music: misheard lyrics

in the song "take my breath away" by berlin, i thought that the lyrics was "took my brother away..." and i was so sad because someone took her brother away...
I'm a brother of three sisters, and I was also sad because of what would happen if someone took me from them - they will be sad... :(

my dad always thought that in the song "like a prayer" - madonna, where it says "let the choir sing" he thought it said "level crossing" for years. i found it hilarious. haha

i used to think that in the Jackson 5 song rockin robin when they sung ' He out bobbed the buzzard and the oriole'
i thought he said he out bopped the b buzzard and the Oreo!

I remember listening to the radio in the car as a child when the hymn "How Great Thou Art" came on. Instead of "how great thou art", I thought it was "I'll break your heart."

In the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer there is a line that goes "As they shouted out with glee". When my mom was little she used to sing "As they shouted out with Gleem". Gleem was a toothpaste brand back then. We still sing it this way just to tease her.

When I was going into the 8th grade, the song, "I'm, Henry the 8th, I am" was just coming out. I heard the lyrics wrong, however, until I turned 27 years old, I REALLY thought the words were... "I'm entering the 8th, I am!" I really loved that song... thought it was written just for me.

Until now, (I'm 22 and I was 15 when I first heard the song)"I got chills, they're (or you're) multiplying" from Greased Lightning was "I got shoes, they're both a-flyin.'" Hee hee!

Up until about a month ago when we corrected her, my oldest sister (who is now 22) was convinced that the words to Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" was actually "cheap wine and a 3 legged goat". She could never undenstand why anyone would want to sing about 3 legged goats!

When I was maybe 4 or 5, the song 'Taking care of business' came on the radio.. and I sang 'Taking care of biscuits'! I thought it was that until I was like 7 or 8. My parents still make fun of me everytime it comes on the radio.

I thought for...over ten years that the words to the popular swing song "Jump, Jive, and Wail" were, "Drunk driving/ can you worry bout it/ drunk driving/ can you worry away?"

When Destiny's Child started to become really popular and "Jumpin, Jumpin" was on the radio a lot, my aunt used to get angry at my cousins and me for singing along because she thought it said, "...the club is full of ballers and they cocks is full grown..." instead of "...the club is full of ballers and they pockets full grown..." It took us laughing hysterically at her and actually looking up the lyrics to prove it to her before she believed us. Everytime we hear it, we still make fun of her by singing her lyrics 'til she's red in the face.

My friend Sam used to thing that that "Grease lightning" song went "i've got chills, from multiplying"
It was funny when we finally broke the news to her...

R.Kellys "Bump and Grind":
I used to think he says:"I don't see nothing wrong, with a little bun and wine..."
There sure ain't nothing wrong with that :)

Jingle bells...

I used to believe until I was about 22 that in Jingle bells it was a "one horse soap and sleigh". My husband politely informed me it's "one horse OPEN sleigh..."
I never really thought about it but was so very embarrassed when he told me what it really was.
*duh* PFFFFTTTTTTTT!

I always thought the Kenny Roger's "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille" song said "four hundred children and a crop in the field" (instead of four hungry children). I thought it was a little bit over the top to have a story with quite so many children!

My friend Jenn just admitted that she thought the Cher song "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" was Gypsies, Chimpanzees.
