misheard lyrics

I believed that the homecoming queen in 'Daydream Believer' was a queen, and she was coming home.

Teman

I used to think that the chorus of the theme song from "Flashdance" went:

"take your pants down, and make it happen."

when really it's: "take your passion..."

I always thought it was too dirty for a PG rated movie. :)

Patrick

My brother used to think "Kung-Fu Fighting" was actually "When It Comes To Fighting."

The Pacifist

I used to believe that the Macy Gray song, "I Try," went

"I blow bubbles when you are not near."

In reality, it goes

"My world crumbles when you are not near."

Mr. Bubbles

I used to belive that K D Lang was a bit weird (go figure). She had a whole song dedicated to the fact that she didn't like Bisto.

It was in fact "Constant Craving", not "Can't Stand Gravy"

Squatch

When I was little, I used to think the song "Damn, I wish i was your lover.." were actually the words "Damn, I wish I was your mother!!!" . I just figured the person singing it wanted to be a mum.

I used to think the line, "I'm not big on social graces," in "Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks was actually, "I'm not big on sausage gravy."

Which I thought was nutty because my dad made excellent sausage gravy and how could anyone not like sausage gravy?

In 1967, the Bobby Hebb song "Sunny" was on the radio all the time. ("Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face....") My twin sister and I were 8, and she was convinced that the song was about Jesus Christ (Sonny, not Sunny). She insisted that "Sonny One so true, I love you" was a prayer and asked the nuns if she could sing it in church.

Smarter Twin

I used to believe that the words to a church song "Gladly the cross I'd bear" was really about a bear named Gladly who was crosseyed.

Millie

That Aerosmith song with the lyrics "Dude looks like a lady", well I always thought it was "Do it like a lady"... which would be a better song -in my opinion

I used to think that Elton John's song Tiny Dancer was actually Tony Danza. It really changes the meaning of the song.

Craig

For a long time I thought that 'Milk is silly in Rock and Roll"

CB

I used to think that the lyrics "Hitch a ride" in the "Superman" song were "Hit yer eyes". Consequently, whenever it was played at home I used to run around the house punching myself in the face.

Nermal, England

I never knew the title to Prince's song "Raspberry Beret." So I used to believe the song went

she wore a red, spherical dress
the kind you find in a second hand store.

It was the eighties, and women used to wear lots of wierd designer dresses at the time. I figured they wore them once, threw them out, and this girl bought one that was round, like a fruit of the loom apple or something.

Christian

Never understood the song my niece sang.
Pupple duck street I'm in love and I wont tell you my name! this was in fact
Pappa don't preach by Madonna

Voidling

I thought the Pixies song Gigantic was about the Abominable Snowman. I thought she sang "He piled and piled and piled lips and funk" instead of Hey Paul, lets have a ball.....but I still think of that monster whenever I hear that song.

sjh

Believe it or not, the first version of the song "'Winter Wonderland" I ever heard was the parody version that goes, "Walkin' round in women's underwear." I believed for the longest time that the "Women's Underwear" version was the correct version and everyone who sang "Winter Wonderland" had just misheard the lyrics.

Sofia

I used to think that the lyrics to Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine" went:
"She's alright, she's alright, she's alright...okay."
I couldn't understand why Eric Clapton would write a song about a girl that he just thought was "alright" and "okay."
