Around Christmas time my parents used to play this kids' song that went "I'm gettin' nuttin' for christmas, Mommy and daddy are mad" Only I always thought they were saying "Mommy and daddy are men." This didn't even strike me as funny, growing up, as I was in the Castro district of San Francisco.

Country music by a 3 year old...The song "Prop Me Up Beside The Juke Box" For my 3 year old daughter it went something like this: "Pwop me up beside my juice box if I cry" We still sing it like that!

My daughter was 3 when Billy Ray Cirus had the number one hit "Achy Breaky Heart". She had a very hard time with her "r's", every "r" souded like a "w". Wehre we live they have a penny drive sponsored by a local country music station. We were at one of the penny drive locations and the DJ asked her to sing her favorite song...she did it like this"don't tell my hawt, my cwanky, cwanky hawt. You just need a rubberband..."

In the song "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan sings "I'm taking a ride with my best friend"... I thaught it was "I'm taking your wife, be my best friend"...

When I was very young my brother and I used to believe the song by Linda Ronstadt "It's so easy to fall in love" went: "It's so wee-wee to fall in love". We called it the "wee-wee" song and loved singing along with it as loudly as possible whenever it was on the radio. I think Mum and Dad must've thought it was pretty funny because they never corrected us.

The song Torn by Natalie Imbruglia goes "So I guess the fortune teller's right/Should have seen just what was there/ And not some holy light" My friend thinking it said "So I guess the fortune teller's right/Should have seen just what was there/ And not some horny light"

In the song "Naked" by the Spice Girls the lyrics read "Strip you down don't need to care, lights are low exposed and bare" but my friends thought for the longest time that it was "strip you down no need to care, just pull down your underwear"

when I was young the Eagles song "Lyin' Eyes" was very popular. After hearing it so many times on the radio I had to ask my mom,"What kind of eyes to lions have"?

That song with the chorus, "I got my mind set on you...". Well, when I was a kid it was used as a jingle for a potato chip commercial (Hostess?) and I thought it was "I got the munchies, oh yeah!" Made total sense to me as I sang along at the top of my lungs.

When I was growing up, my best friend was notorious for mixing up song lyrics. Her "alternate renditions" still crack me up! She believed that Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was Hit Me With Your Pants Down"! Pretty racey for a 9 year old... She also thought Barry Manilow's song, "Looks Like We Made It", was "Looks Like Tomatoes".

When I was about 7 and my sister was 4, she used to drive me up the wall by singing: "when you're in love with a beautiful womble" instead of "... ... beautiful woman". I can see how she made the error. Whenever I hear the song now, I always insert "womble" - it makes me chuckle...

Imagine her surprise and my absolute amusement when I heard my friend Linna singing, "Play that monkey music, white boy!" and I told her it was 'funky music'. What a hoot!! Can't hear that song today without seeing her snappin' her fingers and struttin' her stuff, singing those lyrics. A great memory for me!

I used to think that the line in the Bee Gee's song "be tender with my love, you know how easy it is to hurt me" was actually, "be tender with my bones, you know how easy it is to break me"

in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song 'Breaking the Girl', he sings, 'she meant you no harm'. I thought he said, 'she can't chew no more'. Poor girl.
