misheard lyrics

I used to believe that in the song "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John that instead of "A peace of mind my daddy never had" that he was saying "A piece of mama daddy never had"

me and my sister both liked the live aid song when it came out. We used to sing along, singing "Heave ho, woah. Do they know it's christmas time..."

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, Clean your ears this way!

Need I say more?

I used to believe that John Lennon's song went "Vincent Carmen's gonna get you..." instead of "Instant Karma"...I was always nervous around people called Vincent...

My sister came home one day from elementary school singing "i'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommey Pizza potty me"

At the end of the Beatles song Love Is All You Need, where they repeat the line, my brother used to sing along "Love Salami". I thought the song Paperback Writer sang "paid for my Chrysler"

I used to think Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" went: "the dogs are gathered in the classroom"; original: "the dark sarcasm in the classroom"

In Jessica's post earlier, she said she misheard a Depeche Mode lyric as "Jesus took a pee in the grass," but that it was actually "someone to be oppressed." The actual line is "someone to hear your prayers"--my friends and i used to argue about those lyrics ad nauseam!

My cousins used to sing "I'm shavin'" instead of "I'm shameless" when listening to Garth Brooks.

elton john released a song called 'cold cold heart' back in the 90's. I honestly thought he was singing 'co co heart' and singing about people who had chocolate hearts.

I used to think that neil diamond was singing about the reverend blue jeans

When my son was three he used to love The Brady Bunch. When it came on he used to sing along with the theme song:

Here's a story/Of an UGLY lady/Who was bringing up three very UGLY girls...

When I was five, thought paul McCartney was singing "stand on the rug" instead of "Band and the Run". I also though the girl "walked and talked like an ape now" (instead of ACE) on the Beach Boys song "Fun Fun Fun".

Holly

When I was young, I thought that the line "Under the pale moon light" from the song "Somewhere out there" (The rescuers) was "Under the pebble light"... Still sing it to this day!

My nephew liked the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Only in his mind, it was Obi la adobe Heart-whatever that means
:-) He got mad if we tried to tell him the real words.

I had a friend when i was younger that thought in that Kate Bush song, This Womans Work, that they were saying, "i know you have a lot of strange friends" instead of "i know you have a lot of strength left."

Go listen to the song "Every light in the house is on," by Trace Adkins, the country music singer,
I swear in the second verse he says,
"that's me waiting at home each night in Georgia."
Well my friends are always correcting me,
they said it's,
"that's me waiting at home each night to hold you."
Whatever! I like mine better.

I used to think that the hit song "Dude looks like a lady," by Aerosmith, actually said,
"Do the funky lady,"
