrong. It goes Paper bags & plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye,
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
& make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

How ever I though it went
Paper bags and plastic hearts
Everybody in shopping carts
Goodbye
But we fight
Lets get drunk and drive around
and make peace with a empty clown
we can make it right
Throw it away foget yesterday
we'll make the great escape
we wont hear a word they say
they dont know us anyway
watch a bird
let it die
we are finally free tonight.

I think i like my lyrics better, at least the part about the bird...

Come on, let's play Monopoly, cash fun and renting property... That is really cash fun and RITZY property!

I used to think the van halen song was "cannonball" later to be found out by EVERYBODY that it was "panama" how embarrassing...

In the Green Day song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" there's a line that goes:
"My shadow's the only one who walks beside me"
I thought it was:
"No child's the only one who walks beside me"
I could not quite figure this one out. I thought it might mean that the only one who walked beside him was an adult...or maybe not...i was very confused until i found out the correct lyrics.

"Sunglasses at Night" - real lyrics:

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
oh no

I just looked up the lyrics when I realized that my idea was probably wrong. I heard:

Don't masturbate with the guy in shades
oh no

I used to believe…

born to be wild lyrics to me from about 5 years old where...

get your motor running
granny on the highway
loking for adventure
in whatever comes her way

oh the embarressment when my boyfriends mates found out

I used to believe that Leona Lewis' song "Angel" was about a ninja, because of how she pronounced the word.

when i was 9 i misheard one of the boom boom dollar lyrics more time as moan time (like as having sex)

I had a friend who thought the Cold Chisel song "cheap wine" went like this - cheap wine and a female goat.
