misheard lyrics

A friend used to think the lyrics to "Walk this Way" by the Beastie Boys was "Work and Slave" How fantastic is that, I still sing it like this today and chuckle.

I used the think that the song "Dude looks like a lady" was "Do that Lucky lady" until I looked at this site and realized I was wrong.

When I was in 7th or 8th grade, "Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins was a popular song on the radio. Near the end of the song there was a passage I had difficulty figuring out the lyrics too - eventually I decided they went like this:

You play your fiddle
Well I could get it in an hour
I'll play your fiddle
For an hour

It was a few years later that I discovered, while looking at the liner notes for the album it's on, how the lyrics actually went:

You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself
For wanting more

Practically the same, right? Right.

my mom used to think that the lyrics to Beyonce's song "Baby Boy" were Baby boy say amma ma when it was really Baby boy you stay on my mind. amma in our language is mom so she was like "baby boy say mom?" and would start laughing. we correct her but she still says amma ma

me and my friend were singing 'i believe in a thing called love' the other day....and instead of the lyrics *just listen to the rhythm of my heart* she sang * just suck into the rhythm of my car*....I'm not really sure where she got that one from, but since then its been her lyrics everytime!

my friend used to think that the song wherever whenever went like this:

"lucky for my mom ya shes a docter, lucky for my dad ya hes a nurse"

when it really goes:

Lucky you were born that far away so we could both make fun of distance.
Lucky that i love a foreign land for the lucky fact of your existance

darkness'song 'i believe in a thing called love' were:
i believe in a thing called love, just suck into the rhythm of my car instead of:

My cousin and I went to a aerobics class, and they played 'raise a little hell'. right then she told me that all her life she (until now) she thought that it was 'raise a little elf'. I couldn't finish the class I was laughing so hard.

I used to believe that in the song "The Boogie Man", boogie man was pronounced booger man. I used to picture a giant booger dancing down the street.

when i heard "livin lavida loca" i thought that it was "living to be thy loco" I found out that that wasn't what it was when i was in the car and my sister asked if i wanted to "live to be her loca" i said no

My mum used to think that the song "elevation" by U2 said, "Hell Damnation" and everytime she heard it on the radio she would say, "oo! this isnt a very nice song" hehe! when she found out the real words we teased her for having a mind full of rude words.

When I was really young my baby sitter loved TLC and Instead of Don't go chasing waterfalls (which i just learned were the lyrics a month ago and i am 11)I used to sing Dont go Jason Butterball

Until recently I thought the lyrics to Eiffel 65 song were "i will die in Aberdeen, I will die in aberdeen." I always wondered what this French band had to do with Scotland! Lyrics really are Im blue, da ba dee, da ba dye etc
