music: misheard lyrics

During Christmas every year, my favorite CD at my grandmother's to listen to was (and still is) John Denver and The Muppets singing Christmas songs. My favorite was The Twelve Days of Christmas, and when the sixth day came, I always thought the words, instead of "six geese-a-laying," were "six piece of lady." I remember singing along with Skeeter on that part.

The REM song The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight. Here comes my crazy lyric, the chorus line "going in to wake her" i was convinced and i want all to listen because Michael Stipe is messing with us really says "Born in Jamaica" honest

Ive just read that the song Poison Summer is actually called Boys of Summer....well, my Grandad used to tell me that I should learn something new every day!
Also, last week while singing along to Nirvana's About a girl, my sister belts out "I need a measley friend"...stupid girl!

Remember the song "Out of Reach" by Gabrielle? Well my horrible elder brother convinced me that she wasnt' singing "out of reach" but was singing "Valerie".....and I was caught singing Valerie in public.....lol...

My most favorite song by Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", was one of many songs I sang wrongly.
In one verse, I sang "And stricken by a harlot's social scene, just a pawn I paid five dollar and eighty quid", when it was "I'm strangled by your haunted social scene, just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen."
...Luckily I now have a book of lyrics to help correct me.

i thought the tiffany song, "I think we're alone now" was sooo risque... I heard the words "holding on to one night stands" instead of "holding on to one another's hands"!

my sister and her firiends who didnt speak english as well believed that the famous line from the grease song "tell me more, tell me more" actually said...chamimoa chamimoa

I thought the words to "When I come around" by Green Day was "When I caught a red hound"--- not horrible, it fits perfectly, just doesn't make much sense with the rest of the lyrics

In the song "I'm every woman" I wasn't sure what the words were, so I made up my own version called "Climb every mountain" and it makes sense with the next lyric "it's all in me"

I would sing out the lyrics to Creedence Clearwater Revival song, Lodi "stuck in Lodi again" as "only the old die young"...until a college friend (after she recovered from laughing) told me the real lyrics. I still have trouble referring to the song correctly!

my uncle and dad have argued this for years...in the song Henery the Eighth my uncle swears the line goes "She's been married several times before" when obviously it is "seven times before" if this Henery bloke is number 8 on her list...jeez

In one of Eminems song, its goes Marashall, which is his real first name. But i thought i keept saying "Usher". I was like, why Usher??

I used to think in the song good riddance (time of your life) by greenday when they say "time grabs you by the wrist" i thought it was "tom grabs you by the wrist" and i thought they were talking about tom delonge from blink 182

When my son Liam, who is nearly 17 now, was little he always used to sing his version of the Los Lobos song 'La Bamba' as 'la la la bamba, spaghetti meatballs, the bigga banana' it always made me and his dad fall about in fits of laughter

Joseph Quick thought the words in roses by outcast were I know you like to think your sh*t dont stand and Caroline shes 49

i used to believe that the song staying alive went sell it high
