misheard lyrics

I used to believe that the lyric "here I am, stuck in the middle with you" was actually "here I am, stuck in the middle OF you" That conjured up an unusual and quite scary image of someone who had become stuck while having sex and couldn't get free.

On the song Freestyler when it goes 'Yeah-straight from the top of my dome' I used to think it was 'Cheesestring at the top of my door' I wandered what it was on about!

In Louis' Armstrongs Version of "What A Wonderful World" It says:

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see ’em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

but i thought it said:

I see trees of green........ red noses too
I see ’em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of kites
Bright geussed days....the dogs say goodnight
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.


lol!

I thought that in the song "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani it said "i'm not in no Hall of Fat Girls" when it really says "i'm no hollaback girl". I figured out my mistake when I found out what the name of the song was and realized thats what it had been saying all along.

This is the belief of my friend and her sister when they were younger. They thought the The Cher song, Gypsies tramps and theives was, cheese cheese ham and peas!!! Hahahahah.

Everybody's familiar with the Lion King and The Lion King 2. In the lion king 2 there is a song called 'Inupendi' or something which has something to do with love (i forgot the meaning) when I was a kid I always thought they said, 'In your pantie'.

While in the Lion King (the first one) at some point where Rafiki chants some weird stuff I actually heard him say "Stuffed banana up his arse"

My husband thought the Pat Benetar song "Hell Is For Children" said "Be a good little boy and you'll get a new toy, now grab all your crap off the swing!" It really says "tell grandma you fell off the swing". I guess he thought the person in the song was really anal retentive about the cleanliness of the playground!

Seriously a friend of mine thought that in the song 'funky town' it said something like Abitsu Witsu, a funky town.....she thought it was a great place in Japan.

The lyrics to Natasha Bedingfield's song "Unwritten" are:
"Release your inhibitions."

I used to believe they were:
"Release your inner b*tch aaaaaand..."

You know that song by The Zombies that goes "It's the time for the season of loving?" Up until two days ago, I thought they were singing "it's the time for the season finale."

Needless to say, my dad had a good laugh when he corrected me.

I never knew the title to Prince's song "Raspberry Beret." So I used to believe the song went

she wore a red, spherical dress
the kind you find in a second hand store.

It was the eighties, and women used to wear lots of wierd designer dresses at the time. I figured they wore them once, threw them out, and this girl bought one that was round, like a fruit of the loom apple or something.

I used to think that Elton John's song Tiny Dancer was actually Tony Danza. It really changes the meaning of the song.

The Kim Carnes song called 'Bette Davis Eyes' well my dad used to sing "She's got Dickie Davis Eyes"

When we were teenagers, my sister and I heard the song on the radio, and she remarked how funny it was that we used to think it said "Goin' to the chapel and we're
gonna get mad at Harry." I replied, "Oh, yeah! Funny!"

I used to think in the songs Call n Return by Hellogoodbye in the chorus when it says "say that you're into me" it was saying "satan is your enemy" I was like "Well, DUH!!!"

I thought the line 'Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap" in the ACDC song was 'Dirty thieves and the thunder chief' (??)

Also, there is a BeeGees song, I think called 'More than a woman'. As a kid, I sang 'Four legged woman, four legged woman to me' (I still prefer my version.

Finally, an Australian band Cold Chisel had a song with the line 'Cheap wine and a three day growth'. We always sang it as 'Cheap wine and a female goat'.

till a few months ago i used to think that in the song "bandages" by hot hot heat, they were really singing "benadryl".
i still sorta think it does.

k.p.

The song Betty Davis Eyes, actual words:

All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Misheard as:

All the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Not just a I used to believe more of a I've always believed and at the age of 33 a mate has kindly told me the real words, thanks Jon I preferred my lyrics better

Giz - clean ya ears out

50 cent's In da Club instead of "go shawty its ya birthday"
i thought it was, and sang in public, "go charlotte its your birthday"

In the song Winter WonderLand I thought the part about building a snowman said "And he'll say are you married? We'll say 'no man, but you can do the job when you're in town'." I thought the woman singing the song really wanted to marry a snowman
