I used to think the Locomotion was the Lovely Motion when I was a child! Come on, come on, do the lovely motion with me!

In the song "hey ya" by Outkast i thought the lyrics "lend me some sugar, i am your neighbor" were "lend me some sugar, i am your savior!"

I always thought to myslef... c'mon, just give him the stupid sugar. After all he DID save you.

hand over the sugar

I could of swore the lyrics in the tragically hip song said Im anty excentric instead of ahead by a century lol

In the Dawn classic, 'Tie a yellow Ribbon round the old oak tree' I thought one of the line was 'The scarlet fleas look for me' couldn't for the life of me think what scarlet fleas had to with it!! Of course the real line is 'Bus driver, please look for me' I was very young at the time!

In the song "Time of my Life" from Dirty Dancing, the song says "so we take eachother's hand, cause we seem to understand the urgency".... and I thought for the longest time that they said "we seem to understand the earth and sea." I thought it might be some kind of earthy, new age, hippie thing about understand nature because they are inlove... or vice versa.. ok maybe I just don't know anything.

me and my friend always used to think that the song sunday morning after went "oh my god i woke up with the satan blues" instead of "oh my god i woke up with a snake tattoo"

i always thought the chorus in swing swing by the all-american rejects went "swing swing swing from the tabletops" but its really "swing swing swing from the tangles of..."

Up until they were at least five years old, my twin brothers used to sing the song "Down by the Bay" like this:

We were listening to the queen song 'Bohemia Rhapsody' when my partner in all honesty sang the words 'miss miller let me go, beheljibub has a cuboard put aside for me' when the real words are 'bismilla, let me go, beheljibub has a devil put aside for me' he told me that all these years since the song was released that he had thought that what he'd been singing were the right words, I nearly wet myself laughing, bless him.

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."

Bob

I used to believe the Hall & Oates song was "Your Kiss is on My List" but it was really "Your Kiss is on My Lips". My friend Lisa and I had a small 10 year old girl argument over that one.

I used to think the lyrics to the Abba song 'Super-trooper' were
"When I called you last night from Tesco"
instead of
"When I called you last night from Glasgow"

In the song greased lightening, i thought that they were saying "she's a real pudding wagon"... but i realized recently thats its actually "she's a real pussy wagon"... i was pretty far off.

If you've seen the movie Dumbo then you've probally heard the Casey jr. song ( Casey Jr is that circus train ) .
When I was little I thought the lyrics were these :

Casey Jr's coming down the track
Coming Down the track
With a smokeystack
Here the smoke ant coming round the view
Casey scared a thrill
Every Jack and Jill
Everytime is spotty heard the whistle sound
Everybody learns to safeistrack
Time for lemonade and cracker jack
Casey jr's back
Casey jr's back

The real lyrics are these :

Casey Jr's coming down the track
Coming down the track
With a smokeystack
Here him puffing coming round the hill
Casey's here to thrill
Every Jack and Jill
Everytime his funny little whistle sounds
Everybody hurries to the circus grounds
Time for lemonade and cracker jack
Casey Jr's back
Casey jr's back

When my brother was little he used to sing these lyrics to mariah careys fantasy:

Baby im so ichy poo
Darling, if you only knew

Real lyrics:
baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew

My mum always thought the lyrics to macy grays song was i try to say goodbye to my chook.

I read on here that someone misheard the lyrics to Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre... I always thought he was singing about a "Mullicking Tyre" I never thought to ask what "Mullicking" was, I guessed that they obviously made tyres, kinda like Michelin?

Rosey

I thought that the song Taste Of Ink by The Used was "Here I am, Its in my head" but it was really: "Here I am, it's in my hands."

My sister used to believe the chorus in the Bens Fold Five song 'Brick' was.... "I'm a freakin out, drivin slowly" instead of I'm a brick and im drowning slowly

Alicia

When I was little my sister was singing the Macy Gray song that goes "I try to say goodbye an i choke, i try to walk away and i stumble". But only since a year ago i had always sung,"I try to walk away and i flamboke!!!" Dont ask me why!?!?!
