misheard lyrics

Again my mum thought the song "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Vinton, was "She wore blue, Melvin." instead of the correct lyrics "She wore Blue Velvet " lol

"She's just a girl, with a big fat bum"

Billie-Jean lyrics "She's just a girl, who claims that I am the one


Once again, I can attribute this to my dear old Mum who honestly believed these lyrics were the real ones... we've had her hearing checked since the 80's...

The Kim Carnes song called 'Bette Davis Eyes' well my dad used to sing "She's got Dickie Davis Eyes"

Take That: Want you back.Want you back for good.

Instead someone told my Mum that these were the words.

Wash your back.
Wash your back for good.

I then picked up on them and was always going around singing it, and one day at school someone in my class corrected me. I was so embarrassed.

my little sister used to sing her version of Robbie Williams "Angels" but her bit was "And through it all she offers me protection, a little love and infection!" but it really goes "And through it all, she offers me protection, a lotta love and affection"This was actually another classic from my 5 year old sister, who was belting it out at the top of her voice. We just didn't have the heart to correct her!!

I thought that it was a song about Michael Jackson when I first heard it and I asked a friend if he had heard this song. He had me recite the lyrics. which I thought were

'Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove.

but the real words are....

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.


He laughed at me for days.

I used to think that Robert Palmer was singing "you might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love." instead of the real lyrics which are "...you might as well face it, you're addicted to love."

When my son ,Jay, was little, I would always sing the song "My Girl" to him, but I would change the lyrics to "I'll bet you'll say, what can make a Mama feel this way, My Jay, My Jay, My Jay, talkin' 'bout my Jay---------------------As we mostly listen to CHRISTian music, it was a long time until he actually heard the real song, when we were out one time. He was mad to find out that the song really wasn't about him.

All of my family and friends have always sung to the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray "I wear goggles when you are not here" when it actually says "My world crumbles when you are not near". We had no idea why she was wearing goggles but we say it anyway

My Brother thought that thelyrics to the Who song, Who are you, were "Blue Walrus: needless to say, I can no longer listen to the song without thinking of him singing the song!

I don't know what the real lyrics are or even what the title of the song is, but I do know that my misheard lyrics are probably not the right ones:

"Every morning there's an alligator hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed!"

Somebody get this freakin' alligator away from me!

In the Sound of Music song 'Favourite Things' in the line where it says "When the dog bites" i used to think it said "When the door bites" i never made sense to me but no one told me it was wrong until last year when i was singing it with my sister.

I thought the words to Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" were "Oh I, I pledge to say, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." Well, 18 years after the song was popular, I was singing it in the car and and my husband laughed at me and said the words are "I want a place to stay, get your booty on the floor tonight, make my day." I thought he was crazy, that didn't even make sense. I argued until we got to my sister's house where we looked it up on the internet. He was right.

In the song "Reeling In The Years by Steely Dan, I thought they were saying "If you're running out of peas/ you can have a bunch of mine." I seriously thought the song was about sharing vegetables!

In the The Academy Is... song, Neighbors, I thought the line was "Sit back and get my paddy wacked."
It's really "sit back and get my palette wet."

SANTI! tai LJer. =]

Until about a couple of years ago, I thought the line in the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" was "Cheer up sweet Bejean."

I similarly thought that "Proud Mary" included the lyrics "pumped a lot of tanks down in New Orleans."

When I was a kid, I thought that the line in the song, "You're the One That I Want," from Grease went as follows:

"You're the one that I want, John Travolta, woo, hoo, hoo..."

Growing up playing with a certain 70's death defying daredevil's array of merchandise including Stunt van , chopper and the famous crank wind up motorcycle toy, put a bit of an impression in my 6 year old mind when listening to the Who's lyrics "behind blue eyes" and the line " ...and if I swallow Evil Knievel(anything evil), put you fingers down my throat.."
