music: misheard lyrics

The song "our lips are sealed" by the gogo's always used to confuse me when i was little because it sounded like she was saying "I'm a sa-seal". i thought it was really weird that she thought she was a seal...lol then i didnt realize the real lyrics until a few years ago when hilary duff remade it! lol

For the first 50 years of my life, I thought Elvis was singing a song that had some connection to a candy bar called Mallo Cup. I could have sworn he was saying "Amulsha Cup", rather than I'm All Shook Up.

I thought the song by The Human League that goes like "And so the conversation turned, until the sun went down" was "And so the confirmation burned, until the buns turned brown".

I thought in the song "The Caterpillar" by The Cure the line "I'll dust my lemon lies, with powder pink and sweet" was "I'll toss my leather gloves, where Power Pig can see"!

My older brother used to listen to the song Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols. I used to love singing along with it, but when our parents heard I'd get in trouble, and so would my brother for letting me listen, as they didn't approve of the lyrics. This is why I always used to believe the bit in the theme song to The Wonder Years went '...and I'll try not to sing anarchy' instead of '...and I'll try not to sing out of key'

i used to ask my mom to sing me the song about "the mice". "deedle deedle dumpling, mice on john". actually nursery rhyme about "my son john". we had a farm, and there were lots of mice. made sense to me!

I had a friend who thought that in Linda Ronstadt's song "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" she was saying "Oh, Lord, spit upon me."

Prince had the hit " Little Red Corvette " I sung the smash..." Pay the Rent Collect " These kids today

My sisters & I used to get the lyrics to songs mixed up all the time.
The GoGo's song "Our lips are sealed" we thought was "Alex the seal".
Billy Oceans song "When the goin gets tough" we thought was "Well go and get stuffed".(have a listen to it. It may be right!!!!)
The Australian anthem "Our home is girt by sea" we thought was "our home is dirt fly sea".

I used to think the song "Blow,blow Seminole wind" was "blow,blow seven old men"(I didn't understand oral sex then).Also I used to HATE listening to Happy Birthday when I was little,so all the pictures of my childhood birthdays portray me with my hands over my ears.

Our brother Robret used to sing 'whats new push and catch' to Tom Jones' Whats new Pussycat.

i used to think that in the song "ebony and ivory" he was singing "emily, amme-marie, sitting side by side on my piano keyboard". i thought for some reason he'd sat his two little girls on his piano...

I used to believe that the song that goes "I am your lady you are my man" went "I am your latest you are my last".

I always thought it was cool that she would love him forever knowing already he would sooner or later find someone new.

My mom loved Fleetwood Mac when I was little, and I could never understand why she would like a group who sang a song about "parents only love you when they're playing". It was only when I was about 15 that I realized they were saying "Players only love you when they're playing". I used to ask her all the time if she REALLY loved me.

In the song "Naked" by the Spice Girls the lyrics read "Strip you down don't need to care, lights are low exposed and bare" but my friends thought for the longest time that it was "strip you down no need to care, just pull down your underwear"

When my son was three he used to love The Brady Bunch. When it came on he used to sing along with the theme song:

Here's a story/Of an UGLY lady/Who was bringing up three very UGLY girls...
