music: misheard lyrics

I'm a die hard Radiohead fan, and for YEARS I thought that the song "Go to Sleep" went like this:

Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something WEIRD is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone SAW someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me


REAL LYRICS:
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna wake monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me

In the song Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson, in the chorus he says "Billie Jean, is not my lover, she's just a girl who claims that, I am the one, but the kid is not my son".

I thought he said "Billie Jean, is not my daughter, she's just a girl who claims that, I am the one, Billie Jean is not my son."

First she's a daughter, then a son!

Until I was about 11 when we would watch baseball games or go to them I thought the line "and the home of the brave" was referring to the Braves (my favorite team) dugout...I didn't think it was fair to only sing praise of one team

You know that dance song sung my the One Hit Wonders Eiffel 65 called "I'm blue"? Well at the Chourus they say "I'm blue-da bu de da bu die" For many Years I thought they were saying "I'm in need of a guy."

Sadly I didn't learn the truth till I was 12.

My father sometimes likes to ask my brother what the name of a certain song is.

Two of the funniest answers that he's SERIOUSLY given have been "Gecko" for the Rolling Stones "Get No(satisfaction)" and "Slow Moving Waters" for Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Waters"

To this day, I believe that the song that features the lyrics:

"Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen, I know,
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strumming on the old banjo."

Has a very dirty second meaning.

Once while I was going somewhere with a friend and my sister the song "Blurry" by "Puddle Of Mud" started playing on the radio so me,my sister and my friend started to sing it. (We liked the song obviously.) But while me and my singer were singing the song correctly:
(It said :"Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake and everybody's empty and everything is so messed up...")
my friend was singing the complete opposite of the song:
(She said:"Everything so perfect,everything so right..." And god knows what else...)And man did we make fun of her for it!!! Ha ha.

My Brother thought that thelyrics to the Who song, Who are you, were "Blue Walrus: needless to say, I can no longer listen to the song without thinking of him singing the song!

My boyfriend is always making up his own silly versions of songs, but the best one I've heard so far was his rendition of 'Wannabe' by the spice girls because instead of the real lyrics, which are.

If you wanna be me lover
ya gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends

He sang....(wait for it)

If you wanna be my plumber
Ya gotta have a monkey wrench
Fixin pipes forever
Flooding never ends

This he followed up with....

Send your buddies down and buy us all a round.

And the Zig a Zig ah bit he sang as...

I wanna, I wanna really, really.........big fat cigar!

The song 'Sway' by Bic Runga, goes like this

"Indeed, its time I tell you why, I say it's infinitely True..."

For years I was singing,

"Indeed, its time I tell your why, I say its in from the kitchen."

in Rhianna's song umbrella it says "you can stand under my umbrella ella ella aye aye" an di thought it said "You can be mine forever ever ever aye aye aye"
lol
Silly me!

When my brother and I were little, perhaps first grade, our favorite song was "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35". We were convinced that the line "everybody must get stoned" (and the entire chorus surrounding it) was about medieval times, and used to run around the house shouting those few lines ALL THE TIME. Our parents used to have us stand on top of the piano and sing it frequently when we had guests over, and we never understood why everyone found us so funny!

When I first heard the song "Feliz Navidad", I had no idea that it's a Spanish phrase, so I thought it was actually something like "At least knock me down"

I used to believe…

a case study of a child with an active imagination and waxy ears.
My little sister has gradually disabused me of these notions, between peals of derisory hysterical laughter.
I believe in mackerel ... where ya from, you sexy thing
(Hot Chocolate)
Sue Lawley...Sue Lawley...Sue Lawley
(The Police)
Beelzebub has a table for a sideboard
(Queen)
Poppadom Bridge, I'm in trouble deep
(Madonna)
In the western sky, the kilted chauffeur
(Sisters of Mercy)

oh yes, and she almost wet herself when i pronounce Jamiroquai as 'jammyrokey'. That doesn't really count as a childhood belief, though, because it was, erm, very recent.

when my daughter was about 6 years old and was losing her teeth, she thought the song, Little Deuce Coop by the Beach Boys, was Little Loose Tooth.

In the song "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan sings "I'm taking a ride with my best friend"... I thaught it was "I'm taking your wife, be my best friend"...
