music: misheard lyrics

My dad used to think that the part of the ghostbusters theme that went 'Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!' actually said 'Who you gonna call? THOSE BASTARDS'.

Nuff said.

Part of the UK National Anthem goes:
'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'
I thought it said:
'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'
As there were some twins in my class called Laura and Victoria, this sort of made sense, though I wondered how on earth they had made it to the national anthem.

I believed that there were two types of trees. There were the "Partri" and the "Ginapear" trees.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Parti, Ginapear tree......

i thought the beatles song Lucy in the skies with diamonds was about the peanuts (charlie brown) cartoons. i heard "Lucy in Disguise with Linus." i thought the seahorse people and colidiscope eyes were her disguise

In Edwin McCain's song "I'll Be" There's a part where he goes "I'll be captivated". As a kid, I always thought he was saying "I'll be Captain Vader". I envisioned a guy dressing up like Darth Vader in an effort to impress the girl of his dreams.

I used to believe that the Beatles "Let it Be" were singing "letter B" because I had heard that latter version on Sesame Street. I remember that I got into an argument with my mother over it.

As a kid, my dad would play a bunch of Nirvana cds. I always thought the line in Smells Like Teen Spirit that said "Here we are now, entertain us" was "Here we are now, in containers".

I always pictured Kurt Cobain asleep in some sort of test tube, sleeping, like in a container for scientific study or something.

I thought the lyrics to "We're going to Ibiza" by the Venga Boys was "We're going to eat pizza"

The Police - Message in a Bottle:

Actual line: "A year has passed since I wrote my note"

I thought it was: "A year has passed since I broke my nose"!

I used to believe…

correct lyrics: "if we can count on you, scooby doo, i know we'll catch that villain."

what i heard: "if we can't count on you, scooby doo, i know a cat that's willing."

d'oh!

While singing the Australian Anthem in primary school, I was utterly convinced the first line (actually saying "Australian all let us rejoice") said "Australians all eat ostriches."

I found out otherwise when my teacher overheard my loud singing and pulled me aside to get me in trouble. I was very confused.

when i was little i was a huge fan of the Sound of Music. And whenever they sang edelweiss, I thought that they where saying little mice

When I was in the 8th grade, there was a
fairly popular girl in school who thought that
George Harrison's song "I've got my mind set
on you" was actually "Wake up I might sit on
you" yeah, she was blonde...(no offense to
the intelligent towheads!)

When I was younger, like around nine or ten years old, I loved Duran Duran. In the song "Save A Prayer", there's a lyric that goes "Some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise". I thought Simon LeBon was singing about a night stand, like the one by his bed where the lamp is. For years I was confused by why he thought a night stand was paradise, but I figured he was rich and had bought the coolest night stand ever. Wouldn't that be paradise!

I used to believe Madonna was singing 'poppadom peach' rather than 'papa don't preach'! I found out my mistake when i sang it really loudly and got laughed at by my friends

This is not my belief but my 5 year old cousins. I heard her singing Beyonce the other day.. according to her it's 'All the single lettuce, all the single lettuce'
