misheard lyrics

i used to think the lyrics to aretha franklins Respect went "R-e-s-p-e-c-t take out the e-c-t" the real words are "r-e-s-p-e-c-t take care, TBC." Respect without the ect is resp, and i was going around like, "what's resp?" and i finally cleared that up by looking it up on google.

In the Song "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", I thought that they were saying "It took awhile to get me here
And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that goose s*** in your ear
Now let me blow ya mind"

But it was actually "don't fight that good s*** in your ear

In the song "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold, I used to think the lyrics were "caught here in a foreign place" instead of "caught here in a fiery blaze"

Whe my friend's daughter was 3 or 4 she used to think the Eminem song "Without Me" that starts "Two trailerpark girls go round the outside" actually went "Two trailerpark girls get brownie outside, brownie outside"...living in a trailer park, this was very exciting for her! haha!

My friend used to believe that the lyrics to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" were:
"Hold me closer Tony Danza"

I'm with stupid

I first heard the song Holiday by Green Day at Rock in the Park 2005. When they played it, they dedicated it to 'George W fucking Bush', therefore I thought the lyrics said 'One holy man' instead of 'on holiday'. LOL

In alien ant farms cover of smooth criminal, i use to think it went like "you could see she... was a nebo, then you ran into the bathroom, you were flushed down, your toilet."

instead of:
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

PS whats a nebo?

For the longest time i was sure that the Lyrics to the song Bad Moon On the Rise was"The Baboon on the Right"... I really did not know what the rest of the song had to do with a Baboon though

That great 80's classic by Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - until earlier this year (I'm now 26) I was convinced they were singing the first line of the chorus in French - "Por vous jude anglais". Funnily enough, for the most part they aren't even real French words so goodness knows what I though they were singing about.

when i was a kid, my grandma used to wash my hair for me and she used to sing "Today" to me. it so happened that the shampoo i was using then was "wella blassom", so for a long time, I thought my grandma was praising the shampoo since i mistook "Today, while the blossoms" as "today, wella blassom"

When I was about 7 or 8 I strongly believed that in Michael Jackson's “Beat It” when he says "Showin' how funky strong is your fight" that he was saying "fuck-y". I knew it was a bad word and was shocked that he would say such a thing. Well in second grade we had an assembly with a dance set to that song. I vehemently insisted to my friends that he was saying “fuck-y”. They promptly turned me into the teacher for swearing. Fearing repercussion from the teacher or my parents, I ran out of the room crying and was so embarrassed that I couldn't look anyone in the eye for the rest of the day.

Not my belief, but my sisters.
In the Bon Jovi song, when he sings, "Shot by the heart and you're to blame, you gave love a bad name."
She thought he sang, "Shot by the heart, and you're too lame, you gave love a bad name."
What a dummy!

I used to think the words of Musical Youth's song "Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side" were "Arzy dodgy on the left-hand side".

In the chorus of Greenday's "Holiday," the lyrics go "I beg to dream and differ." When I first heard it, I thought it was "I beg to Truman."

I thought "why are they talking about dead presidents?"

I though the lyrics to Paul Simon's Call Me Al went:
I can call you baby,
Ready when you call me
You can call me out.
In stead of:
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
It seemed to make sense at the time!

my mom used to belive that the lyrics to 'i belive in miricles" was i belive in milk calls. maybe thats why she didnt like the song!

ABBA'S SONG: SUPER TROOPER

" I WAS SICK & TIRED OF EVERYTHING, WHEN I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT FROM TESCO'S"

Don't know where she called from but it was definately not TESCOs.

I used to think the words of the Bee Gees' song "How deep is your love" were "If you come to me I'll suffer-ee" (which doesn't make sense, but I also used to think that to suffer meant to feel happy - the opposite of what it actually means!). I now know that it reads "And you come to me on a summer breeze".

I also thought the line "breaking us down" sounded like "breaking the spell". Because in the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the Prince "breaks the spell" by kissing her, my Mum used to tell me to "break the spell" by giving my gran a kiss, so that was what I thought it meant.

until recently my other half strongly believed that the well known song"shes got Betty Davis eyes" was "shes got better days alive"
