misheard lyrics

This is actually my friend's belief, not mine.
Okay, you know the song "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge? The part where they say "Want to vanish, inside your kiss"? Yeah, my friend, was completely convinced that they said "Want to varnish, insert your kiss." It took a lot of repetitions of the song and my insisting before she would finally concede that I was right not her. Oh and we're almost 17, and this was less than a year ago.

Up until about a year ago, I thought that in the George Michael song "Father Figure" he was saying "I'll be your bottom feeder". I thought it was a reference to a specific sex act common among gay males...

In the song "Simply Irresistible", the guy sings "She's all mine, there's no telling where we'll go" or something. I always thought he was saying "Geez oh man, there's no telling where we'll go". It made sense to me because he was like knocked off his feet by the girl.

In James Taylor's version of How Sweet It Is, I used to think he was singing - With sweet love and abortion, deeply touching my emotion.

Ever since I've been able to catch lyrics, basically my adult life, there were many songs...probably at least 50, that I thought I heard my name in the lyrics.

The song Betty Davis Eyes, actual words:

All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Misheard as:

All the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Betty Davis eyes.

Not just a I used to believe more of a I've always believed and at the age of 33 a mate has kindly told me the real words, thanks Jon I preferred my lyrics better

Giz - clean ya ears out

well up untill a day ago i thought the lyrics to razorlight 'before i fall to pieces were, 'dont wanna kidnap the truth and the ghost she ate' truth being the name of a ghost. it really is 'I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate'. you can see how i got it wrong right?

My friend throught that the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson said "Gay Love" and everytime he heard the chorus he would start singing "gay love, gay love"
Hilarious!

I used to love Brian Adams and when I was about 10 I would listen to the song "im going to Run to you" except I never saw the lyrics so I was always really embarrassed when I listened to it around my mum 'cause I thought he was singing "runter" and in my warped 10 year old mind I thought "runter "meant to have sex!Years later when I found out he was saying im going to run- to- you I was in stitches!

As children, my brother and I loved the song, "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. The line, "with two cats in the yard" was misinterpreted by us...we loudly sang, "with two cats in the ARMY!" every time the song was played. It never made sense to me why two cats would enlist in the army, or why the family the belonged to would ship them off to war.

till a few months ago i used to think that in the song "bandages" by hot hot heat, they were really singing "benadryl".
i still sorta think it does.

k.p.

I died laughing when my 9 year old niece sang Beyonce's "Irreplaceable":

"I could have a barbeque in a minute."

For years I thought the 10,000 Maniacs song "Because The Night," instead of saying,"The way I feel under your command," said, "The way I feel on the Autobahn." I thought it was a song about road trips.

Eileen

I thought the REM song Stand said "Stan's in the place where you live" I guess I thought it was about a stalker

Brittany

I thought in the song Ho Ho Ho It's magic said "Ho Ho Ho It's MY Dick, you know"

Hannah

i used to think the words to footloose (as i didnt actually know the title of the song and was about 8 years old) were nuttergutter cut loose for luce, kick up a sunday shoes, please, louise cut me up on my knees, jack,get back,come on before we crack, luce, for luce, everybody clap for luce..

bimwif

when i was younger i thought the words to "paint me a birmingham" by tracy lawrance
was paint me a bruning ham. and i did not understand why he wanted it or wanted to plan that ethier...

dakota-dosen't like burnt ham.

Up until today, I thought that one line to the From First To Last song 'Note To Self', went as follows:

'I wanted ... To be the breath of God ... Oh!'

The correct lyrics are:

'I wanted ... To be the breath of fresh ... Air.'

Honestly, I have no clue how I misheard THAT. o_o;
