I was about 15 when the song Video Killed the Radio Star was hot. I could not understand what this song was all about. Of course, I knew what a radio star was, because i had astronomy as a hobby. And a video was a device to record tv shows.
The English lyrics were truely incomprehensible to me, although at the time i accepted the fact that it's ok for lyrics not to make much sence.
I always thought that the song was "Better days of fire" until a cover version came out a couple of years ago, then I found out it was "Bette Davis Eyes"
If there could be better day to have a fire...
I used to think that "Here Comes the Hotstepper - Murderer" - went "Here comes the Hotstepper - Girl A Rock"!!!
And that it was "Boogie with the night" not "Boogie Wonderland"
And many more!
Remember the song "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Base?
I remember when it was really popular (I was in 2nd grade at the time.) I used to think that the title was "I SMELL the Sign". I even have a clip on VHS of me singing it that way!
I am still made fun of about this....
I also thought the name of the band was Ace-a Base and it was the main singer's name. Ha!
pick of the bunch
When I first heard about the record "Tea for the Tillerman" (by Cat Stevens??? I don´t know) I thought it was "Teeth for the Tillerman"...
I believed for 2 years that the chorus of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters was "I love Vanessa, turn my world around!" Actually the real words are "I'm a different person, yeah, turned my world around". Sometimes the lyrics of dance tracks can be hard to understand. Too much bass beat!
pick of the bunch
In "Dammit" by Blink182, I thought that it was not "this is growing up", but "sis is growing up"!
I just read the belief about someone thinking that the song I'm 'Blue' went 'I'm blue I'm in need of a guy'. I used to think that it was 'I'm blue I believe I will die'.
I used to believe that the lyrics from Chaple of love by the beach boys where:
"goin to the jackolantern, gonna get married" , instead of
"Going to the chapel And were gonna get married"
I don't remember this, but according to my parents, one Christmas my sister and I went around giving out "Herald Angel Rings," because we thought those were the words to "Hark! The Herald Angel sings!"
I used to think TLCs song Unpretty was called 'Im pretty' and would sing all the 'unpretty' bits as ' damn Im pretty' proudly pointing at myself
And still on TLC, I always used to hear ' Dont go Jason Waterfalls pissing to the rivers like you used to.... instead of dont go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers like you used to!
when i used to hear berlins song being played on the radio take my breath away
how i heard it:
all they sell is potions
finally lovers know no shame
real one:
on this endless ocean
finally lovers know no shame
what type of potions were they selling?or somtimes i used to think she was saying lotions
pick of the bunch
I know I am not the only one who used to sing John Mayer's 'your body is a wonderland' as ' alice in wonderland'
pick of the bunch
I believed that the homecoming queen in 'Daydream Believer' was a queen, and she was coming home.
My friend and I loved the song "Down on the Corner", we especially loved singing along with it. The problem was, we didn't know the lyrics. Until we looked the lyrics up online, we sang the lyrics, "Down on the corner, out in the street, with a busload full of cattle, and veniffo dadalie" for about three years.
People must have thought we were retarded.
You the song, 'This is how you remind me', by, 'Nickleback'?
My friend thought he was, 'Tired of living like a black man'. XD
Okay, I have two misheard lyrics. I just realized I was singing them wrong only a few months ago. XD Okay, the first one is:
In the song "Lying From You" the lyrics go:
"I'd rather be all alone"
I heard: "I'd rather bake all alone". XD
Okay, the second one is in the song "Hit The Floor"
The real lyrics are "Making your heart stop"
I thought it was: "Thinkin' your hot stuff" XD I guess it makes sense.
There is a song by Eminem called Mockingbird. The lyrics to part of it go "stiffen that upper lip up little lady...." Well I thought Eminem just made up a beat to throw in the song and I heard "stiffa nada bump neck little lady" It was only after my younger sister informed me that I knew otherwise
" In the jungle,the mighty jungle,the lion did a shite.In the jungle,the peaceful jungle,the lion did a shite....Oooh,Eeeeee,Oh Oh Oh ee um um away"
Another gem from 4-year old Paddy.
The GoGo's song "Our Lips Are Sealed" sounded like "Honest I See You" to me for a long time.
