For a long time, I thought the lyric
"Blowing thru the jasmine in my mind" from _Summer Breeze_ by Seals and Crofts was "Blowing through the <strong>jazz mounds</strong> in my mind." I always would wonder what the heck a "jazz mound" was.
I used to believe…
prince had a red cherry parade, jesus was the lord of the dance setee at some happy
clappy christian house party and pearl jam had a glorified virgin on a pelican. nice.
When I was growing up, my best friend was notorious for mixing up song lyrics. Her "alternate renditions" still crack me up! She believed that Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was Hit Me With Your Pants Down"! Pretty racey for a 9 year old... She also thought Barry Manilow's song, "Looks Like We Made It", was "Looks Like Tomatoes".
When I was young, I thought that the line "Under the pale moon light" from the song "Somewhere out there" (The rescuers) was "Under the pebble light"... Still sing it to this day!
Until recently I was convinced Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" opened with "wood was on fire", when it's actually "world was on fire". Sounds better anyway, more dramatic!

We used to sing Gordon Lightfoot's "Alberta Bound" as "I'll burn the barn."
Being a huge Michael Jackson fan when I was younger I used to moonwalk around the living room to Billie Jean. I always thought the lyric in the second verse a bit odd - "But who can stand when she's in demand, Hurt squeeze every lens". Of course it's "Her schemes and plans" but I think I preferred it when Billie obviously had a problem with her contacts.
My friend and I like the music of Elvis very much. But as non-English speakers, we misheard some of the lyrics when we first heard the songs. For example we thought that Elvis sung 'You're the devil in the skies' (Devil in disguise) and 'Come on, sugar' (I'm all shook up). Now we fortunately know the REAL titles...
I heard this one song on the radio, and the lyric went "My lovers got no money, he's got his strong beliefs" and I thought it said "My lovers got pnumonia he's got his trumbaleese" How weird does it get?
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY-QUEEN... Till a year or so ago i was convinced the line "spare him his life for his MONSTROSETIES" was "spare him his life for his...PORK SAUSAGE TEA!" i always wondered what they meant!!!!!!!!!!!!
Years ago, my little sister was heard in her room, singing: "I knew our love was just a passing phrase" to Ant and Dec's Eternal Love.
It's obviously 'phase' not 'phrase', and we're NEVER going to let her live it down! What a corker!

In Van Halen's song "Jump", the line is "I ain't the worst that you've seen." I thought it was, "I eat the words that you sing."

I can't be the only one who thought that Andy Fairweather Low (think it was him!) was singing My Diamond Necklace instead of Wide Eyed and Legless.....
Reading a misheard lyric from "You're The One That I Want" on this site, I was reminded of how I misheard the song when I first saw the clip from "Grease" aged 6.
I thought it was called "You're The Wuther The Wuh" ("You are the wuh-the-wuh, ooh-ooh-ooh, honey" etc).
The song "Blue" by Eiffel 65. Listen really close...are you sure instead of "I'm blue, da ba dee da ba di", it's not "I'm nude, I'm in need of a guy"???? Listen.....

A popular song sometime in the 70s was
Looks Like We Made It (had that line in
it anyway)..I used to think it was Looks
like Tomatos
i used to think that van halen's panama was called cannonball. it was until i was about 16 that i realized my mistake.
...I thought that in Jailhouse Rock, Elvis was singing "everybody in the wholesale block". And I'm not even Jewish!
My ex boyfriend to this day sings 'She's a greasy lover' instead of 'She's an easy lover' when he hears that Phil Collins song on the radio. He refuses to believe that those are not the correct words... all I can do is laugh and think "Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!"
The sugarbabes 'round round' really sounds like ''..........and we'll ride stirfried on the beat down low...''
the actual words are ''......we'll ride still fired on the beat down low..........''
