misheard lyrics

In the song 'The Justified Ancients of Mumu' by KLF, I used to think the blokes were singing 'Pensions and groove'. I only found out when someone pointed out the real words were 'Ancients of Mumu'. I think mine was better!

I used to think that the group that sang the 80s song "Voices Carry" was telling the story of two people named George and Carrie. As in, "'Oh George, keep it down now!' whispers Carrie"!

(The actual lyrics are *hush hush,* keep it down now, *voices carry*)

Tabby

In the song from Nickleback (I think) He says "This Time I'm mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breakin'" My friend swore he said --"This time I'm steakin--For breakfast I had eggs and bacon"

Another friend told me she used to think "Billie Jean is Not my lover" was--"There's a genie at my door..."

Finally me--In the musical Les Mis Eponine and Marius sing "A little Fall of rain" I was listening to it so I could learn it for an audition and I swore they said "...a little for the brain" and another part went "...the skies begin to clear and I'm at rest" I thought she said " and dry my dress"

As a child i always thought the song Son of Hickory Hollers Tramp was about a boy who's Dad was a tramp!
Wasn't till my 20's when listening to the line "Outside the door there burned a scarlet lamp" i realised he was singing about his Mum!!

I thought "I wandered lonely as a cloud" was "I want a pony for my shroud"-well, the school choir was made up of very horsy girls.

There's an English line to a Cantopop song (sang by Alan Tam) years ago that I always thought was 'And all night in the loo....' which made me burst out laughing whenever it was on... Until I found out from the lyrics book that it actually was 'And all I ever knew...'

cantopop fan?

Guess who used to think Freddie Mercury sang 'I see the the little stilletto of my Nan,' in Bohemian Rhapsody. That's right...me.

I used to think that in the Beatles' "lucy in the sky with diamonds" they were singing "you've seen the sky with diamonds"

More Lyrics:

I couldn't figure out why the Song "Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down was being played on radio stations with this Chorus:

"F-cking me like that..."

potty mouth

I used to think that the lyrics "lets go round again" by Louise from Eternal were actually "leets go round the bend"

When I was 9, my cousin was 8. I had brought my Britney Spears CD to the Thanksgiving gathering that year. I had my headset, and she was listening to "Lucky" on the CD. She was singing along, "And she cries, cries, cries, in the lonely dawn thinking..." I hope she figured out she was wrong.

When I was 6 I heard the song "Who can it be now?". I used to think the words were "Your getting bigger now!" instead of "Who can it be now?". My family burst into laughter when I sang it wrong.

Cool Girl

I used to think in "All My Life" by K-Ci and Jo-Jo it said:

I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love
I'll tear a cherry 'cause

Instead of

I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love
I cherish every hug

I also used to think in the "Blue" song, you remember, that techno one? It said, "I'm blue and I believe I will die..." I'd hate hearing it, thinking, gosh how negative!

instead of the words to Kate Cebarano's song "kiss me passionately" i used to think it was "kiss me pash me then leave"

I used to believe that the song 'right here waiting for you' was 'a building right here waiting for you'..

I also thought that the song by Mercy Playground said 'like a double sheppards pie', when it really says 'like a double cherry pie'.

But the funniest would have to be my bro singing 'do you believe in love like a dove'.. instead of 'do you believe in love after love'.

Checkers

When my brother was younger he thought the song from shrek that goes "i'm on my way from misery to happyness" was "i'm on my way from nudery to honda"... I have no clue why....

He's still a bit off
