misheard lyrics

I used to think the song 'play that funky music' actually said 'play that f**kin' music, white boy!' and it confused the hell out of me, because i thought that you couldn't say 'f**k' o tv or radio. I thought that till i was like, 13 and heard my sister singing it the right way.

F**kin' music white gril

Backstreet Boys - I want it that way? I heard "I was born on a tidal wave

My friend used to think the song criticize said 'Don't criticize my eye brows'
She was really embarrassed when her mum told me this, I actually think her lyrics is better than the real song!!

There's a song by a band called No Doubt. The song is called Spiderwebs. In the song, I always thought she sang "i'm gonna scream my boobs off." In reality, she says "I'm gonna screen my phone calls." Took me til I was about 20 to realize what she was really saying.

After reading someone else's belief-for years I thought Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" was actually "Dead Devil with Freeze Eyes"

Er yeah

The Monkees song "Sometime in the morning": Real lyrics are "you need no longer wear a disguise", I thought it was "you need no underwear or disguise".

i believed that michelle gayle's sweetness song contained the lyrics shade in sheep shit!

when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D

In Hilary Duff's song, "With Love", I heard in the chorus: "You can even be tough, say you'll have a Zima." It's actually, "say enough is enough". But in my opinion having a boyfriend who drinks Zima is way worse than one who will tell you if you look fat in that.

In the Christina Aguilera song "Candyman", a guy in the beginning sings, "Tarzan and Jane were swinging on a vine, sipping on a bottle of vodka double wine". It's rather hard to understand, so I always sang it as, "da da da day, swinging on the side. Sitting, lala, your mom's a double wide."

In Justin Timberlake's song "Sexyback", Timbaland says, "Get your sexy on" repeatedly. I thought it was "Who's your sexy ho" and I wondered how that made it onto the radio.

My friend and I loved the song "Down on the Corner", we especially loved singing along with it. The problem was, we didn't know the lyrics. Until we looked the lyrics up online, we sang the lyrics, "Down on the corner, out in the street, with a busload full of cattle, and veniffo dadalie" for about three years.
People must have thought we were retarded.

In the song "Honest workers" I thought it was ""Day by day Baba Yaga feels she's coming free..."
Real lyrics: "Day by day, hour by hour, feels he's coming free..."
Creepy. ;)

I was just in a clothing store yesterday and they were playing music. I don't remember what songs were being played, but I misheard the lyrics and it took me a while to find out what they were really singing.

The first one had the lyrics "Always by my side". I misheard it as "Olives by my side"

The second song had the lyrics "Gonna blow your mind" but I misheard it as, "Donut girl, you're mine"

Mitsuki

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who heard, and I still say it sounds more like, "Down on the corner houdy in the street". As apposed to "out in the street." But here's a less well known song. I heard a local band playing Springstien's "Tenth avenue freeze out". I could sware it sounds more like "Dead devil in the freezer." I asked a band member if that was what it was. He cracked up.. But I found out I'm not aloan in hearing it. Makes more sense if you ask me.

Queen, "Headlong"'s lyrics say

"And you're rushing headlong"
but i heard them as
"Get your Russian hands off!!"

We in the UK had a singer years ago called James who sang a song called Sit Down. I thought the lyrics said: "Sit down if your pleased", it was actually "Sit down next to me."

I used to think these were the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland":

In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is charlie brown.
He'll say are you Mary we'll say no man,
but you can do the job when youre in town.

I used to picture Charlie brown dressed up like Mary in little house on the prarie. Hahah.

A Nieve Noelle

In "Proud Mary," I thought it was "pumped a lotta tank down in New Orleans" instead of "pumped a lotta pain."

David Noble

When I was young, I thought in Jimmy Hendrix's song "Purple Haze" he was saying "excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of kiss the sky. I then preceded to ask my mom if Jimmy Hendrix was gay
