music: misheard lyrics

I used to think, that song(cant remeber who its by feats vanessa calton) called Big yellow taxi actually said "put up a f*****g lie" when it actually said "put up a parking lot" i am really stupid

From the 9 inch Nails album Pretty Hate Machine:
I tought "Terrible lie" was "Terrible Eye."
I also thought "I was up above it" was "I was f**kin Bubba."

9 inch nails is still weird though.

I used to believe that in the Rolling Stones song "Shattered" that instead of singing: "Shadoobee, Shattered, shattered" they were singing "Shazbat, shazbat."

It didn't help that I was a big MORK AND MINDY fan, and it REALLY didn't help that when I sang along this way in my father's presence, and then briefly got concerned and asked him if, wait, WAS that right? that he kept a straight face and said yes, yes it was.

I used to think that the lyrics to John Foggerty's 'Centrefield' were...'Booby and Co, They're ready to play today' My sister ripped it out of me fo that one.

I also thought Mr Bump had stripes - instead of what were obviously bandages. I was put right at 17!

Not actually my belief, but when my daughter was younger, she thought that TLC's Waterfalls song said, "Don't go Jason Waterfalls".

There is a song by Mister Mister that I believed instructed you to carry rasins everywhere.

'carry a rasin
down the road that I must travel
carry a rasin
through the darkness of the night'

The song is called "Kyre" Latin (i think) for God. And 'Kyre lays upon the road I must travel etc.'

I always wondered how a dried grape would help you in the dark.

Back in '94, we caught our friend singing along to Everything But the Girl's "Missing," but rather than singing, "like the deserts miss the rain," he was singing, "...and I miss you like the desert's mystery."

I still kinda like his version.

I can't remember what the song is...I can't even remember what it even sounds like, but I do remember that there is a boy at the end of the song that goes 'Clap your hands'. When my sister and I heard it on the car radio, we thought he was saying 'bucket head'. We were both wondering what that has to do with anything.

this is my cousins...
when she was about 3, she used to sing: "ride a croc horse, to BAN BEE cross, fine lady, white horse, fingers and toes, ever ever she goes" instead of: "ride a cock horse, to banbury cross, to seea fine lady upon a white horse. with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, and she will make music wherever she goes
cracked me up every time

A friend of mine used to think that the Scribe song that is supposed to go "How many dudes you know flow like this? Not many, if any" was "How many dudes you know flow like this? How many, bout fity" (as in, slang of fifty!)

Remember that song "Down Under" by "Men At Work" - well one of the lines is:

Ya better run
Ya better take cover

My version:
Ya better run
Ya better take a-boat

Ummm...wha?

In the chorus of Greenday's "Holiday," the lyrics go "I beg to dream and differ." When I first heard it, I thought it was "I beg to Truman."

I thought "why are they talking about dead presidents?"

My Daughter sings onlong to Gwen Stefani's 'What you waiting for'
with............' What you wedding for ' !!

Metallica - Sad But True

"You know it's Saint Patrol"
"SAINT PATROL"

I love SUZANNA VEGA and her soft voice, but can't always hear all her words right. I got her CD out before I learned the real lyrics. For a week I thought the song 'MARLENE ON THE WALL' went like THIS:

But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing

My LEMON on the wall.

I never understood that she was saying 'Marlene'..(I'dnever heard such a name before), so my brain came up with 'lemon'.... try'na make sense of it.

Up until today, I thought that one line to the From First To Last song 'Note To Self', went as follows:

'I wanted ... To be the breath of God ... Oh!'

The correct lyrics are:

'I wanted ... To be the breath of fresh ... Air.'

Honestly, I have no clue how I misheard THAT. o_o;
