I thought the song "Little Deuce Coupe" was "Little Loose Tooth".

My husband used to believe that Macy Grey was singing "I blow bubbles when you are not here."

I used to think that the BeeGees song "staying alive" said "stay in the light"

My younger sister used to sing a line in Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville "stepped on a pop tart" rather than "stepped on a pop top."

I'm the song "santeria" by sublime in the part that says "I don't practice santeria"I used to think it said " I don't practice diarrhea"! For the longest time time I couldn't figure out why the singer would practice diarrhea! God was I stupid a few weeks ago........

but I DO practice diarrhea

I always thought that the song was "Better days of fire" until a cover version came out a couple of years ago, then I found out it was "Bette Davis Eyes"


If there could be better day to have a fire...

Golden Brown by The Stranglers

Lyrics are:
Lays me down with my mind she runs

Of course, I thought it was:
Lays me down with my Mancherons

Well, I thought it was some reference to some Red Indian tribe!

I thought the lyrics in Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" said:

"Your cat flap needs a new pen pal" instead of "You can't plant me in your penthouse"

I always thought that Randy Edelman's "Uptown Uptempo Woman" lyrics went:

"You're an up town up to going
- I'm a down town, down be gone

Of course it's actually
"You're an uptown uptempo woman, I'm a downtown downbeat guy"

one of Journey's songs starts off "i shoulda been gone." when i was about 14 i heard it for the first time and i swore he said "shut up and go home." it was catchy i liked it

e.m.

My favorite band is Panic! at the Disco, but when I first heard them, I couldn't understand most of their lyrics. For example, in Time to Dance, I thought the line
"Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams"
was
Buzomy boys, hiding in estrogen and learning other kids dreams."
I've always had trouble with lyrics.

My 3 year old daughter sings "Sailing, Sailing 10239" instead of Paul McCartney's holiday tune "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime". i never correct her, cuz it's so cute.

KT in KC

i used to think that in the song Almost by Sarah Harmer went, surround my dreams and its actaully arouse my dreams

in the song toxic by britney spears the real words are:

too high
can't come down
losing my head
spinning round and round
can you feel me now
with a taste of your lips im on a ride
you're toxic i'm slipping under

BUT I THOUGHT the words were

Come on
yank em down
we're on the ground
spining round and round
do you feel me now
with a taste of your lips im lost
youre on top and im the one under

I thought this was a very appropriate song considering britney is such a whore and all. I figured she was owning up to it. Then one day I read the lyrics online. I think my version is more suiting to her. But could anyone out there really understand what the hell she was saying in that song? It's nowhere near singing!

radio listener

I'm sure my mother was half horrified, half amused when she came upon her 8 year old daughter (me) dancing around and singing "Bootylicious" at the top of my lungs. With one minor change in lyrics:
"I don't think you're ready for the spaghetti, I don't think your ready for the spaghetti...."

My sister used to think that the Blues Travelers song "Run-around" started "Hooked by a reel at a fishing party" instead of "Once upon a midnight dreary"

Maddie

My parents used to listen to country music all of the time so I knew most songs that came onto the radio. I was convinced that the lyrics to David Lee Murphy's "Dust on the Bottle" said "don't let it fool ya, my wife's inside" instead of "don't let it fool ya, about what's inside"
