I have a friend who used to think the dixie land song from the 70's said "I wanna hear some fu@kin dixie land"
instead of "funkie dixie land" so he would sing it out loud when his mom was not around

My cheerleading music mix had a bunch of different songs and one of them was "You make a grown man cry" but all year i thought it was "you make a grown man proud" ... i was singing it one day and my coach and everyone laughed at me they thought it was really funny though and when we won we got "you make a grown man proud" put on our hoodies :)

I thought the lyrics "good girls don't cry" was "good girls don't die" i went around singing that everywheres until a friend called me crazy... whoops!

Oh used to think that song that went 'paved paradise, put up a parking lot', went 'crave paradise, to put up with f*ck in life'. I was apalled when I heard my mom singing it in the car.

Also, that Justin Timberlake songs (cry me a river) that goes 'The damage is done so I guess I'll be leaving', I thought it was, 'The jammy jee jones so I guess I'll be leaving'. Dunno where I got that from.

In the Sisters of Mercy song "Vision Thing" a part goes:

25 whores in the room next door,
25 whores and I neet more

which sounded like:

25 floors in the room next door
25 floors and ninteen more.

Big room indeed.

I know I am not the only one who used to sing John Mayer's 'your body is a wonderland' as ' alice in wonderland'

I used to believe, for an embarrassingly long time, that Eric Clapton was singing about a girl who didn't like Washington state. After all, in his own words:

"She don't like, she don't like, she don't like
Spokane!"

Now of course, I now know he's actually singing about drugs, but I think my version is far funnier. ;)

Elton John's Bennie and the Jets I thought it said "she's got electric boobs" but really it was an electric suit

on this endless ocean
finally lovers know no shame

I used to believe that the lyrics to the song "Dancing Queen" by Abba went, "You can dance, you can DIE having the time of your life." I was always confused about this until a few months ago when I asked my family while the song was playing on the radio. My family now has another reason to think I'm insane...

Until very recently I thought that the lyrics to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman were "city lights spread out before us, your arms and legs wrapped round my shoulders..." Instead of "your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulders"
Can't imagine how I thought someone could drive a fast car in that position....

You know that song by The Zombies that goes "It's the time for the season of loving?" Up until two days ago, I thought they were singing "it's the time for the season finale."

Needless to say, my dad had a good laugh when he corrected me.

Wasted Little DJs - The View

I heard:

'Italy, Italy's Majesty,
They're the cleverest blokes weekend'

Whereas it's really:

'Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.'

Mine makes way more sense...

I used to think TLCs song Unpretty was called 'Im pretty' and would sing all the 'unpretty' bits as ' damn Im pretty' proudly pointing at myself

And still on TLC, I always used to hear ' Dont go Jason Waterfalls pissing to the rivers like you used to.... instead of dont go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers like you used to!

mis heard lyrics to...
Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody Loves Me Better'

Captured I fell asleep
Thats the way it was
Happened so naturally
Didnt I know it's worse love
The next thing I felt was you
holding meat clothes
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

(Chorus: as normal..)
Aint nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Aint nobody
Loves me better than you.

(REAL LYRICS)...
Captured effortlessly
Thats the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go.
