misheard lyrics

I used to believe that Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" was called "Heavyweight Confession!" I thought it was about someone who REALLY had a lot to confess! If you listen to it when she sings the chorus she does blend the words together. I still like my version better, although I won't sing along to this song when it comes on the radio!

I believed that the Blue song "All rise" went "1 for the money and the free rides, 2 for the lager cheques - denied!" (it's actually "2 for the lie that you denied")
I thought it was about someone trying to buy beer with a cheque, but it was rejected.

I remember that I believed that, in the Annie song "Hard-Knock Life" from the musical, it was "hard (not) life" which means that they enjoyed the whole orphan labour thing.

I wonder if I ever sang it in public?

In Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' the bit that goes 'Billie Jean, is not my lover etc etc, I used to believe he was actually singing 'Billie Jean is not my mother, she's just a girl who says I'm the one, ooh ooh, the girl with the big fat bum'

In the 70's there was a song out by a band named 'Clout' called 'Substitute' and for years I thought it was a rude song, because I swear I thought it was called 'I'll be a prostitute'

For years I used to sing Madonna's song 'Erotica' as " Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body" and I really thought these were the actual lyrics, then when I actually saw Bill Oddie on the telly I thought 'crikey, why does Madonna fancy him?

In a song by Morcheeba, called 'Get Along' I used to think it was a song about DIY, because I mistook the words 'Get along, get aquainted' as 'get along, get it painted, get along buy a paintbrush' yeah honestly.

My sister in law once said to me that she thought that the Barry Manilow song 'Copacabana' was about a dog, because she misheard the lyrics 'and when she'd finished he called her rover' which are actually 'And when she finished, he called her over' well it does sound the same if you say it fast I suppose.

I always thought up until recently, that the Oak Ridge Boys song, "Elvira" said "Hell Fire-Up". I thought this was somekind of song to make you go to church to keep from hell's flames firing up on you.

I used to think the song by Neil Young, Ohio went like this:
Twin soldiers and fixin's comin
We're finally on a phone
This summer I hear the drumming
Forgetting Ohio

These are the real lyrics:
Tin Soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

Gimme a break...I was 5 yrs old!

My step sister used to believe the words to "Home On the Range" were:

"Home, home on the range, when the deer sat on the bench."

I also used to think that the song Raspberry Barret by Prince was Round Merry Go Round. I even argued with my aunt about it.

I use to think the lyrics to Kenny Rogers song Lucille was......You picked a fine time to leave me lucille, with 400 children.... I was like 6....i didn't understand the "concept" of 400 children, or I might have thought twice about it.

I used to believe that in The Killers "Mr. Brightside" that instead of "Open up my eager eyes" he said "Open up my ears and eyes", until one day my sister started cracking up lauging at me and told me what it really was.
