music: misheard lyrics

This is about my friend. He's a bit odd, so we thought he was just being goofy, till someone who didn't know him told him its different.

The song is 'shake it like a salt shaker' by the ying yang twins. The chorus of the song is also 'shake it like a salt shaker'.

Kevin thought the song was called 'shake it like a sausage'. He even made up a dance for it (you can imagine what that was..lol)

He honestly thought that 'shake it like a sausage' is how the song went until like 5 diff. girls at the club told him he was wrong.

We still tease him about it every time we hear that song. Try to get him to do his dance too. He still thinks that the songs better his way! :)

My husband told me once that when he was a kid he misunderstood a line from the Fleetwood Mac song "Second Hand News".

Real lyrics: I'm just second hand news...
He thought it was: I'm just standing here nude

When my son was small he thought BTO was "taking care of biscuits" instead of "taking care of business."

My brother once asked my why, in her song "Lucky," Britney Spears sings, "She fly, fly, flies in her lonely car." I just looked at him, burst into laugher, and shouted, "It's, 'cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart,' you idiot!"

Up until yesterday I used to believe that the line in the song 'Seasons of love' from the broadway production 'Rent' went "In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee, In MINGES, in miles
in laughter in strife". Minges meaning a slang word for vaginas. I figured that because Maureen and Joanne were lesbians in the play, they would measure their year in how many people they have one night stands with.

Yep, Stupid I know! But when I listen to the version I own it really does sound like it!

In the song 'Every BreathYou Take', I thought the line "oh, how my poor heart aches..." was "oh, how my pool hall aches...". I figured that someone was destorying their favorite pool hall.

I used to think that the chorus of the theme song from "Flashdance" went:

"take your pants down, and make it happen."

when really it's: "take your passion..."

I always thought it was too dirty for a PG rated movie. :)

I used to think the words to Praise You by Fatboy Slim went "We've come a long long way together, through the hard times and the shoes. I have to try and graze you baby, I have to graze you like a shoe"
It didn't occur to me that you don't generally graze shoes do you?

My Dad was drunk one night at a wedding reception and kept on singing at the top of his lungs to Dancing Queen by Abba, but he kept singing

"Dancing Queen, eating a Chinese with Mr Bean oh yeah, you can dance in your underpants......"

Of course they were not the right words but still had people in fits of giggles.

In "Do- A Deer", I misheard "Tea- a drink with jam and bread" as "Tea- a drink with German bread". But since German is the language spoken in Austria, it made perfect sense and thus I did not pay it a second thought.

As a child of 6 or 7, I believed the lyrics to George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" were "I got my mom to sit on you." Everyone on my bus to school would sing the wrong lyrics when the song aired.

When I was younger my Uncle would play music for me. I use to love the Pilot song Magic. I did not know until just recent that the real lyrics were" It's Magic,you know. Never believe its not so" I thought they were singing "Leave It to Beaver,Fatso".

In the Europe song "The Final Countdown" I thought it goes "it´s the fire of downtown". And a little further there´s a line "Were heading for venus and still we stand tall" and I heard "We´re heading for Beavis" (from Beavis & Butthead)

Up until recently I thought the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" were:
Later on, we'll perspire
As we dream by the fire
To face you're away
The plans that we hate,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

My mom had a good laugh at that one.

When i was about 9 me and my older cousin, who was 13 at the time were driving home from school in her mother's car when the song "Im Horny" came on.
The lyrics are "Im horny,horny,horny,horny,sooo horny, im horny,horny,horny tonight!"
Unfortunately i didnt know what horny meant and assumed they were singing "Honey".
I proceeded to sing along, and was totally offended when my aunt and cousin burst into hysterics.

I use to believe that the lyrics of the song 'kick a little' by Little Texas actually said 'you've go to kiggle-it and cause a stir' instead of 'you've got to kick a little'. The fact that the song was named kick a little never struck me. It wasn't until I was a Junior in college and singing in my car with all my friends that I was corrected...and really embarassed...personally I think kiggle-it-up sounded better anyway!

Remember that song, "Love Potion # 9"

"But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine."

I always thought (until I was like 19!!!) he said,

"But when I kissed a cow and got it ready for a ride"

On the Foo Fighters song "Hero" I couldn't understand what was said until I read the lyrics. Instead of "There goes my hero HE'S ORDINARY." It sonded like "There goes my hero SEARGENT HARRY." Lol!

In the song, "American Idiot" by Green Day, the line goes, "So maybe I'm the f*gg*t America," but I was in third grade and thought it was, "So maybe I'm a fat guy in America."
