Another misheard lyric: I was sure the Beach Boys were singing "Help Me Rhonda, yeah...get her outta my car", and I imagined that there was a girl who was sick or drunk in his car.

"Get her outta my heart" is correct, but less fun.

Another misheard lyric: The Beatles "Twist and Shout" - I thought they were singing "Winston Chow", and that it had something to do with former prime minister Winston Churchill.
And I thought that in England they had "Eight Days A Week".

I thought "O canada" was sung:
O Canada
Our home and naked land,
True Pastry love
in all our suns command
with gorey hearts
we see thee rise
The true north strong and freeze
your far and wide,
oh canada
we stand on cars and pee!
Oh canada we stand on cars and pee!

and thats how i sung it untill grade seven..thats what i thought it was, i'm in grade eight now.

In Nirvana's song "Dumb" I used to think the lyric "I think I'm dumb" was "Agatha don't." And for years I wondered, what was Agatha doing that was making Kurt Cobain so miserable?

I was horrified when i had my son mumbling along to Skater Boi, in stead of 'he was a skater boi, she said see ya later boi' he was singin 'he was a raper boi, she said rape ya later boi' how embarresed i must have been! Where did a 4 yr old get that from???

When i was about 9, i used to love the song "Pure and Simple" and i was always dancing around the house singing it. And one day my brother goes to me "what are you saying?" and i go "Coz your my Sample! I'll be there for you, Your my Sample gona be there!"

I was always very musical as a kid.

When I heard the song "Easter Parade",
I always thought the lyric was....

"....and you'll thik that you're on the
ROAD TO GRAV- YURE..."

Wherever that was.... like on
THE ROAD TO MORROCCO
THE ROAD TO UTOPIA
THE ROAD TO GRAV-YURE

(instead of rotogravure- whatever that means)

About every month since 1978 my Dad will utter at some stage while going about his daily business the opening line of Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache" as "It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg". We have even invented the French version of the song: "C'est un oeuf dur, rien qu'un oeuf dur..."

The first time I heard "Nice Girls" by Melissa Manchester, it sounded very clearly like she was singing:

Nice girls (nice girls),
They all gotta potty.
Nice girls (nice girls),
They doo-doo.

The real lyrics (which I was able to look up on a website) are:

Nice girls (nice girls),
Think alot about it.
Nice girls (nice girls),
They do it too.

How I wish I could have misheard it that way much earlier, as a small child. For my sister once told me that having to "doo-doo" is a result of having been naughty, and if you were never naughty, you'd never have to do that.

I used to believe that the song my bonnie lies over the ocean was my body lies over the ocean.

Tashauna

I cant remember which song it is, but their was a song by marilyn manson that sung:
'Prick your finger
It is done
The moon has eclipsed the sun.
The angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things'

I had a terrible mishearing of it though. my version was:
'Drink your finger it is done
The moon has eclipsed the sun
Eat your ass, spread its wings
The time has come for peanut things'

ADDER

I used to believe the song 'vdeo killed the radio star' was 'baby dont kill the radio star.' I was wondering why a young baby would want to kill.

ADDER

The song "Mayberry" by Rascall Flatts. I always thought it was "i've been sleepin..." instead of "I miss Mayberry..." How dumb can ya get?!

obvious blonde southern girl!

Up until about 2 weeks ago, I thought the line, "I got my first real six-string," (from Summer of '69), was "I got my first real sex dream!" I thought it was a bit risqué!

Irishgal!

I used to think in "All My Life" by K-Ci and Jo-Jo it said:

I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love
I'll tear a cherry 'cause

Instead of

I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love
I cherish every hug

I also used to think in the "Blue" song, you remember, that techno one? It said, "I'm blue and I believe I will die..." I'd hate hearing it, thinking, gosh how negative!
