misheard lyrics

I used to think the song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually about a guy named "Revend Blue Jeans!" Even though it didn't make much sense as a name, I couldn't imagine as a 2-3 yeard-old what the singer was really saying!

My 5 year old daughter, Traissa, was asking me to play the song "Fix the Cheese" from Rueben Studdard's new CD. The song is actually called "Fix it Jesus."

While in college a tori amous song came on the radio i couldnt figure out the words, a friend told me they were "got a big dick?" for months thats what i was singing until another friend pointed out that shes actually singing "got to be big" how mortifing is that? ;)

In the Song "In Your Eyes" I always used to believe that when Peter Gabriel sand "In your eyes, the lige the heat your eyes, I am complete" I thought that he said "in your eyes the light the heat your eyes, your smelly feet" and I was corrected about this 2 days ago...my 17th birthday

Well my Little cousin Connor was singing along to Blazin Squads "Crossroads" when I decided he perform infront of my Mum, well we couldnt stop laughing when Connor started singing
"eat me at the cross-bow..cross-bow" instead of
"meet me at the crossroads..crossroads"

My friend used to sing a song she loved when she was young. It really goes "I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman...". But she used to sing "I am strong! I am invisible! I am woman!" She thought that being invisible was one of the woman's powers... :)

I STILL think that the All-American Rejects' song goes "Swing swing swing from a tablesaw..." (Although after reading some of these I understand it's supposed to be ...from the TANGLES OF...) yeah...

you know the song 'i beleive in miracles' by hot chocolate? well my brother used to sing 'i beleive in bircones'...whats a bircone?! and you know the song 'whats my age again' by blink 182? well my mate sang 'wheres my agent friend'!!! and the song 'lifestyles of the rich and famous' by good charlotte? well for the line 'Well they've got mansions, Think we should rob them' i always sing 'well they could mention, then we could rob them' even though i now know the real lyrics!!

The line, "Every time you go away, you take a piece of me, with you." My friends and I used to think that it said, "you take a piece of meat with you." Thats romantic. Meat. We were 7, we didnt have a clue. It coulda been meat.

The words of the theme song of the Flintstones always eluded me. I thought they said,"Flintstones we're the Flintstones, we're the mon-historic family. That's right, out of Bedrock they're a place right out in this story. Then we'll see the family on the street then we will see Fred's transwell feet. Flintstones we're the flintstones etc. etc."
Don't ask me what 'transwell feet' are...many they "transport you well"?
Anyhoo...I've got the REAL words now...what a disappointment!

I used to sing a LOT of songs wrong: "Take your pants down and make it happen" instead of "take your passion" (Flashdance theme)
"Silence like a casserole" instead of "cancer grows" - makes more sense doesn't it? (Sound of Silence)
Also thanks to my dad who fanices himself a bit like Weird Al: "There's a bathroom on the right" (Bad Moon on the Rise)
"I fought your ma and your ma won" was a lot more believable to me than "I fought the law and the law won"

Nikki

The Killers 'Somebody told me'contains the line 'never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight'. My friend Liza decided she could never like a song with the word 'rumaroo' in it. She thought the lyric was 'Never thought I'd let a rumaroo in my moonlight' She's strange.

Not actually my belief, but when my daughter was younger, she thought that TLC's Waterfalls song said, "Don't go Jason Waterfalls".

my parents were always confused when as a little kid i always wanted to hear the beatles song "can't bonnie love". once i could read i figured out it was "can't buy me love", but it took me a while.

Jingle bells...

I used to believe until I was about 22 that in Jingle bells it was a "one horse soap and sleigh". My husband politely informed me it's "one horse OPEN sleigh..."
I never really thought about it but was so very embarrassed when he told me what it really was.
*duh* PFFFFTTTTTTTT!

I thought Garth Brooks sings "The stalls are clean the horse is dead" instead of "The stalls are clean the horses fed".

Isabel

i used to believe the song by daniel beddingfield wrap your words around me or whatever it is went "is it right to bring her solids in the morning" when it's acutally "is it right to bring her sonnets in the morning"

Bon Jovi's song 'Living on a prayer':
'Oh, we're halfway there, oh oh, living on a prayer'

I thought it was: 'Oh, we're halfway there, oh oh, living on bread' !!

I used to love the tv show with Rod Hull and Emu (and Grottbags!) and thought that the song 'Feed the World' song was in fact from the show and that the artists were actually all singing 'Emu's World!'
