music: misheard lyrics

When I was young my parents were very keen on 70's and 80's rock and "Dire Straits" were one of their favourites. They would listen to "Money for Nothing" which has a lyric "get your money for nothing, and your chicks for free".
Now, I misheard that line and on a family day out in the car to said song, I came out with; "Daddy, if I grow up to be a rock star, will I get free chips?"

I used to belive that the song - Heh Baby Oh ah etc was about a person being constopated as-
A.) I couldn't understand what the heck tha guy was singing
and
B.) The Oh Ahh nit always sounded like someone trying to get out a poo poo!
I still don't know what the songs baou but I do know that it isn't about being constipated!

Insane Clown Posse has a song called "Assasins".
The chorus goes "Ya know who ya f***ing wit, w-w-w-w-w-wicked clowns!" I would always sing it like" Ya know who ya f****ing wit, b-b-b-b-b-b-break it down!"

Oh God, ICP disco!

There was a song I misheard when I was really little. I don't know the title, but I thought it went like this:
I tut (like king tut) you once, I tut you twice
A walnut cold at any advice
(That's all I remember. I wrote down my wrong lyrics somewhere, and it was at least the whole chorus.) I always assumed it would make more sense when I got older. And it did, but only when I found out it went like this:
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
(at least, I think--my hearing's better now, but I've never really looked it up.) I don't think that would have made sense to the little kid me either ;)

My nephew liked the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Only in his mind, it was Obi la adobe Heart-whatever that means
:-) He got mad if we tried to tell him the real words.

In Jessica's post earlier, she said she misheard a Depeche Mode lyric as "Jesus took a pee in the grass," but that it was actually "someone to be oppressed." The actual line is "someone to hear your prayers"--my friends and i used to argue about those lyrics ad nauseam!

I used to believe…

up til recently when i watched CSIi wud go really crazy
i thought the lyrics were
oooooooohhhhhhh Holly ou ou
until i listened 2 my mates i-pod. The lyrics are who are you? who? who?(sumthing like that)
BUT im 16 and my names holly now my mates call me blonde

I used to believe…

the full house theme song:
what ever happen to the little billetite
milkman, paper boy, even tv
mister old vermillion friends
waiting just around the bend
everywhere u look
its so hard its so hard
i hear your hong kong too
lightness waiting to carry you home

You know that Keley Clarkson song Behind These Hazel Eyes. When I was 8 I thought she was saying Jesus Christ instead of behind these hazel eyes. Months later when I bought Kidz Bop 8 I realized my mistake. Before that,I thought it was weird she saying Jesus Christ, I'm 10 now. I hate Kidz Bop now.

i used to believe that the song 'youth of the nation' by POD went:

we are we are the youth of the nation we are we are human cycle ation

i also thought that 'hips dont lie' by shakira went
'im on tonight my hips dont lie and im starting to feel you boy. contractions, my ass wins cant you see baby this is perfection.'

My sister came home one day from elementary school singing "i'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommey Pizza potty me"

I used to think that in the Gin blossoms song that went " Found out about you" they were saying ' oksona bayool"
like the figure skater

my aunt karen though that song

"IM CRAZY FOR THIS GIRL"

said..

"IM CHASING FOR AUNT SHIRL"

we laughed sooo hard.. it was real funny

My parents had a record of traditional (I think) Greek music - no idea what the song really was but there was one I always believed the words were "a fairy a fairy..." sung over and over

My mom's boyfriend thinks the song Call me when you sober, by Evenesance is Happy when your sober, by verision. We thought it was so funny!!

I always thought that Rockstar by Miley Cyrus said "I could be so flat on your car" and it upset when I heard little kids singing the song!
