misheard lyrics

As a child I always thought that the King of Israel was named "Born" - King Born. From the Christmas Carol "The First Noel"....."Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel" BORN IS THE KING of Israel

When I was about 5, I used to love singing christmas carols, and my favourite was "I saw mummy kissing santa claus".

But I always thought the line "underneath the mistletoe last night" was actually "on his little missing toe last night"

My mum still has video tapes of me singing those lines to the song, even pointing to my toes while I was singing it.

What I wanna know now is; Even if Santa DOES have a "missing toe"...how could anyone kiss it? IT'S NOT THERE!

As an elementary school child I believed that in "Winter Wonder Land" they perspired instead of conspired by the fire.

Until I was about 18 I thought that the lyrics to Madonnas 'Erotic' were,

'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body.'

He was on childrens television a lot at the time.

I thought Aerosmith's 'Love in an Elevator' was 'Loving a man like Victor'.

When I first heard Bruce Springsteen's song, "Born in the USA," I thought that the song was "Porn in the USA"

My Ex-wife when she was little used to believe that the name of the song was "Only Baloney" instead of " Only The Lonely."

You know that song that goes "When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie, it's amore"? well, i used to think he was saying "it's a Moray", and it made no sense to me until i discovered that AMORE is "love" in Italian! lol

Amore

i used to think that the guy singing "smack my bi*ch up" by prodigy was yelling "take my picture" and i always wondered why he was so angry about that.

My best friend used to be convinced that the song "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" was actually "I Wish I Was A Prawn Cracker"

In "YMCA" my friend used to believe that the line "Young man!" was actually "Gonads!". Her brother never bothered to correct her...

While singing Christmas carols as a child, I was confused by "Angels We Have Heard on High." Instead of "in excelsis Deo," I thought it was "in Aunt Chelsea's stable."

I used to believe that in the Hot Chocolate song "You Sexy Thing", the lead singer was singing "I believe in wackos" instead of "I believe in miracles".

In the Band Aid song I always thought that it went 'Beaver, woah, do they know it's christmas...' not 'feed the world, do they know it's christmas'.

When I was younger & listening to Madonna's 'Material Girl' on the radio, my little sister decided one day to sing along. Of course it wasn't till after the song ended that I realized what she was saying: "Cuz I'm li-ving, in a Cheerio World, and I'm a Cheerio girl!" --Today we still laugh our butts off about it as adults!

My brother believed that Michael Jackson's song 'Billy Jean' contained the words, 'Don't go around breaking young girls' arms'!! (It was supposed to be 'hearts'!)

For the longest time I thought that in Bruce Springsteen's song, "I'm on fire', where he says "Ooooh....I'm on fire", I was sure he was saying "Ooooh....I might fart".

Oh Irah-ah-ahn ... Iran's so far away ...
Yah you know that song by the Flock of Seagulls? Eheh, yah. Being the geographically smart kid that I have always been, I figured that was what it said. Jeez I'm stupid sometimes.

I used to sing at the top of my voice "OLD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"

Heh heh, "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson:

Billy Jean is not my mother!
Just a girl who says that,
"I am your mom",
But the chair is not my son!

Nobody can tell me different, because that's how it goes. Seriously. I know. I think.
