misheard lyrics

the full house theme song:
what ever happen to the little billetite
milkman, paper boy, even tv
mister old vermillion friends
waiting just around the bend
everywhere u look
its so hard its so hard
i hear your hong kong too
lightness waiting to carry you home

i was reading a belief on this site about a choir song that goes "by the muddy muddy banks of the low road". up until i read it, i thought the song went "by the bonnie bonnie banks of lock lomond". no idea what the "bonnie banks" or "lock lomond" are...

i was driving with my sister (she was 17, i was 14) while listening to a christmas music station on the radio, and the song "little saint nick" came on. i started singing to the first verse, and so did she, but we sang different words. she was convinced that she was right, but i knew i was, as i had sung the song in choir. we looked up the lyrics online, and i had a good laugh as she told me what she thought everything was.

"there's a tale about christmas that you've all been told" in her mind was "there's a half a dozen reindeer living out in the cold." i explained to her that half a dozen reindeer was six, and santa had eight reindeer, plus rudoplh.

"christmas comes this time each year" was thought to be "christmas comes this tiny cheer." isn't christmas supposed to be a BIG cheer?

and finally, "run run reindeer" was "one red reindeer". i asked her which reindeer was red, and she said they were talking about rudoplh, with his red nose.

can you believe she was 17 at the time?

When I was about 8yrs. old, everytime I heard the Steve Miller band song "Big Ole Jet Airliner", I thought they were saying "Didn't go to jail at a line up".
I found out what the right words were one day when I heard the DJ say the name of the song.

When she was young, my aunt used to think that the Beatles song 'The girl with kaleidoscope eyes' went 'The girl with kaleidos goes by'. She must've thought that 'kaleidos' was some sort of ailment.

Until I was about 8 I thought the Christmas song that says "Gloria in excelsius day-o" [or however the crap you spell it xP] said "Oreo".

Didn't make sense to me at the time why in Christmas songs they'd be singing about Oreos, but I just assumed...

Well ya know that song by Brittany Spears, Oops I did it again?
Well the song goes like this:Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

I thought it said: Oops you think im a dove
gonna sing from my heart
my names not vincent

Too embaressed to tell

When ever I heard the song "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, I would sing along to it as "R-E-S-P-E-C-P" It was close, save for that last letter, but for the longest time I could not get the lyrics correct and everytime my mom and older sister would laugh at me for it.

When my dad was little he thought "I shot the Sherriff" was "I'm shockin' Sherry". To this day (I'm grown up now) if I am with him when that song comes on I will start singing "I'm shockin' Sherry" and we both get a good laugh

I believed for 2 years that the chorus of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters was "I love Vanessa, turn my world around!" Actually the real words are "I'm a different person, yeah, turned my world around". Sometimes the lyrics of dance tracks can be hard to understand. Too much bass beat!

wen i was bout 5 we used to sing this song at school assemblies .. i ALWAYS thought it was

" rock my sole in the person of the bakery?"
instead of
"rock my soul in the bosom of abraham"

i remember visions of a chef rocking someones shoe..

the even more embarrasing thing is that we had words projected up onto the wall...

In addition to believing that Elton John sang, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" instead of "Tiny dancer," I couldn't figure out if he was saying "Lay me down in sweet surender" or "Lay me down in sheets of linen." Whenever I sang it, I would switch it up. This website motivated me to find out which was right...the latter.

My brother once asked my why, in her song "Lucky," Britney Spears sings, "She fly, fly, flies in her lonely car." I just looked at him, burst into laugher, and shouted, "It's, 'cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart,' you idiot!"

In "Dammit" by Blink182, I thought that it was not "this is growing up", but "sis is growing up"!

I used to think that the songs "Have you Ever Seen the Rain" and "Who'll Stop the Rain" by Creedence Clearwater actually stated "have you ever seen Lorraine?" and "Who'll stop Lorraine?" I could never figure out why they'd write (not one, but TWO!) songs after some lady named Lorraine. Seemed kind of boring to me.

When i was about 4ish i thought the lyrics for "Funky town" (wah wah nee???) were.....fu**en town

You live WHERE?

When I was in an infant church school I used to think that the hymn that goes' I am the lord of the dance said he' was ' I am the lord of the dance settee.' The fact that it was completely illogical never crossed my mind.

Boy do I feel stoopid...
Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back...
Annoying as hell... yet somewhat catchy...

Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave.
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave.
It's just that no one makes me feel this way.

Go head be gone wit it...

I sang it something like this

Dirty babe...
You see these shackles baby I'm insane
I'll let you in me if I misbehave
I't just that Nor makes me feel this way...
Go head get down wit it.

I got visuals of a man being held in a cell with chains because he was crazy before letting someone in him. As far as the Nor part goes... don't know WHERE that came from...

i used to believe that twinkle twinkle little star went "tinkle tinkle little star what a wonder you far are" and was talking about a star weeing and being far away.

Until I was about 11 when we would watch baseball games or go to them I thought the line "and the home of the brave" was referring to the Braves (my favorite team) dugout...I didn't think it was fair to only sing praise of one team
