music: misheard lyrics

on the song Hot Patootie by Meatloaf from the rocky horror picture show where he sings
'id taste her baby pink lipstick' i always thought he was saying
'my taste a baby uptumstick'
i still wonder what a uptumstick is and why a baby would have one
i always thought it was a huge weapon so why was he licking it!?!

A former girlfriend used to believe the lyrics to "Big Old Jet Airliner" were "Figaro gave me a lighter" and my younger sister believed the lyrics to Eric Clapton's song "Alibis" were "I love flies."

there was this song by Bob Dylan my mom played a lot... it went "One more cup of coffee for the road" but I always thought it was "one more cup of coffee for our dog"

Bryan Adams - "Summer of 69"

Instead of "yeah, I'd always wanna be there"

We thought it was "yeah those worn out beach chairs".

Made sense though, right?

A mate thought the line in the RHCP song was "Fly away on my cell phone" when in actual fact, the lyric is "Fly away on my zephyr".

Until I was around 14 or 15 years old, I was convinced that the song, "I miss the rain down in Africa" actually said, "I missed the train down to Africa." It wasn't until I put two and two together that it made sense!

The song "Reverend Blue Jeans" turned out to be "Forever in Blue Jeans." Who would have believed that?

My sister, at age 7, used to think the lyrics to the song "Born Free" went like this: Born free, as free as a Win-dow.

I thought the Franz Ferdinand song went,
"I'm just a cross-eye without you" and I thought wow, that love is so deep, how touching.
Correct lyrics:
"I'm just a crosshair away from you"

I don't know quite where I got it, but, in the song "All For You" by Sister Hazel, I hear, "Toucan Sam, it's all for you." Follow your nose, kids, follow your nose.

I used to think the song, "Pass the doochie on the left-hand side" was "Pass the goat cheese on the left hand-side." On my 27th birthday, my friends made me a dinner that included goat cheese and crackers. I started singing my version of the song and they all busted up

I used to think that the beach boys song "Barbara Ann" was "Bob Bob Baran" and that they were talking about a guy in the song, which made perfect sense to me because for the longest time I thought that the Beach Boys were girls (becuase of their voices). I didn't find out it was Barbara Ann until one day I asked my mom when I was about 12 why a guy named Bob, Bob Baran would "lick someones hand" (I thought it was "...he licked my ha-a-and..") and she cleared me up....

I used to think Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine said "Lights up, we're on the radio", so when i heard it on the radio at night when i was trying to go to sleep, i would always get up and turn on the light. It got me in trouble because sometimes it kept me up and i fell asleep in class. Also, I told my dad that he was going to get arrested if he didnt turn on the headlights on when it played, the cops would come and arrest him... I was a dumb kid.

My mum thought the song "The drugs don't work" by the verve was "The trucks don't work"

and "return of the mac" she thought was "please turn out the light"

i used to thnk the lyrics to the winnie th pooh song was "tubby little tummy all stuffed with farts" when it is really stuffed with "fluff"

In Beyonce's song 'Crazy in Love', I always thought she said 'Daisy right now'.
