music: misheard lyrics

A while ago I was complaining to some people, who like Fall Out Boy, that FOB were hard to understand. I told them I only knew what they were saying 'cause someone told me. You know, the part that goes:

'We're going down town, and we're running around,
Sugar we're going down singing,
I'll be your number 1 with a bullet,
Na na na na na,
Cocking and bullet.'

I only got as far as running around before they stopped me, laughing. I'm glad they didn't hear the rest. hehe

P.S The real lyrics are:

'We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it'

On Death Cab for Cutie's expo 86 (or whatever it's called), I thought the line, "as if you held in your hand a smoking gun, and on the floor lay the one you loved" was really "as if you held in your hand a smoking gun, and on the four-legged one you loved."

Also when it said "familiar resolve" I thought it said "familiary's song". Not quite sure what I thought a "familiary" was...

You know 'Are you the one' by the presets? I thought he was saying, 'hoooow, are you girl!!!'
And I used to sing it very loudly with my friends. They never even mentioned anything. They all think I'm a spaz, i suppose.

In David Bowie's song Life On Mars, I thought the lyrics were:

Sane Lords fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those gay men go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the law man
Felling up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It kind of makes sense.

My brother used to believe that the part of 'Margaritaville' where Jimmy Buffett sings 'Some people claim that there's a woman to blame' was actually 'some people claim that there's a warm nun to blame'.

Our class sang "My country, 'tis of thee" every day in second grade, and I thought the last two lines went "from every mountaintop, every domray". For a good while I wondered what a domray was, until I finally figured out it was 'let freedom ring'

Go listen to the song "Every light in the house is on," by Trace Adkins, the country music singer,
I swear in the second verse he says,
"that's me waiting at home each night in Georgia."
Well my friends are always correcting me,
they said it's,
"that's me waiting at home each night to hold you."
Whatever! I like mine better.

my mum or my brother used to think the words to a song ( i dont no the name) were ' some times i fell like throwing my pants up in the air' instead of 'some times i fell like throwing my HANDS up in the air'

I used to think the lyrics to "Venus" were "I'm your fidas, I'm your fire, and George 'n sire" instead of the actual lyrics which are "I'm your Venus, I'm you fire, at your desire."

I used to mthink that "I'll never let you go" by Third Eye Blind, was "Another Latchiko, Another Latchiko." My friend thought it was "I'd rather wear JNCO." we still laugh at that song

Tina Turner sang 'let me be be the one you come a-running to'in let's stay together (was it Al Green who did the original?)
I thought she was saying 'Let me be your comaronitoo' - some kind of native american protector or something, I don't know.

in the Chicago song "25 or 6 to 4" i thought they were singing "oh chicago i want more" instead of "25 or 6 to 4

When I first heard Justin Timberlake's song Rock Your Body, I thought that he said a bad word on the lyrics: I wanna f*ck your body.

I used to think the blur - parklife song contained the lyrics, 'we all go handy-pand' instead of 'hand in hand'

i used to believe the song "you shook me all night long" went you she'll be all night long
