I used to think the part in Madonna's "music" that goes, "music makes the bourgeiouse and the rebel..." actually went "Music makes the bushwa plebes have the rhythm..yea" I didn't know what "plebo" meant back then but now i do, so that makes it alot more funny now..
lol.

I thought in drop it like it's hot it went like this:
When the pits in the crib mom
(drop it like its ho-ot

And all the baywatch get aachoo
Pork and like it's hot
Pork and like it's hot
Pork and like it's hot
And if Nivea get a attitude
Pop it like its ho-ot
pop it like its hot
pop it like its hot

and i'm pulling Sean Dunn
And I run the best sh*t
Cause i got it going on

When the babes try to get at you
DILIH
and if a n**** get a attitude
DILIH

In that Alanis Morrissette song that goes like "It's not fair.....to deny me...of the cross I bear that you gave to me, you you you oughta know!" Yeah its called u oughta know well anyway when I was five i heard: "It's not fair, to the night air, of the cross eyed bare that you're naked me, yoodle yoodle yoodle otter no!" I thought it was about a girl whose boyfriend made her stand outside in the cold one night holding an otter and yodeling.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I used to sing along to the James Blunt song "You're Beautiful" thinking that the lyrics, "My life is brilliant" were "My life is bread" and "She could see from my face that I was
flying high" were really "she could see in my face I was fucking high." Whoops!

In the Take that song (originally by the Beegees) 'How Deep Is Your Love' ..there the line "And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love"
i thought "and its me you need to show" was " and you really need to shutup!!!"

When I was young, I thought the line from the (U.S.) national anthem, "the dawn's early light," was actually "the dawnzerly light." I couldn't for the life of me figure out what dawnzerly meant.
When Micheal Jackson's song "Man in the mirror" was out, there is a part that goes, "As I turn up the collar on... my favorite winter coat, this thing is blowin' my mind!"
but "I" heard... As I burned up the flower board.. my favor went to cord!" (of course at the time on One Life to Live the big deal was Max and Tina or Cord and Tina... I thought Mike favored Cord! LOL
But even worse, I have this friend - Gloree, who thought that Micheal Jackson's Rock with you - was about Sylvester Stallones "Rocky II" so instead of singin, "I wanna rock with you... all night", she sang, "I wanna Rocky two... all night!"
SHE's stoop!
I could never understand why Billy Ocean felt he had to warn everyone about religious sex (not sects!) with his lyrics to "Love really hurts without you"
To this day I still hear "Baby, Love really hurts with a Jew!".

I used to think Kenny Rogers had 400 children and a crop in the field. Rather than 4 hungry children.
Okay up until like, 4 minutes ago, I thought the theme song to Full House went: "the milkman, the paper boy, even MTV." But apparently it really goes "the milkman, the paperboy, evenin' TV. Oopsie. my bad!

My parents used to watch a lot of All in the Family reruns when I was around 6-10 years old. This is how I heard the lyrics:
By the way glad miller played
Songs that made the hit parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew where you were then,
Gals were girls and men were men.
Here's to we could use a man like Herbert Hoov'r for our den.
Didn't need no world's best date.
Everybody pulled his weight.
G.R.O. la sal-man grate.
Those were the days.
I was willing enough to belive that Herbert Hoover had been a great conversationalist, and therefore someone you'd want around your den; and it seemed reasonable that an old fart like Archie might find the modern dating scene not to his liking.
But what was a "sal-man grate"? After much thought, I came to the uneasy conclusion that it was something you put over the ducts in your house to keep out the salamanders. Later, I toyed with the idea that "Salmangrade" was some small, obscure Eastern European state, but that wasn't quite satisfying either.
Later I found out the real lyrics:
By the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state.
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

when my brother was little, he used to watch the old fashioned peter pan that was basically recorded on a sound stage. there was a song that the pirates sang, and he always believed the lyrics were as follows:
"a yo ho ho a went to show
to mere the steak
so-
it's dangerous to eat"
and he would sing this over and over and over with a fake hook on his hand pretending he was captain hook. i can't believe i still remember the song.

In the Spice Girls song, "Merry Christmas," where it says, "but I think I'll skip this one this year," I thought it said, "But I think you'll touch my buns this year!" I knew what than meant, too. God, I was a perverted kid...

i used to believe that the lyrics to"change(in the house of flys) was" "al is in chains, who knew a fly", not, "i watched you changed into a fly" and also thought that Alice in Chains sang that beca"use of how close "al is in chains" sounds to "Alice in chains" when you say it fast.

I listened to Led Zeplin singing
"I want to be your back door man"
for many years before I realized he was singing about anal sex. I thought he meant sneaking in the back door of the house, like they were having an affair or something. Thanks Tim for clearing that one up for me.

one of my favorite aunts thought the lyrics to the song VOLARE was..."..oh lordy, oh oh.."

At the end of the song "another one bites the dust" there is a part where Freddie Mercury keeps repeating Another One bites the dust, then he says "I'm Adopted". I thought, How cool, so am I! Never understood what it had to do with a shootout though. I always suspected that wasn't what he was saying, but until now, I never knew he was actually saying "Bites the dust-ah" putting a little more emphasis on the end of the word.
I think it was a secret message to his birth parents though.
I'm adopted
I used to believe that during "The Star Spangled Banner"
that instead of 'by the dawn's early light' it would say,
'by the donnzerrli light' like it was a place or something!
