My 9-year-old sister never gets the words to songs right. One day I was listening to, "Makes No Difference" by Sum 41. I heard her singing, "The reasons you gave me, we're all wearing fins!" when the real words are, "The reasons you gave me are all wearing thin." I laughed so much and I still tease her about it!
I used to believe…
worringly until quite recently i thought that in Will Smith's song - Boom Shake the Room they were singing "pump it up CHRIS" instead of "Pump it up PRINCE". Actually i've sung that out loud and no-one ever corrected me... so that's why they laughed !!
In February me and my family went to a concert with Kraftwerk. When the song "Numbers" came up, my life stopped for a second. I´ve always known a part of the lyric as:
"I am Padding,
and Sam Tackting".
Now, in the age og nineteen, I do not have to ask myself who the heck this guys are anymore, and why they´re mentioned in a song about numbers.. Because the correct lyric is:
"I´m adding,
and subtracting"...
-Great concert, by the way! ; )
Remember that techno song "I'm blue da boo de da boo day deh" well, I heard "I'm blue, I believe I will die"
And one of my friends thought it was "I'm nude, I'm in need of a guy" yea. personally, I like our lyrics better.
my sister's friend used to think that "lets give them something to talk about" was "lets give them something from taco bell"...so now every time we go to taco bell we sing...lets get em something from taco bell...it should be taco bells theme song oooo yea muahahaha

when i was little i used to think that AC/DC were singing about a dalmation until someone told me it was actually rock and roll Damnation.
One of my friends thought that in the song "Hero" when it says "And we'll fly on the wings of heroes, watch as they all fly away" actually said "And we'll fly on the wings of mosquitoes..."
As a little boy, I constantly misheard The Beach Boys' song California Girls. It confused me, especially in their high-pitched voices, when I heard them sing "I wish we all could be California girls!" It made me feel funny inside. I knew they were very cool, because no one was cooler than a surfer--was I supposed to want to be a California girl too?
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I thought the line, "I got my first real six-string," (from Summer of '69), was "I got my first real sex dream!" I thought it was a bit risqué!
About every month since 1978 my Dad will utter at some stage while going about his daily business the opening line of Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache" as "It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg". We have even invented the French version of the song: "C'est un oeuf dur, rien qu'un oeuf dur..."
I used to believe the lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" were, as follows: "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?/ Where the Dead live and die . . ." As such, I was irrationally terrified of the song for many years. Always imagining this carnival of the dead, full of skeletons on ferris wheels and such.
Remember good old Scorpions with "Rock you like a hurricane"? I seriously thought the song was about a guy that was causing decay and making people rot, and then comparing himself with a furry crane:
Here i am!
Rot you like a furry crane!
Doesn't make much sense, does it? :)
My family had real problems with Bob Marley.
We had 'Pixiedust' (exodus)
'i shot the sherrif but i didnt shoot no dead budgie' (i shot the sherrif but i didnt shoot the deputy)
and the best was pixiedust groovy bunch of people.
i was proud of pixiedust.

I used to think that the line "all the leaves are brown" in California Dreaming was really "all the Lisa Browns" *grin*

I used to think in 'theme from Shaft' the line went
'Whos the cat who wont come out when theres danger all about?'
Not much of a hero really!

I thought Maria Carey's 1998 ballad was 'I'd give my arms' instead of 'I'd give my all'.
I used to believe…
there's this commercial that they recently played a lot on cartoon network. It advertises a compilation album of love songs. And my daughter, who watches cartoon network a lot (she's six), was particularly smitten with one song. She'd sing it - or at least the part from the commercial - all the time. And one day she asked me to buy that song for her. "Daddy, I want you to get me Osamio Lady." "Osami lady?" I asked. And then she sang it to me. I recognized it from the commercial, but I realized that I didn't know what it really said either. My girlfriend finally cleared things up for us. The song is "Cause I'm your lady" by Celine Dion.
My friend used to think hit me with your rythm stick was hit me with your fiddle stick!! lol
I used to think that in the Fatboy Slim song 'Funk Soul Brother', instead of 'Check It Out Now, Funk Soul Brother' it said 'Check It Out Now, Vauxhall Nova'
Well I hate to admit but I misheard these lyrics just this year and I am not a kid (30ish). The song "Mr. Brightside" from The Killers came on the radio and I was singing at the top of my lungs that last phrase as "Viagraaaaa...Viagraaaa" when my fiance burst out laughing. Turns out the actual phrase is "I neveerrrr...I neveeerrr." To this day we still joke about the "Viagra song" when it comes on the radio!
