misheard lyrics

One week before christmas I asked my mom, where we could get a "Partriginipear" Tree since there was a song about it I thought it was a must have kind of tree, for the season to get started. Mom and I argued for what seemed to be about 20 minutes, where she clearly explained about a partridge bird , in a pear tree.

In the new rap hit "Soul Survivor" by Akon and Young Jeezy, when Akon sings, "'Cause I'm ryda, yeah." I thought he was saying, "Bustin' my pride-ah, yeeah." And I recently caught my brother singing, "'Cause I'm a prava, yeahh..."
:-P

But yes, I do love 60's rock music.

I used to think that the Eagle's song "Life in the Fast Lane" was actually "Pike in the Bass Lane."

There is this band called Ingram hill and on one of their songs they sing:

"On my way I'll take the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll take your dreams."

Because of their accent I thought They said:

"On my way I'll seek the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll seek your dreams."

SO EMBARRASING! Me and my Dad debated about it And we were both wrong!

Ya know the song "One man and his dog went to mow a meadow" ?
Well,I used the think that it meant that a man and his dog went to some place called 'mowamedow'
I have no idea why,I just did

In a song by Michael jackson he sings "your burdens I will bear" I thought he sung "your burgers are the best". I couldn't understand why he was talking about burgers!

I used to think that in 'From Me To You', by the Beatles, John and Paul sang:
"I've got arms that long to hold you, and keep you by my side"
"I've got lips that long to kiss you, and keep you satisfied. Wooo"
Which is fine, because they do. However I interpreted the first line as
"I have arms that are long enough to hold you..."
And then I accepted the following image:
"I've got lips that are long enough to kiss you..."
I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore

i thought that in the song "holly jolly christmas" by burl ives, the line "oh, ho, the mistletoe, hung where you can see." was really... "oh, ho, the mistletoe, hum where you can sing."
why would you hum where you could sing?

Back in highschool I remember a lot of students singing along to the song "Blue" By Eiffel 65. They always sang it "I'm blue if I'm green I will die" Rather than "I'm blue da ba dee da ba die"

the song party crowd by david lee murphy i used to think it said "and tonight im looking or a car to drive" (instead of Party crowd) and in one part he wakes up and is looking for his truck made sense to me ..


and the same singer david lee murphy has the song "dust on the bottle" i thought it was dust on the bible......he must pronoune his words funny to have two songs misherard lol

One time me and my mom were driving in the car and i was listening to "pawn shop" by sublime, i think. And she flipped out and turned it off because she thought it had said "down here at the porn shop" instead of "down here at the pawn shop"

haha porn shop

I used to think that the words to a country song, instead of being the correct version of "Boot, scoot, and boogey." was "boot scoot and booger."
I grossed my mom out and couldn't figure out why:)

this was my sister: in mr. brightside by the killers she thought the words were "chelsea, turning 16 tuesday" instead of "jealously, tuning saints into the sea" she thought the entire song was about this chelsea girl.

I used to think that the song "Just like white winged dove" by Stevie Nicks was "Just like the white window"

I used to the think the song ' damn, I wish I was your lover' by Sophie B Hawkins went: "Damn, I wanna shovel your love up"

The first time I heard Brian Setzer's song "Jump Jivin' ", I thought "What the hell's he doing singing about drunk driving?"

From time to time I find myself humming or singing a tune from the Roches I heard thirty years ago. I've searched high and low for this song only remembering the lyrics "If I take you to heaven, will you ever come down". I have searched the Roches discography, I've plugged lyric searches into search engines, I even asked various forums over years. But I've never found the song. I'd resigned myself to thinking the song was on some one-off collection I'd never find.

So today I popped in a Roches greatest hits collection I just purchased to hear a song I do know, and out comes THE tune I've been losing brain cells over for all these years. Except they're singing "If you go down to Hammond, will you ever come back".

I think the Roches are laughing at me right now.
