misheard lyrics

I believed that TLC's "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls" really was "Don't Go Jason Waterfalls". It could be a guy, right?

In the song "All These Things That Ive Done" by The Killers i thought the line was "my erection, well it comes and goes.."

its actually "my affection, well it comes and goes" (!)

I drove across europe with my best friend Jerker in a car listening to ZZ top sleeping bag and singing "Supersonic sleeping baaaaag!" instead of "Slip inside my sleeping bag". I still like my version better.

When I was little I thought that Kenny Rogers was saying,"You picked a fine to leave me Lucille. I've got four hundred children and the crops in the field." I figured he was right to be mad...she left him with a ton of kids! (It is actually, I've got four hungry children.)

Brittany

I used to believe that the lyric "here I am, stuck in the middle with you" was actually "here I am, stuck in the middle OF you" That conjured up an unusual and quite scary image of someone who had become stuck while having sex and couldn't get free.

once when i was little i herd the song that went "i'm coming up so you better get this f**king stared" and so on, and once i yelled from the basment to the 2nd floor to my little bro "I'M COMING UP SO YOU BETTER GET THIS F**KING STARTED", like normal, i got a meaning 4 the phrase

In some song by vengsboys I always thought it was: "we're going to eat pizza" not " we're going to ibiza" :-)
DUH!!!

There's a song that goes "for the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were only freshmen." I was so confused by this when I was little because I thought they were saying "I cannot believe we'd ever die, forty cents, we were only freshmen."

A friend of mine used to think that the Scribe song that is supposed to go "How many dudes you know flow like this? Not many, if any" was "How many dudes you know flow like this? How many, bout fity" (as in, slang of fifty!)

The song by Alanis Morissette, I don't remember the name, but the real line is "It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me you, you, you oughta know"
But I always thought she said "It's not fair to deny my of the 'cross-eyed' bear the you gave to me" So I pictured a cross-eyed teddy bear.

Kristen

jennifer lopez she sings 'my love don't cost a thing' although i heard....'my love don't come for free' i guess i completely missed the point of that song ey!

Whenever I the movie Titanic first came out, I pretty much fell in love with the song "My Heart Will Go On"...but instead of "Far across the distance, and spaces between us" I thought it said "Far across the distance and spaceships between us." It for some reason made sense at the time.

Stacey

i used to think the "Smack my Bitch Up" song by Prodigy was "Snap my picture"..like Snap my pic-cha!

Anon

my husband thought that the Simon and Garfunkel song Mrs Robinson was
"its a little secret mrs robinsons' a bear" instead of the
"its a little secret just the robinsons' affair."...
and used to joke around with people named robinson about their wives being bears!! they were like-- HUH??!!

Three Green Day lyrics still always stump me:

From Time of Your Life:
-I heard "time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go" as "tounge grabs you by the wrist..."
-I still here "hang it on the shelf in good health and good time" as "hang it on the shelf in good old-fingered time"

Finally, from Boulevard of Broken Dreams, I heard "sometimes I wish someone out there will find me" as "sometimes I wish a water bear will find me."

my cousins friend Alice used to sing very loudly and proudly Metallicas song Sad But True,only she was saying "sabature"

Amber

I thought that the song "Lyin Eyes" by The Eagles was really "lion eyes", and that it was about a person who was secretly a lion.

Molly

In the Gordon Lightfoot song Carefree Highway - I used to think it was "Every highway, let me slip away..." instead of "Carefree highway, let me slip away..."

Jeremy Ellis

When I was a teenager my friend's brothers-ages 8-9- thought that Eric Clapton's "Lay down Sally" was "Make a salad".it didn't matter that the next words were "and rest you in my arms" Still today when I hear the song I will sometimes hum to myself ".. make a salad" to see if I can * hear* what they heard.
