music: misheard lyrics

In the movie Mary Poppins when she sings Feed The Birds there is a part that goes "all the saints and apostles" that, when I was little, I was convinced went "all the snakes and opossums". My dad always told me I was right and would sing it to me like that when I was going to sleep.

My good friend use to sing "Hit me with your fist Chuck". The words were actually: "Hit me with your best shot".
I can't listen to that song without thinking of him.

Country music by a 3 year old...The song "Prop Me Up Beside The Juke Box" For my 3 year old daughter it went something like this: "Pwop me up beside my juice box if I cry" We still sing it like that!

When I was little my Dad would play Queens Bohemiam Rhapsody and I always thought they were singing "spare him his life for these pork sausages" and not "Spare him his life from this monstrosity" I always thought he'd been caught for killing a man and because he was a poor boy from a poor family they were trying to save him with some pork sausages!

My brother was playing Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze around my mother, when suddenly she exclaimed "That's disgusting! How can you listen to that crap?" We asked exactly what she was talking about and she said "He said he wants to kiss that guy!" Um, mom, its "kiss the sky."

The Elvis song 'There goes my only posession'? I swore black and blue was 'there goes my only potato'.Never could figure out till I was about 22 why he would be singing about potatoes.

In a song I heard by Micheal Jackson, Billie Jean, yesterday, I swore he was saying
"Kitty Kitty, At my door,
he claims I am no fun,
Janet's not my son"

when it was in fact,

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
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

Truly weird.

I used to beleive the lyrics to outcast's miss jackson went "Im sorry miss Jackson, I never meant to make your doctor cry" (it is actually "I never ment to make your daughter cry")

When i was younger i would listen to this song on the radio...the words were "I want my Night life baby" but i heard " I want my night-light baby" haha go figure....

Until scaringly recently, I used to believe Bruce Springsteen's song "Ramrod" contained the line "Come Saturday night I'll let you suck on my cock..." - quite a pleasing prospect for a rabid fan-girl

Dancing bean,feel the meat on a tangerine....
dancin' queen,its all fine your with mr bean oh yeah
you can dance in your underpants...
Those are some lyrics to dancing queen,not made up by me.

I cant remember which song it is, but their was a song by marilyn manson that sung:
'Prick your finger
It is done
The moon has eclipsed the sun.
The angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things'

I had a terrible mishearing of it though. my version was:
'Drink your finger it is done
The moon has eclipsed the sun
Eat your ass, spread its wings
The time has come for peanut things'

We used to sing our own version of 'Karma Chameleon' like this ' come on, come on, come on, come on be a comedian' and the line that goes 'I'm a man, without coviction' we would sing 'I'm a man, without conditioner'

Then two others we misheard were 'Bad moon rising' by creedence clearwater revival as 'theres a baboon on the right' instead of 'theres a bad moon on the rise' and 'Brimful of Asha' was sang by us as 'grim poodle basher on the 45'

There's this song called "Damaged" out there somewhere, and at one point the person sings: There's mending for my soul/ An ending to this fear /Forgiveness
for a man who was stronger" but I thought she said: "There's nothing for my soul, and then until this year, I was gonna miss my man -- he was stronger". (I figured that after "this year" she wouldn't miss him anymore). I didn't get what she meant about his strength though.

I used to think and swore that Fleetwood Mac was singing "Lee-Anne Lee-Anne" when it was actually "Rhiannon Rhiannon" to the point where I looked for years for a Fleetwood Mac album with a song called "Lee-Anne"

I thought that the lyrics to the Avril Lavgine song "Complicated" were "Never gonna find your bacon!" Instead of what it actually is, "never gonna find you fake it!"

I always thought that Randy Edelman's "Uptown Uptempo Woman" lyrics went:

"You're an up town up to going
- I'm a down town, down be gone

Of course it's actually
"You're an uptown uptempo woman, I'm a downtown downbeat guy"

I rember Eiffel 65 blue, me and mates used to think it went "i'm blue i believe i can die"
I remember a scholl disco with dance moves of pretending to slit our throats and then collapsing on the floor. So embarressing.
