Insane Clown Posse has a song called "Assasins".
The chorus goes "Ya know who ya f***ing wit, w-w-w-w-w-wicked clowns!" I would always sing it like" Ya know who ya f****ing wit, b-b-b-b-b-b-break it down!"

Oh God, ICP disco!

My friend used to think that the song 'bootylicious' by destiny's child went :
"I don't think your ready for this jetty... coz my body's too boobylicious for you babe" instead of 'jelly' and 'booTylicious'.

The song "Hanging By a Moment" by Lifehouse the part that goes:
"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you"

I thouhgt it went:
"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've ever known
I'm standing here until you make me blue
Hanging by a moment here with you."

You know Green Day's lyrics to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"? They sing, "Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me."
My brother thought they sang "Sometimes, I wish a hungry bear would find me."

My best friends daughter Elizabeth was singing the song Afternoon Delight with us and instead of that she sang, "Afternoon tonight"
My son calls the washing maching the washing MaCLean.

Jamiroquai's song "canned heat" actually says "Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby" but me and my best mate used to sing "ive got candy in my heels tonight big ben" and we had awful dance moves to go along with it where we would point to the heels of our shoes...eeek

This is a true Mondegreen:

"When the jasmine sets afire, the faceless man's relieved."
Years later, I discovered that it was "When the jazz man testifies, the faithless man believes." It made a little more sense then.

I was sitting next to my nephew, who's 8, at dinner and I could hear him singing very quietly to himself. When I asked him what he was singing, he sang louder : the bee gone gone, the bee gone gone. I was totally bewildered until I caught on to the tune. It was sonny and cher, the beat goes on. He flatly refused to believe me when I told him he had the lyrics wrong :) It stuck in my head for days, the bee gone gone, the bee gone gone ... Uh oh.

Even as a kid I liked classical music, but was convinced that all operas were written in Spanish. Well, I knew they weren't in english, and what with Carmen's bullfighters, Barber of Seville, Don Giovanni, Don Carlos and others it seemed logical. I could never work out "Figaro" though - Figaro was Gepetto's cat in the Disney film "Pinocchio", and never sang a note in any language that I could remember.
At least I did better than the little lad who, when asked by his operatic parents what his favourite aria was answered, "The one about elephant's ears". This puzzled them for ages until they heard "La donna e mobile" from "Rigoletto", by a singer also with poor knowledge of italian - catch the last line -yep, easily taken for "elephant's ears"!

Up until I was about 12 or 13 I thought this was strange. Jimi Hendrix didn't seem to be gay to me but I thought well musicians could say anything they wanted. I just thought it was weird that he would say 'scuse me--while I kiss this guy' ??

When I was in grade 2 my french immersion class had to sing "o Canada" in french every morning. I was supposed to sing "Car ton bras sait porter l'épée...." ("because you know how to carry a sword") but i always said "Carton bas et rose, le poupée..." which really means "Low pink carton, the doll.." I never knew why a doll had helped in founding our country. I assumed that the first Canadian flag had been drawn on a big piece of pink carton. I only found out i had been saying it wrong in grade 7.

in the green day song 'holiday' then at one point it says something like "critisize your governments" but i used to think it said "critisize your girlfriend's mints"
lol.

i used to think in the lion king song hakuna matata they were saying:
"its our motto, see, we'll also be hakuna matata"

I used to think that in the song "Tiny Dancer," instead of saying "Hold me closer tiny dancer," they were actually saying "Hold me closer Tony Danza."

about a bad guy called dirty dees who got in trouble with god.

I used to think that "I'm blue da ba dee da ba di" was "I'm blue I will bleed I will die" I was a morbid child...

Remember Xanadu, that movie that came out in the 80's? In the song they go: "Xanadu, Xanadu, now we are here in Xanaduuuuu", at 8 I went with my teenage sister to the movies, thought they sang "Xanadu Xanadu, show me your ears".
