music: misheard lyrics

I thought that the lyrics to The Rocket Summers, Brat Pack were,

"This goober, this hat, my friend's at second bat, and I've got to admit, sometimes he's pretty quick."

It's really,

"This ain't where it's at, my friends'll second that, and I got to admit, sometimes it's pretty sad."

LOOOL.

Ya'know the song Lonely by Akon, well I just realized a few days ago that the lyrics are "I've got nobody, and I'm all on my own." I always thought they were "I've got no body", as in a head without a body.....

The Macy Gray song, 'I try' has a line that says...My world crumbles when you are not here' but for years I was convinced it was 'I wear googles when you are not here'

I used to think the song "dude looks like a lady" by aerosmith was "doodles like a lady"

I thought the song Skip To My Lou was about skipping to the toilet.

The Nolans song "I'm in the Mood for Dancing" my favourite when I was young, only I thought the lyrics were - "I'm in the nude for dancing."

I guess I was dirty minded as a child!!!

"For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" song - my mum used to believe the line "which nobody can deny"
was actually "strawberry candy eyes".

I used to think that the last line to "I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts" was "Take one small one, balance it on your head." I only realised it was "Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head" when I saw it written down. I've never had brilliant hearing.

Bonnie Tylers "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Bonnies version - I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

My version - I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, We're living in a shed and eating Kelloggs Start

1998 - I think it was around the time "start" was first out, and I became a tad confused...

I had never heard the german version of Oh Christmas Tree (Oh Tanenbaum) until I was 18. I was walking in a dept. store with my brother and we both were positive they were saying "Oh Timebomb". It made no sense for a christmas song but every time they said it we heard timebomb.

The song "Where is the Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake. My sister to think it said, "People killing people tryin childrens hurting and in trying once you practice what you preach then you turn your other cheek. Father father father help us send some violence full of love cause peoples got me got me questioning where is above? above. above where is above, above, above???"

When i was younger, i heard The Beatles sing:

Shes got a ticket to ride,
shes got a ticket to ride,
shes got a ticket to ride,
but she dont care.

My baby dont care.
My baby dont care.

I thought they sang:

Shes got a chicken to ride,
shes got a chicken to ride,
shes got a chicken to ride,
but she dont care.

My baby donkey.
My baby donkey.

Lol. To my surprise, i've found a flashfilm on a website with a chicken riding a baby donkey, and that very same song playing in the background:

Strangers in the night, exchanging glasses...

well I was only young at the time!

When Nirvana's Nevermind first came out, my sister and I used to joke about the last word repeated by Kurt in Smells Like Teen Spirit - not knowing the correct phrase (a denial), and knowing a little Ukrainian, we assumed (naturally) that he had to be saying "Ya Ne Znayoo" or "I don't know"

In the Herman's Hermits song "She's a Must to Avoid" I used to think they were singing "She's a mouse to a boy," whatever that's supposed to mean.

I thought that Westlife's 'Looking like that', was "I saw a running cow" in actaul fact it is "It's so ironic how" My sister laughed at me!!!!!
