misheard lyrics

In the song "Sugar, We're Going Down Swinging" by Fall Out Boy, I thought the lyrics went:
"Is this more than you want to forget?"
when they really go:
"Is this more than you bargained for yet?"
I didn't know until I had looked up the lyrics one day!

Another one..I was listening to the song "Niki FM" by Hawthorne Heights and I thought they said:
"Solitude, black and white"
when they were saying:
"The silence in black and white" Until I was singing the song and my friend pointed it out. Then she laughed at me, but told me that she thought the same thing at first!

Last one..In the HIM song "Join Me" I thought that he was saying:
"So won't you join me in there"
when the lyrics really went:
"So won't you join me in death"
It was kind of funny. I realised my mistake when I found out the full song title was Join Me
(In Death) and was pondering the lyrics. hehe.

Remember dinosaurs and pink penguins knock your socks off. Rawr. :]

In the song "All Downhill From Here" by New Found Glory they say:
"Reoccuring episodes with each and every kiss"
and I really thought they had said:
"Reacurring apathy with each and every kiss"

I kind of like my version better. :B

A few years ago I used to think that the Backstreet Boys song went "God needs to spend a little more time on you" instead of "God must have spent a little more time on you" and that it was a song about a dude breaking up with someone.

I used to believe that the lyrics to Sugar, We're Going Down, was.... Were goin' downtown in a merry-go-round! I was singing it at the top of my lungs at a school dance! I got home and looked up the lyrics online and I was soooooo embarrassed!!

Let's go to the Fair!

in the song "what a wonderful world" sung by Louise Armstrong, a line goes, the brightness of day and the dark sacred night, as a child i believed the line was the brightness of day and the dogs say goodnight!

In Daniel Powter's song Bad day I could've sworn he said "Sit your butt down ". but really he said 'take a walk down " or something like that. But I thought Daniel Powter was rude for someone who had a bad day to "sit their butt down "

I used to believe that the song "Believe" by Brooks and Dunn went like: I raise my hands by my head. When it really goes like: I raise by hands BOW my head.

I swear I kept hearing, 'Get hit with a chicken for loitering.' but it turns out to be a far more normal 'Ticket for Loitering.'

I prefer my version :)

There's a Beach Boys song that goes, "And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her Daddy takes the T-Bird away." I always used to think he was singing, "And she'll have bun, bun, bun till her Daddy tells Mr Peters." and had this mental picture of a little girl stealing buns from Mr Peters the baker.

Another Beach Boys one -- for the song Help Me Rhonda, my brother used to sing "Help me Barnaby, help help me Barnaby.... help me, Ron, oh yeah -- get him outta my car." And it's supposed to be "Help me Rhonda, help help me Rhonda.... help me Rhonda, yeah, get her out of my heart."

The REM song, Losing My Religion. I could have sworn Mike was singing "Let's pee in the corner. Let's pee in the spotlight. Losing my religion." It's really "That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight."

My best buddy and I were in Pizza Hut singing We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful by Morrissey. When we got to the end of the first verse my buddy sang, "Oh look at those clothes!! Now look at that place in SoHo!! Oh look at him now -- it's really laughable...." The real words are, "Oh look at those clothes!! Now look at that face, it's so old!! And such a video, well.... it's really laughable...." Also, the first time I heard that song, I could have sworn Morrissey was singing "Let's really laugh at them." instead of "It's really laughable."

I used to be in a drama group when I was small and at the beginning of every class we warmed up to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I could never, ever understand the words, so when my buddies used to sing it, I sang, "Billie Jean is, buh buh buh, she's just a girl who chins that I am the one, but the chin is not my son." or "Billie Jean is at my door....but the chair is not my son."

In the Smiths song A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours, I sang to a buddy of mine, "Your youth may be gone, but you're still a young man, so phone me, phone me.... so f**k me, f**k me, f**k me." and really it's just "phone me" five times.

A classic -- various mishearings of REM's The SideWinder Sleeps Tonight. First of all, I used to sing, "The sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in the car." when it's "The sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil." And then there's one of the most famous misheard lyrics ever, second only to excuse me while I kiss this guy. These are all the variations I have heard of this one lyric.
I heard "Call me Cheryl Baker."
My other half heard "Calling Jamaica."
My father heard "Calling Chuck the baker."
A buddy of mine heard "Calling eachother a w**ker."
A different buddy heard "Calling Cheryl Baker up."
My brother heard, "Only in Jamaica, mon."

That's all.

In the song Am I Wrong by Brand New I thought they said:
"And my night forget a spoon"
But actually they said:
"With a knife, fork and a spoon"
It makes more sense, but I don't get why they say that...

In "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe I thought they said:
"And she's full of rice, no"
But they actually say:
"And a shoe full of rice, no..."

Also in "Savin' me" by Nickelback I thought they said:
"'Cause I am Bass and I own my soul"
But they actually say:
"These iron bars can't hold my soul in"

The abba song, called "does your mother know" should be: "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, but does your mother know that you're out .... and l could chat with you baby flirt a little maybe".
When I was young, I used to think it was "Well I could dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, I'M DANCING WITH ANOTHER GIRAFFE .... and l could chat with you baby, EARN A LITTLE MINI, but does your mother know that your out".

In the Fall Out Boy song "Of all the Gin Joints in The World" I could have sworn the line
"And, oh, the way your make up stains my pillowcase"
was actually
"And, oh, the way you make me seize my pillowcase"
I have no idea why though. Maybe Patrick Stump is in to smothering people?
