top belief!
My boyfriend mis-heard the lyrics in the classic cold chisel song Cheap Wine, instead of " I've got my cheap wine and a three day growth" He would belt out " I've got my cheap wine and a female goat"
I thought that the lyrics to the Avril Lavgine song "Complicated" were "Never gonna find your bacon!" Instead of what it actually is, "never gonna find you fake it!"
I used to think that in the ashlee simpson song Boyfriend, they were saying " i dance to your boyfriend" when actually she was saying " i didn't steal your boyfriend" i wondered for ages.. why she would dance TO someones boyfriend
When I was around six, I thought that the opening lyrics to the song Will You Be There by Michael Jackson, which are "hold me like the river Jordon", were "hold me like a pickalick joe-me". I dont' have any idea how I got that, but I remember singing it too all of my parent's friends and wondering why they were laughing.
In the Supremes song, Love Child, I thought that the words "hold on just a little bit" instead said "Wait (why don't you put on a condom?) Seemed logical enough.
I used to believe the song "Hey Jude" by The Beatles was "Hate Jews" I thought they might be rascist for a few days. Then I read the title of the song.
I still hear Soundgarden's Outshined as "show me the Power Shower" instead of "show me the power, child"
I wondered why Cornell was asking for a Power Shower, he must of been really dirty!
I am from Germany and when I heard the Bee Gees song Staying Alive for the first time I thought they were singing about Ferries - I made out they were singing Stena Line
I used to think that the words to The Wombles theme tune went:
"Wombles of Wimbledon,
Common are we"
As in "We are common."
My mother and I misheard the lyrics to the chorus of Michael Jackson's Heal The World...I know the real words now, lol!
"I'm a girl
I'm a mentalcase
I sing like a woman and I've got a plastic face
I called my album Bad because I couldn't spell Pathetic
And my shoes that do the moonwalk are electric."
My ex boyfriends mum once asked me what a strombolees was, She had heard it in a song and thought it was some kind of italian musical instrument, and me being italian would know what it was. Turns out however that the line in the song was 'he's got his stong beliefs'
My friend was kinda confused by the lyrics to 'Whats my age again' by blink 182...We were listening to it and my friend said 'I'm surprised this song was allowed to be released' and I said 'Why?' and he said 'Well, its a bit racist'.......Turns out he thought it was called 'Wheres my Asian friend'....Fool.
This is more of a misREAD lyric, but recently we had to sing Bowie's Changes for school and we were given song words to it. When we were practising, the teacher was standing right next to our table when I misread the first line of the second verse and belted out to the rest of the class
"I watched the nipples change their size"
Instead of
"I watched the ripples change their size"
It was embarassing. Very embarassing.
You know how in Nightwish's song "Elvenpath" at the beginning it says "Accompanied only by the full moon and the howling of the night wolf, and the path beneath my feet. The elvenpath" ? Well, because of the accent the woman had I though she said "Accompanied only by the full moon and the howling of the night wolf, and the barf beneath my feet. The elephant barf" and I cracked up laughing thinking of a woman walking through a forest at night then suddenly walking into a puddle of elephant puke!
When I was waaay younger and un-interested in the beatles (quite the opposite of me today) I heard "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the radio. I thought that when George said "still my guitar gently weeps" he was saying "you steal my guitar, I gently weep.". For the longest time I believed that someone had stolen George Harrison's guitar, and I always asked my parents "where did George's guitar end up??". They didnt know what the hell I was talking about.
When I was younger I thought the lyrics to Billy Joel's Only the Good die young were "I'd rather laugh with the Singers than cry with the saints". My maiden name was Singer.
I used to think that the Huey Lewis and the News song "I Want a New Drug" went "I Want a New Truck".
When I heard the lyrics "four hungry children and a crop in the field," I heard instead "400 children and a crop in the field." My best friend, Kathy, had to correct me!
I thought the pop-song "Betty Davis Eyes" was Better days gone by.
I thought the song "Hooked on Fun" was saying "Hooked on Phonics"
My Husband thought that Kelly Clarkson's song, Breakaway went. "Dreaming of what could be. And if out in a Pappy." He never could figure out what a Pappy was. Then one day he asked me and I laughed really hard. They go "Dreamin' of what could be. And if I'd end up happy."
