I thought the lyrics to "Don't fear the reaper" were "Don't fear the reefer"
our school song had a verse in Latin that said..
Lux Caet Lux Vestra... something like that anyway.... I always thought it said *Lets look at Sandra* She was my friend's sister so I always looked at her. :-)
I used to believe…
the national anthem:
"o say can you see, by the donzerly light..."
so i figured donzerly light was like a nightlight, or a flashlight or anything that helps you see in the dark and then i would ask whoever was there "o say can you see?"

From the Carpenters hit I always sang "calling octopus of interplanetary craft" instead of "occupants".

In the song "We're going to Ibiza", my friend thought they said "we're going to eat pizza"!
My parents used to be thoroughly amused by my somewhat postmodern rendition of popular nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" when I was 3. It went a little something like this...
"Baa baa sheep,
A - wool,
Essir, essir,
Full.
A master,
A dame,
Lane."
Teeny Lynz bows, cue rapturous applause.
I have a friend who thought for years that the Bee Gees were singiing about a 'four legged woman' rather than 'more than a woman'
and my sister would always sing along to a paul young song, singing 'everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you' in stead of 'piece of me with you'.....
My youngest brother used to sing to Paul Youngs "Every time you go away" with the line "Every time you go away you take a piece of MEAT with you"
It's probably unfair to snitch on someone who's not here to defend himself, but someone I knew used to think Nirvana's "I'm a Negative Creep" was "I'm an egg in a tree". Oh for shame.
and then there was that Beatles song - "she's got a tick in her eye" instead of "she's got a ticket to ride"
I used to believe…
not my belief, but my college roomate thought "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun" was "all ten versions of a pelican"-always found that amusing.
When I was four years old, my favorite song in the world was "Girlfriend" by Paula Abdul. There's a part in that song where she yells to her back-up band (which was called "Deal"), "Hey Deal! SING!" My name is Daile, & whenever that song came on the radio, I always thought she was saying, "Hey, Daile! SING!" I was always so amused by the notion that Paula Abdul mentioned me in her song!
The Corrs: "leave me breathless" - "Come on, leave me, Bradley". (Just dump him, girlie!)
Eminem: "but today I'm cleaning out my closet" - "But today I'm coming out my closet" (How brave!)
The first few times I heard Lee Ann Womack singing, "I hope you daaaaaance," I thought she had said, "I hope your're deeeaaaad."
I lived near the Illinois Central train in Chicago, which we called the IC. Every morning in school I sang, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of the IC."
In the beginning of "Wings" Band on the run, It sounded like: Stuck inside these four walls...."Circumcised" forever....
I used to believe…
apparantly as a kid of around 5 years old, i used to sing "go and get stuffed" instead of "when the going get tough (the tough get going)"
thank you please
I used to think the lyrics to 'About a Girl' by Nirvana were 'I need a lizard friend' instead of 'I need an easy friend'. I know I'm not the only one because someone else said something to the same effect.
I used to sort of think that the words in this line of 'Sir Psycho Sexy' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers was 'I got stopped by a lady cop in my lunchable-b'. I was like, 'Why the hell is Anthony Kiedis driving bolonga?'
when watching Dirty Dancing I thugth the lyrics were: Hungry eyes. They got the flavour you cant disguise, ive got hungry eyes.
