music: misheard lyrics

I used to think that the line in the Bee Gee's song "be tender with my love, you know how easy it is to hurt me" was actually, "be tender with my bones, you know how easy it is to break me"

I have a friend who used to sing ' Down down deedums town ' instead of down down deeper and down.
I also had a girlfriend who's mother thought The group Level 42, was Nevelle Fortesque.

The song Torn by Natalie Imbruglia goes "So I guess the fortune teller's right/Should have seen just what was there/ And not some holy light" My friend thinking it said "So I guess the fortune teller's right/Should have seen just what was there/ And not some horny light"

I always thought that in the song "Blinded by the Light" the lyrics were "..wrecked up like a DOUCHE you know the roller in the night" It was only a couple of years ago that I learned it was wrecked up like a DUCE (meaning a type of car)

My friends mom thought she was all hip with young kids music she was singing "pass the kibosea yeah" Meanwhile it's "pass the courvosiea" by Busta Rhymes
She thought it was about a bunch of black guys at a Bar-B-Que eatin kibosea.lol

There is a German Christmas song that begins like this: "Sweeter the bells never ring" and I understood the words to mean "Sweet, the bells never ring", but could never understand why it was my father's favorite Christmas song.

I thought the Carpenters song went: "Calling occupants of interplanetary crap". I thought the lyrics were a bit strange, but she was unmistakeably saying "crap".
Years later it suddenly dawned on me that the Karen Carpenter was American, and had an American accent...

I used to think the song with the lyrics "down on the board walk, board walk" was "moor pork, moor pork" until the age of 8 or 9 when my younger neighbours could not stop laughing at me. They had great joy in letting me know the correct lyrics.........

This was a young cousin of mine preparing to out for the evening. Standing in front of the mirror i heard him sing.....Oh nunshy bunch is a little baby.......i worked out by the tune that what he was singing was "All that she wants is a little baby" by ace of base

Until last week, I thought the lyrics to"I Showed Her", were, "I Shall Return".

I liked it better my way.

Instead of "Do they owe us a living? Course they do! Course the do!" in the Crass song.. my friend believed it was.. "Do they owe a living? Cosovo! Cosovo!"

I used to think that the line from Bohemian Rhapsody was "Beelzebub had the devil for a sideboard, here" instead of "Beelzebub had the devil put aside for me"

When I was a kid I thought it was "Maxwell Jump" instead of "ah, might as well jump" from Van Halen's song "Jump" on their album 1984.

I used to think that Sting was singing "desert rose, L.A. , L.A." (L.A.,the city)but i guess that wasn't so..:D

well when my cousin was about 4 which wasnt to long ago--she really liked music and taht song by janet jackson- the one that goes he*ll drive a funky car was one of her favorites and well she began to say teh words and she thouhgt funky was Fu**in so she would go around saying he*ll drive a fu**in car.. lol

Until we looked up the lyrics, I thought the Les Miserables `little people` said "a fly can fly arond her site..." and I thought allflies were female and were territorial. I was firmly conviced for 2 months
