misheard lyrics

I'm a child of the 80's/90's and loved Roxette. I knew all of the words - or so I thought - and would sing along all the time.
I recently found out that "I'm gonna get dressed for simon says" is really "I'm gonna get dressed for success" That makes more sense since the song is called Dressed for Success...

When I first heard "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, I totally misheard the lyrics. When he says, "'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams." I thought he was saying, "'cause I know what it means to walk alone, the lord is free to greive." Listen to it, you might hear it too! I was like, whaaa?

Can't spell grieve, but I tried

I used to believe that In Pink Floyd's The Wall the lyrics were, "The Dukes of Hazard in the classroom." The actual lyrics are "The doctors have us in the classroom."
Ok, can you tell I was born in '74?!

When my son was young, probably 5 (Now 25 years old) He was singing Bommmmmmmb the USA. Instead of Born in the USA by Bruce Sprinsteen.

I used to believe that the song Sugar by Trick Daddy which really went "She put that sugar on my tongue Shes gonna Gimme gimme some
She put it right there on my tongue...." til my friend pointed out to me that i was singing it wrong, this is how i sang it:"..sugar on hot sauce, shes caught up, gimme gimme some of that sugar right there on my sauce..." well, i turned red as hot sauce when i found out that thats not actually what theyre saying...

in the song "purple haze," i used to believe that instead of saying "'scuse me while i kiss the sky," that he was actually saying "'scuse me while i kiss this guy."

My daughter thought Paul McCartney was singing "Hey Dude" instead of "Hey Jude".

I am a very big 80's fan, so when the song "1985" came out by Bowling for Soup I was happy! BUT the part that goes "She was gonna shake her A** on the hood of whitesnake's car..." I totally misheard... I love whitesnake and now know that the real version is much better than "She was gonna shake her a** on the hood of my 6th car..."

I thought "Angel of the Moring", by Juice Newton said "just brush me teeth before you leave me"!!!

in the greenday song ' watsername' the song goes "thought i ran into u down on the street/then it turned out to only be a dream" i was convinced it said "then it turned out to only be a freak!"
i still think my version sounds better.

i used to think that the song 'cotton eyed joe' was called ' grandpa joe'!
after singing it i front of every1 at my auntys wedding, my sister kindly pointed out the real words. people still laugh at me whenever they hear that song!

My buddy used to think that when Steve Millers sang "Jungle Love" he was actually saying "Chug-a-lug"

when my little brother was about 8 he used to sing that song 'put another dime in the jutebox baby' except his verson was more like 'put another diamond in the juice box baby' actually i think he still says that....

I used to think that:

1) 'Louie Louie, oh no' was 'Do I? Do I? Oh no...'

and that:

2) 'On through the dead of night, with the four horsemen ride, or choose your fate and die' was 'On through the dead of night, we're the four horsemen right, so lose your faith and die!'

I used to believe in the Cysco song "Let me see your thong" he said let me see your thumb.

I used to believe, until I was in my late 30's that on the song "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones that the first line said "Tired of Living is easy to do" and FINALLY learned that it says "Childhood livng is easy to do". OBVIOUSLY the first version makes absolutely no sense. What a dope and how embarrasing this was while I was belting it out at concerts and in the car at the top of my lungs!!!!!!!!!!
