misheard lyrics

All growing up my little sister thought the sheryl crow sone "all I wanna do" went a litttle like this..."all I wanna do is get hooked on phonics"
To this day I still sing it that way since i'd hear id so much. Also she sang that song "and if you" by spin doctors was called "ri-nif-you" but the worse one was me...for years I thought the ac/dc song "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" was "dirty deeds and the dungarees" My mother to thid day harasses me. Guess I should have caught on sooner

Funeral for a Friend - Waking Up

I could swear these were the lyrics:

I'm lying in the truth
I'm covered in blue liquid
A passion for our shoes

But when I looked it up:

Is a lie just the truth
Uncovered and relinquished
A passion for all young fools

Hmmm... I prefer my version :)

In the '80s song by Til Tuesday called "Voices Carry," for years I thought the line was, "O-oh shush, even downtown, voices carry..."

I thought the singer was talking about being scolded for not being discrete when she was carrying on downtown.

Georgina funnily enough

I used to think the song, "He's A Jolly Good Fellow" was, "He's a Jolly Good Mellow."

I originally thought the lyrics of "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed were "You're going to reap, just watch yourself!" and it was meant as a sort of thread, like Watch Your Back!!

It was after a few years I realised that it's actually "You're going to reap just what you sow" which makes more sense but isn't as funny.

i thought that green days 'holiday' went

i beg to Truman differ from the Holorise
this is the timing of the rest of our lives
on holiday

(actual lyrics)
i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday

but that billie guy is reali hard to understand!!

blah blah blah

I thought in the song Two More Years by Bloc Party They were singing Doom on You. Which is a friend of mine's favourite expression.
I felt a bit silly when I realised.

I woke up this morning, and the radio started playing "Bad" by Michael Jackson. I suddenly realized what the first two lines were:
"Your butt is mine.
You're 8 years, right?"

billy joels "for the longest time" song.as a child till i was about maybe 10 years old, i thought the lyrics where "father long-legs time". i used to always play with those father-long-leg spiders(those orange dots with legs)lol.

Instead of Madonnas 'Like a virgin' I used to sing 'Like a gerbil'

Stupid Child

I was in the car with my parents when I first heard Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" Maybe the speakers weren't up to par, but I swore he was saying, "Tungla, the bungle whale"

One day, many weeks after that I mentioned it to my mother and asked about that whale named Tungla. It has been a family joke for years.

Easily Amused

I thought for years that the line "four calling birds" in The Twelve Days of Christmas was really "four collie birds." I used to picture a bunch of little winged collie dogs flying around.

When I was little my mom had a Lion King soundtrack tape that we used to play in the car. I loved that tape and sung it at the top of my lungs! In the song HAKUNA MATATA it says "It's our problem-free philosophy!" and I would belt at the top of my lungs "It's our problem-free: with lotsa peas!". My mom always got a kick outta it.

K8E

Well Actually this is my little niece's belief... when she was 3 and heard Anastasia's Iv'e payed my dues...she sang... I payed my juice!!!

Fairy

I used to think in that one song "he's a jolly good fellow" then it said "he's a johnny good fellow". I always wondered who johnny was and why they sang about him when the song was in honer of someone else.

Lisa

when i first heard the new song from the black eyed peas 'don't lie' i thought it was 'no no no no baby no no no no don't die... instead of 'no no no no baby no no no no don't lie..!!!!

haych square

my mom loves Bette Midler and so she would always play her CD with the song "Chapel of Love" when i was younger. i thought for my entire childhood that "we're going to the chapel and we're gonna get married" was actually "we're going to the jack-o-lantern, gonna get married"
