misheard lyrics

There was a girl that used to come over and play with me and my sister and we would listen to Blackstreet "No Diggity" all the time. She picked up on some of the lyrics and would sing "I like the way you work here, no diggity, I like the way you bag it up" Instead of "I like the way you work it, no diggity, I like the way you back it up"
It was the cutest thing.

My parents listened to country a lot and there was a song by Garth Brooks called "I'm Shameless" and I thought he was saying "I'm shavin"

Remember the song "Love stinks" By J. Geils... My cousin used to think it said Elastics..yeah yeah...Elastics...We used to laugh so hard, we never told her what it really said.

"Turn the light on
You potato!
Here we are now
You potato!"

And at the end:

"Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail
Bloody nail!"

Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"

Big Suburban

My friend's little sister thinks the lyrics to Hollaback Girl go, "A few times I been round that track so it stomps just to have feet like that"

I used to believe that the song by Fatboy Slim that goes "Right about now, funk soul brother, check it out now, the funk soul brother" went "Right about now, funk short rubber, check it out now, the funk short rubber". I loved that song in like third grade and would sing it on the way home from swimming lessons, but could never figure out why Mom would laugh at me...

My friend and I were singing our favorite song "You're So Vain" and when the line "You're where you should be all the time, and when you're not you're with someone like the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and" or something like that. My friend turned to me and my other friend and said, "See this is the part I don't get. What's a ploseman?" So then we contemplated and thought it must be postman. So we would always sing "wife of a postman, wife of a postman and..." until my friend's mom said it was close friend.LOL!

Zoey the ploseman

Even though the title is 'How Bizarre', I always thought he sang "help is on"...

Last month I heard the song "Living on a Prayer" (I'm 15), and I thought it was "Living on a Brayer," as in a donkey ('cause they bray). I was convinced it was about a guy riding cross-country on a donkey: "We're halfway there," meant they were near Oklahoma.

Donkey girl

remember the Queen song "I want to break free". For a long time I used to think it was "i cant seem to lidbidah lidbidah you" instead of "I cant seem to live without live without you". happens when english is not your first language

The line in Jamiroquai's 'Canned heat' that goes "I've got so much canned heat in my heels" used to sound to me like "I've got so much candy in my ears". It wasn't until a few years ago (when I was 15) that somebody pointed out this schoolboy error vwhen I was singing along to it. Well.... half right's not too bad....

OK, So in the song by Aaliyah called "Try again" the chorus goes "(and) If at first you dont succeed, Pick yourself up and try again..."
And I heard " Freshy dawn Sa See, pick yourself up and try again..." And I didnt know how freshy dawn sa see, which made absolutely no sense, had anything to do with picking yourself up and trying again. But, hey, I was young at the time...

I wondered WHY and HOW "76 Strong Bones Led The Big Parade" when I was a little girl (song was popular back then). It was much later when I realized it was Trombones!

When I was younger I use to love the song "Rock you like a hurricane."
I thought they sang: Rock you like a Burger King!

I use to sing it all of the time and my dad's like, Ash, that's not the way it goes!

in will smiths rendition of "just the two of us" there is a line that says 'throughout life people will make you mad' and she thought it was 'wild white people will make you mad' i laughed my a** of seeing as she was 22 at the time, then i listened to it again and truthfully it does sound veryu similar

I used to believe that "Judy in disguise" was Judy in the skys :)

In Eminem's song 'If I Had' he says "I'm tired of using plasic siverware". But I heard it was "I'm tired of using blastin' siverware" and I was thinking, 'if he hates siverware so bad, why do he continue to use it?'
