misheard lyrics

in the song "sugar" by system of a down:
i thought "the kombusha mushroom people sitting around all day" was "sitting on razor blades", and a friend of mine thought "yeah they call it insane" was "in the coloring sea"

Not mine but my daughters. When Will Smith released Wild,Wild West he does that bit where he says Wicky Wild Wild or something to that effect. My daughter used to get really upset and scream that LaLa wasn't wicked.
Teletubbies are a dangerous thing for young minds.

To Sammi, I also used to get the lyrics to 'Hey Dude' wrong. I used to think it said
"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I pee like a man".

It actually says

"Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
When I feel like a man"

Made more sense my way.

When I was about 14 or so, me and my mum were watching Annie and she started singing along with the song "It's A Hard Knock Life" complete with what she thought were the correct lyrics: "it's a hard knock life for us, we're from the or-phan-age!"

7 years on and I still remind her about it whenever the song comes on, or whenever anyone mentions anything to do with Annie in general.

My mum turned 50 last year.

I used to think Ashlee Simpson's song L.O.V.E. went 'ello, 'ello, 'ello can you hear me. I had know clue y she was singing about phones...

my friend used to thnk the lyrics to the corus of Blue (Da Be Dee) song by Eiffel 65 was "i'm blue, if i were green i would die, if i were green,i would die" only to find that the real lyrics were " im blue a da be dee a ba dee" it wasnt until we were singing to it together that i told her the words were just random word fragments!

This is the belief of my friend and her sister when they were younger. They thought the The Cher song, Gypsies tramps and theives was, cheese cheese ham and peas!!! Hahahahah.

My friend used to think where it says, "making spirits bright," in jingle bells was:
"making pirates rise."

and about three seconds ago, she thought it was, "making spirts rise," and i thought it was, "making spirits high,"
very much to our surprise, we were BOTH wrong!! hahaha

In the Gorrilaz song "Clint Eastwood", I thought he sang
"I'm happy,
Feelin' glad
I got sunshine
Inabye (::whatever that means::)
I got new slides
But not for long
The future is comin' on."

"When it actually goes like,
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad.
I got sunshine in a bag.
I'm useless, but not for long.
My future is comin' on."

Just discovered this two minutes ago...

Ok. When i was little, maybe 6 or 7 my friend thot "Starving for truth" from Hangin by a moment was "Starving for juice" lol we argued about that for a while.

When I was about 6 I used to believe that a line in Abba's 'Take A Chance On Me' was 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid I would love a bear'. Actually it is 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair'.

When I was in my early twenties (unfortunately, that was about 15 years ago), a friend of mine and I were huge fans of Jim Morrison and The Doors. One day as we were listening to the song "L.A. Woman", I sang along to the line that goes, "L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon". My friend was very surprised and told me that he had thought for the longest time that Jim was singing "idiot woman gonna have to do"! This was funny to me because 1) my friend was an even bigger fan than I was (and would seemingly have known this lyric, as it contains the song title; and 2) because Jim repeats that line several times in the song.

To 'I'm Adopted' - I thought the lyrics to 'Another One Bites The Dust' were actually 'another one buys the duster' - again, because of the 'dust-ah' emphasis!

I had this bizarre mental image to accompany it, too - all these men going down the street to a cornershop and buying those yellow dusters! Made sense to me!

Anon

In the song "Love Potion Number 9," I used to think the lyric about the "gypsy with the gold-capped tooth," was "the gypsy with the bold tatoo."

Still looking for the potion.... :-)

When I was Younger((ok, not that long ago! I'm 13)), In the song "Dude looks like a Lady" i thought instead of "Dude looks like a Lady" It was "Doin' it like a lady." Last year I found out from my friend how stupid I was!

Sammi

I thought the lyrics to 'You gotta be' would say 'You've got a budweiser' instead of 'you gotta be wiser' Hee hee.

Shay

Whenever I heard the song 'You gotta be' by Des'Ree, I thought she sang 'You've got a big bag, you've got a big boat, you've got a big Visa, you've got a big heart, you've a big tuft..' instead of 'You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser, you got a be hard you gotta be tough' I had always thought it was the song to the Visa credit card commercial!
