misheard lyrics

i used to think the hyena's line in the lion king song "Be Prepared" was 'make love to the king' (as oppose to long live to king) My mum tried to subtly suggest that this wasn't entirely correct, but i was utterly convinced and went on singing it at the top of my voice regardless - completely unaware of the implications!!

When I was young my parents were very keen on 70's and 80's rock and "Dire Straits" were one of their favourites. They would listen to "Money for Nothing" which has a lyric "get your money for nothing, and your chicks for free".
Now, I misheard that line and on a family day out in the car to said song, I came out with; "Daddy, if I grow up to be a rock star, will I get free chips?"

when watching Dirty Dancing I thugth the lyrics were: Hungry eyes. They got the flavour you cant disguise, ive got hungry eyes.

I always thought that the words to the song yellow taxi were "they paved paradise, and put up a fucking lot" I was really puzzled when I heard this on the radio and it wasn't censored, until I realized the actually words

when I was little, I thought that in TLC's song dont go chasing waterfalls, the line went "don't go Jason Waterfall".

When I was young I used to think the line 'She wrote upon it.' in Elvis's 'Return To Sender' was actually 'She rode a pony.' I still sing the wrong line to this day (although only with happy irony) because it sounds so much like it!!

My dad is a huge AC/DC fan, so I grew up listening to them...a lot. Now, Dirty Deeds is one his all time favorite songs, and I used to think that they said, "Dirty jeans and a thunder jeep," instead of, "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap." And I can still listen to that song and hear my version of it. Try it sometime. It's funny.

a lil boy told me the words to the Zephyer song by the Chilis was "fly away on my surf board"

when Rush, Rush by Paula Abdul came out, my aunt had just had her baby. So in the chorus, when Paula says, "Rush, rush" My aunt thinks she is saying, "push, push". To this day, she refuses to believe otherwise.

I used to believe that in David Bowie's Song "Changes", instead of "strange fascination", I thought it was "strange vaccinations"!!!

oops

That Madonna song 'Get Erotic' kinda came funny to my ears. To me, it sounded like 'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body'

there's a song "so happy together" that i used to hear on the radio. one line goes, "the only one for me is you, and you is me, so happy together". until i was at least 11 i thought the line was, "the only one for me is sue, and sue is me, so smack me with feathers." and i still sing this whenever it's on.

That song that goes "Please don't go. Don't go. I'm begging you to stay." when I was little I thought he was saying "Read the book. The book! I'm begging you to say."
