misheard lyrics

My name is Martin. When me and my brother heard Year 3000 by Busted, one of the members, James had sang "went out to the back yard to find out if it was one of those rowdy boys". My brother heard it as "went out to the back yard to find out if it was one of those Martin boys" and thought i was being referred to.

There is a song that goes "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a parking lot". When I heard it, I misheard it al "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a f***ing lot. I asked my dad how they could play such a vulgar song on the radio and in malls, unbleeped. He just looked at me funny. Now I know why!!

I used to think Cher's song "Half- Breed" really was saying "Heffrey!" I thought that was a new name, sort of like a variation on Jeffrey, that Cher was making up.

Kat started a new naming craze

In the Captain and Tennille song "Love Will keep Us Together" I heard:

When those girls start hanging around talking me down
Hear with your heart and your long hair astounding....

instead of : Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound

and

Young and beautiful
Someday your look so evolved

rather than:
Young and beautiful
Someday your looks will be gone

I used to hear in Warrant's song "Bed of Roses"; where it goes"on the bed of roses, not beneath some motel light..." - "on the bed of roses, nothing seems to multiply..." LOL, I have no idea, WHAT should multiply there...:)

I also misheard ABBA's Dancing Queen... where it goes "dig in the dancing queen", I heard "chicken, the dancing queen.." the fun thing is, My sister said me that, laughing at me (I was a huge ABBA fan back then), like"what stupid kind of song you listen to, it's about a chicken!" I was very angry at her, but I was kinda ashamed for my favorite band, 'cause I thought my sister was right.... Well, it still sounds like "chicken", what can I do:D

I always thought that in Billy Joel's "River of Dreams" ( In the middle of the night(middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep(i go walking in my sleep)
From the mountains of faith(moutains of faith)
To the river so deep)(river so deep)
That the line "to the river so deep" was actually "to the dinosaur feet"

My best friends little sister who run through the house singing all the time. She thought that the Beach Boys song was sung "Help Me Roger" and any time she needed anything from us she would run around singing it.

When I was a small child and heard the commodores sing, "She's a brick house", I thought they were singing, "She's a brick....OW!" That never made a bit of sense to me

Good day mates, I'm referring to the Aussie band Crowded House's biggest single; "Don't Dream Its Over". Their chorus goes like this:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

But as I child, I thought the chorus read like this:
Paper, paper
I'm three years old, heh
Paper, paper
When the word comes in
Acorn, acorn
It's a world between us
You'll know they won't win

i've been a Fall Out Boy fan for a couple of years now. which is why i was kind of surprised when i first heard Sugar We're Going Down. i could have sworn it said "take aim at my shelf, take back what you shed." and of course, the ever-popular "we're going down town in a luleelarah. and sugah, we're going down singing. i'll be your number bun with a bullet. a lonely dark cop that's cocking and pulling."
i was wondering why Peter Wentz had changed his writing style so much...

I used to think that "Dancing queen" by the BeeGees went like this:
Dancing Bean, fell the touch of my tangerine!

oops.

Okay..when I was little..I thought that that song, oh I dont even know what it is called..Something about I Got the party!...Well I thought that it said- I Got the parlor!....&& Then in the Jefferson themesong where it says "..to the deluxe apartment, in the sky.." I Thought it was "..He loves Carpotza in the Dine!.."..lol yeah I dont know what was wrong with me, but I certanily thought it was right!.

Confused..

my mom has this superchic{k} cd that she really likes if shes in the rite mood and she and my sister would sing along to this song together (it was called super trooper) and for a really really long time i thought that the lyrics were

"you were meant to live like Kiman Tay,
charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"

wheras the real lyrics are

"You were meant to live large,
come on take charge,
lets go light the world up,
lets not wait until the end,
to be the things we wish we'd been"
i seriously thought that Kiman Tay was some really famous person that i'd never heard of before but u should want to be like them. i was 14 too. oops.

You know from the Eurythmics 1986 hit 'Thorn in my side', well I always thought the first line was 'Gone from my sights'.

the first time i listened to The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" , i though they said "open up my biggest eye" instead of "open up my eager eyes" O_o i thought they talk about a transexual or something!!!

my dad told me that when he was a kid a song came out that went ' Denise , Denise', Denise , Denise.
He used to think it was ' beneath the knees , beneath the knees ' . He used to wonder how you could just love a woman beneath the knees.
