i used to think that the song "i would do anything for love" the line in it that said "i would run right into hell and back" i thought it said "i would run right into helen-mac" and i would say "who is helen-mac and why did i run into her"
i used to think that " when marimaba rythums start to play" was "when my rainbow ribbons starts to play"
: )
When the song "He Loves U Not" by Dream came out, I thought the line "you can flurt your pretty eyes" was "you can clutch your pretty eyes."
I thought "that's GOTTA hurt."
I used to think that Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me" was "Bestest is Me" and I was all "Mann...she sure is stuck-up."
A country song I heard on the radio, I forget the name of(I think it was "you picked a good time to leave me _____"),When the guy said with 4 hungry kids,I thought he said 400 kids,and my eyes pooped out of my head a the thought of 400 kids.
i dont know what song this was, but there was sometihng like "precious and few are the moments we two can share" and i heard "precious and few are the moments, sweet toucan Cher" i thought of some guy singing it to some female toucan named cher...
i thought the neil diamond song was "kentucky walnut"...and still kind of do....
I thought the line "turning saints into the sea" in the Killers' Mr. Brightside wans actually "dirty sex into the sea."
i used to think in the song "hit me with your best shot" was really "hit me while i'm on pot" yea.... i suck!!
In the Bananarama song Guilty instead of "Guilty, Guilty as a girl can be' I used to sing "Guilty, Guilty as a cocoa bean"
HAVE I THE RIGHT By The Honeycombs - 1964
I used to think that the line 'Come right back I just can't bear it I've got a love and i want to share it' was Come right back i just can't bare it I got a loan from a holy sherriff" Very sad.
That 'army' marching song that goes "Wherever we go (wherever we go), People always ask us (People always ask us), Where do you come from? (Where do you come from?)" etc. Well we used to sing it at Brownies and for ages I thought it was "Wherever we go, we think of all disasters". I thought it was about being contemplative about people who'd been affected by wars and things.
My Brownie leader overheard me, cracked up laughing and told everyone, making me look like a fool. I've never really got over it. She shouldn't have been allowed to be a leader....
... "we are living in mama's cereal world.. and I am mama's cereal girl".... sounded good to me. I loved cereal.
When my big sister kindly pointed out to me that it was "material girl"... I thought she was one of those ladies at the fabric counter measuring out yards of material... I didn't like that as much.
Also, my little sister LOVED the movie Grease, she was the movie's biggest fan... her favorite song was..."you're the thinga-ma-bob!" (instead of you're the one that I want")
My across the street neighbor (who was about 7 at the time) swore up and down that the words to Travis Tritt's song "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" went "I spilled tea all over you and me"... you couldn't convince her otherwise.
She also thought that song "Mi Vida Loca" by Pam Tillis went "...I take corners onto hills" instead of "I take corners on two wheels" (a little geographically challenged I think) and "it's a never ending circus ride, we know farts need not apply"... instead of "faint of heart need not apply". I suggested she just turn off the radio and never listen again.
My uncle was 100% convinced that "Do the hustle" was actually "eat a hot dog!"... he would walk through my grandma's house disco dancing and belting it out.
top belief!
As a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s, I loved Madonna.
Only, her songs sometimes confused me.
Vogue, for instance was puzzling.
I really couldn't fathom why she was singing about gum disease. ("Gingivitus, dance on air... ") Turns out she was ACTUALLY singing about Ginger Rodgers. ("Ginger Rodgers, dance on air...") Hmmm... Good to know.
Incidentally, "dance on air" could have easily been legionnaire's. I briefly considered re-making the song into a song about different diseases. Thankfully, I didn't have that much spare time.
untill about ayear ago I used to think that Elton Johns song tiny dancer went "hold me close don't tie me down son" when really he was saying "hold me close now tiny dancer". My version didn't make any sense : )
at 5, I thought the Eagles "Take it to the limit" was "Take it to the lemon"
later, intent on finding a nice italian boyfriend, I thought Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" line "Last night I dreamt of San Pedro" was "Last night I dreamt of some daygo"
I used to sing along with bohemian rhapsody by queen- "spare him his life from his monstrosity" was "spare him his life for his mum's new settee" and "beelezebub has a devil put aside for me" was "the owls that hoot had a neville in a side for me". i was scandalised that a mother would consider her new settee over the life of her son :s
