misheard lyrics

I thought that song " Play that funky music" was " Play that Fu**ing music". Weird!

Ooooh! they said the F word

I have two from the late 90s...

1. Three Lions - Jewels remain still gleaming instead of Jules Rimet still gleaming

2. Blue by Eiffel 65 Aberdeen I shall die Aberdeen I shall die

I always thought that this one song was called "yellow superstar" instead of "ghetto superstar". I really believed they were singing about a chinese superstar until my sister told me what it had to be .. they are still making fun of it!

I used to believe that the Offspring song "No Brakes" went "Tell Ballaws there is something singed always waiting for and waiting for the morning" instead of "Down below, there's a pile of sin, always waiting for and waiting for a warning."

Ballaws

i cant remember the name of the song but the actual lyrics are 'and watch the sun come up on the santa monica boulevard' (i think) and for years i thought it was 'and watch the sun come up in santa clauses couple of bars'

"No woman no cry" by Bob Marley. I always used to sing along to that song. My favourite line was - because of its appealing paradoxical poetry - "My fear ist my only courage, so I've got to push on through." A couple of days ago I had to learn it's "My feet are my only carriage". How boring!

I used to think in the song good riddance (time of your life) by greenday when they say "time grabs you by the wrist" i thought it was "tom grabs you by the wrist" and i thought they were talking about tom delonge from blink 182

I always thought that in the Queen song Bohiemian Rhapsody it sang: "Spare him his life from his warm sausages!" I had nightmares for years about aze-wielding oversized weiners.

When I was little and at Skateland (a place to rollerskate where they had music, and sometimes you could suggest songs) I heard this song called "poop that ass" so i really liked the beat so I suggested it. the Dj laughed at me, and clueless, i left to skate. In 6th grade I now know its Whoop there it is.

My brother used to think the song "Blue Velvet" was called "Ooh Melvin". I used to think my brother was an idiot.

When I was younger I always thought that Warren Zevon's song Werewolves of London was Where was the thunder.

I used to live in the Southern states and there was a soda named 'Mello Yello', when I heard Donovan's song "Mellow Yellow," I thought he was singing "They call me Mello Yello" and I stopped drinking Mello Yello forever.

Until I was about ten I had always sang the song "Waterfalls" by TLC as, "Go go Jason Waterfalls..." I always wondered who he was.

I also believed for a long time that the lyrics in the song "Hot in Here" by Nelly, "Dancin' in front of the mirror while you're on the phone sayin', 'girl, I think my butt's gettin big!'" was "'Girl, I think my butt can bend!'"

I'll never live those down.

My younger sister always sung the "I got my first real six-string"-part from Brian Adams' "Summer Of 69" wrong. Instead, she sung "I got my first real sex dream"

The Electric Six song, "Danger! High Voltage!" has a line that goes "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bell" but my friend (aged 19!!) thought it was "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bin"!! she thought it was like a bread bin, but especially for taco shells! bless her.

I used to think that in the Britney Spears song Everytime that when she said "i see your face, you're haunting me" that she was saying "i see your face, you're f***ing me"
