Not really mine - when my mother was a kid there was a pop song called "I Want You Back". Apparently several of her friends thought it sounded like "I Wash Your Back".

OH YAH I just remembered another one (I have so many of these darn things)!!

This one, to my friends and I, is particularily hysterical becuase I sent it into another misheard lyrics site. Little did I know, it was a church site, with misheard lyrics from church hymns. Go figure. Anyway, I was eager to send in a good screw-up of mine and didn't bother reading some of the other entries. I submitted this line, from of all songs, "Warning" by Green Day:
In the first verse, right before the chorus, the line is, "get your philosophy from a bumper sticker". And if anyone reading this has even heard ONE of their songs knows that their lead singer (as much as I idolize him) is WHOLLY AND COMPLETELY incomprehensible (drunk? Perhaps), making the line, to me, sound instead like "get the fools off your feet and grow a bumper sticker". GOD I am retarded. My friends laughed their heads off at this. I just think I'm an idiot.

In Harry Conick Jr's song "I just whisper your name" my cousin thought he said: "I just whisper Germaine"
She found it very strange that the song mentioned her uncle's name

I thought in drop it like it's hot it went like this:

When the pits in the crib mom
(drop it like its ho-ot
drop it like its ho-ot
drop it like its ho-ot)

And all the baywatch get aachoo
Pork and like it's hot
Pork and like it's hot
Pork and like it's hot

And if Nivea get a attitude
Pop it like its ho-ot
pop it like its hot
pop it like its hot

got the roley on my arm
and i'm pulling Sean Dunn
And I run the best sh*t
Cause i got it going on


Actually it goes like this

When the pimps in the crib ha?
drop it like its hot (DILIH)
When the babes try to get at you
DILIH
and if a n**** get a attitude
DILIH
I got the roley on my arm
And i'm pouring Chandon
And all the best,
Cause I got it going on

I used to think in the song "Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan that in the part where it goes "Throw my hands up in the air to the beat like-" and then some guy goes "WHAT!" I thought that was Lindsay going "WHAT!"
It weirded me out.
Also, in the some "Creeps me Out" by Ima robot, they go ,"It's just your love, girl, it creeps me out" but I thought they were saying "Adjust your lugnut, it peeps, meow!"

For the longest time, I thought the song "Paperback Writer," by the Beatles was actually called "Paperback Right Turn."

My husband has never been very good at getting the lyrics of songs correct, or even products names right (Simmeroff for the vodka and nonfast colour eds for non fast coloureds on the washing machine) but anyhow, one story he told me was on the song Liberator by Spear of Destiny. He would always sing for the chorus at the top of his voice 'I'm a little bit high, a little bit high, a little bit, a little bit' and could not work out why it was called Liberator until some friends corrected him.

For ages i thought the words to Mrs Jackson (can't remeber who its by but its quite recent) actually said 'its my british accent' until i was caught singing it in front of my friends - it made sense at the time!

In the Michael Bolton song "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You", I thought the lyrics were..."tell me all about it, tell me 'bout your fans and makeup". Really it was "tell me all about it tell me 'bout the plans your makin". Oops.

The song *Blinded by the Light* was always a frustration for me, I always heard "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a deuce and a loner in the night" until just now, this very instant I have decided to check out the real lyrics and it actually says, "And she was blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night"...well I wasn't that far off,I got deuce right!

When I heard the song "www.memory" by: Alan Jackson I thought it was saying "Kentucky ducky ducky dog memories"- i have no idea how i got that out of that,lol!

Years ago there was a boyband who had a song titled Hangin Tough,, one of the radio stations plays 80's and 90's and my teenage son looks and me and says that's a stupid song "Singin Dumb"

— ChrispyHexagon

I forgot what song it was but on the radio it was rapping, "Gay porn" and I rapped along, "Game court" OOOPS!

— Game Court, Dawg

In The Creed Song "What This life For" My Dad thought "we all live under the reign of one king" was "we all live under the reign of monkey".

— Derek G

In " my heart will go warm" by celine dion, instead of "I Believe my heart will go warm" I thought it was " I Believe the hot dogs go warm!" It was very strange, i wiondered why they piocked it as the theme tune before i found out the real words.
