misheard lyrics

Maroon 5's She Will be Loved starts "Beauty queen of only 18 years" I thought it was "She's the queen of only 18 sheep!" Still think mine is better!

I used to think Estelles song Free started with the lyrics everybody puts your tits in the air. I only believed it was ''fists'' when my friend printed the lyrics off the net for me. Still think tits is better though

A mate of mine used to think that the Lyric from Jamiroquai's 'canned heat'
'ive got canned heat in my heels tonight baby'
was in fact:
'ive got candy in my ears tonight baby'
this was about 3 years agao and now he's a scientist. oh dear.

In the song "Ordinary" by Train. When they say: "I'm everything but ordinary...", I really thought they said: "I'm everything but old and hairy..."

Raja

I used to believe that in the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray,that when she sang 'And my heart crumbles when you are not near' she was actually singing 'And i wear goggles when you are not near'

Tom

I thought that the lyrics "When I called you last night from glasgow" were "When I called you last night from Tesco" (British supermarket).

To the artful dodger and craig david song, my mum swears the lyrics are re-ewind "i'm the basketball selector" instead of "when the crowd say bo- selecta!" She doesn't believe me when i correct her but she also can't explain exactly what a basketball selector does and why mr david's singing about them!

I used to think Independent Woman by Destiny's Child went,

"all the women, in their pinnies'

I was laughed at. a lot.

embo

Not mine, but a friend once asked me to put on the Beatles song, 'take the back right turn'.....(paperback writer.)

Supertramp 'Breakfast In America' includes the line 'take a jumbo 'cross the water'. I used to sing 'take a gumbo up the garden'

Anthony

When the Rolling Stones first came out with the song 'Angie' I thought they were singing 'I ain't dead, I ain't dead'. Just try it - you might think so too!

hard of hearing

In Otherside by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I could've sworn they sang "the ostrich is full and its spilling my guts."

The real line is "the ashtray is full and I'm spilling my guts". Oops.

JK

For years as a kid I thought the Pretenders 'Thin Line Bewteen Love and Hate' was actually a clever reference that only grown ups must be able to understand, on how rubbish the disintegration of a relationship is in the line, 'it's a bin liner between love & hate'.
At least I don't feel so stupid about my Neil Diamond 'Reverend Blue Jeans' mistake having seen it on this site now though...

Denise

My grandma used to think that "It's raining men" by the weather girls was "Israeli men"

Heh

Dan

I used to think the blur - parklife song contained the lyrics, 'we all go handy-pand' instead of 'hand in hand'

josie woodgate

Well I believed that the song 'Constant Craving' (by KD Lang, I think) was actually can't stand gravy!! And sang these words right up until my husband pointed the correct words out to me about 3 years ago!!

Blondee

Literally until a couple of weeks ago (and I'm in my 30's), I thought Streetlife by Randy Crawford was titled Street Light. I've always thought the lyrics were stupid....turns out that's me.

Sarah

I am really shocked, you know the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, the chorous isn't "free love", I'm 16 and until last week i had no idea. I still don't really believe it's not. Is it?
