misheard lyrics

I only found out today that the line in the bon jovi song Always goes
'It's nothing but some feelings this old dog kicked up.'

I've always though he said 'It's nothing but some feelings, this old time kid up' And now I know why it never seemed to make any sence.

My friend thought that the song "beautiful soul," when he sings, "you're the one i want to chase," she thought it was "you're the one i want to taste." i was laughing at her forever

My church has a traditon; every Sunday morning, everyone who has had a birthday during the week goes to the front of the church while the congregation sings 'Happy Birthday' to them. Only we had a slightly different version of Happy Birthday to make it 'church appropriate'. It went; "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, god bless you and keep you, another year through."

I thought until quite recently 'God bless you and keep you' was 'God bless you, Ankie Beau'. I figured 'Ankie Beau' was another one of those weird, archaic phrases like those in the hymn book.

When my brother was younger, around the age of 6, he got hooked by Bon Jovi's song, Livin' On A Prayer. He started singin' along to it, nailing every single lyric, until it got to the part where it said, "We're half way there, OHHH, livin on a prayer, take my hand, we'll make it I swear, OHHH, livin' in a prayer" His version went as follows: "Oh, we're half way there, OHHH, livin' on a bear, in my head, we're makin' a square, OHHH, livin' on a bear"

I love Avril Lavigne and the lyrics to one of her songs are:

If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you away!
Be with you every night!
Am I squeezin' you too tight?
If I could say what I see,
I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today! Guess I'm wishin' my life away...
With these things I'll never say.

My mom heard:

If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you all day!
Be with you every night!
Am I squeezin' it too tight?
If I could say what I see,
I wanna see you go down on me.
Marry me today! Guess I'm wishin' my life away...
With these things I'll never say.

She was pissed till I showed her the lyrics from the CD cover... heehee!

When the Bee Gee's Song "More than a Woman" first came out, I thought they were saying "Four Letter Woman".... Knowing that I had to be hearing it wrong, I asked a radio DJ friend who laughed and said "No it's More than a Woman, but my buddy had it more wrong than you... he thought is was BALD HEADED WOMAN!

This is not my belief, but my 11 yr. old daughters. She has a neighborhood friend who takes guitar lessons and since I play as well , she ask me if I could play "slow cousin Walter"! Without hesitation I said yes , then I realized what she had asked me , I tried to correct her but my laughing kept me from doing so! I'll never hear Smoke on the Water the same again!

In the song "Home on the Range" where it says seldom is heard a discouraging word I couldn't figure out why seldom was such a discouraging word.

I used to think that the song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" was really "My Body Lies Over the Ocean."

In Beyonce's song 'Crazy in Love', I always thought she said 'Daisy right now'.

There's a line in "you're So Vain" by Carly simon that goes "wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend." My friends and I were listening to it one day and I said, "What does ploseman mean?" My friend London looked at me and said, "That's not a word." "Yes it is," I argued. "Ok, maybe it's postman," I relented a bit. So my friend Deziza went on dictionary.com and looked up ploseman and as you can probably guess, it's not a word. So then Lndon looked uo the lyrics and guess what, it was "close friend". I like my way better though.

I used to believe that in the chorus of the Michael Jackson song Dangerous, he said, Dangerous! oh, spaghetti-o's dangerous. It really is the girl is so dangerous.

I believed until recently that Queen's "we will rock you" when they say " waving your banner all over the place", that they actually sang "Blood and mud's all over the place"

When I was younger, I used to think that there was a song with the lyrics "I'm blue, and indeed I have died, and indeed I have died, and indeed I have died", but then I got hold of the lyrics telling me they sang "da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die". I wondered why people gave me funny looks when i was 10...

I used to believe that there was a prince song about a RED SPHERICAL DRESS, the kind you find in a second hand store...
I believed it until I heard someone call this song by another name on the radio this morning. I am 25.

When I was young and naive, my parents listening to rock music on the radio, I would often wonder what Eric Clapton's lady-friend had against the fine state of Washington... because I could hear him singing, loud and clear to me anyway, that "She don't like, she don't like, she don't like... Spokane."

At least I know better now... And I sometimes wonder why my parents exposed me to this sort of music when I was younger. (I listened to The Doors when I was 4...) Oh well. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, so I don't suppose it's hurt me any!

Ahhh, yes, I remember it well. It was a sultry summer day in the middle of August... or maybe it was a chilly yet sunny winter afternoon... OK, perhaps not so well, but I remember being in the kitchen, and the radio was playing. My little sister was listening to it. She went out of the room momentarily during the commercials, and while she was out, the songs came back on. Their choice? Counting Crow's cover of "Big Yellow Taxi," but Joni Mitchell.

I was instantly mortified. Although I knew that SOME songs with bad words in them got routine radio airplay, such as "Big Old Jet Airliner," I was POSITIVE that a song using THAT word couldn't get played. I instantly turned the radio down, so my little sister wouldn't have to hear how they paid Paradise to put up a "f---ing lie."

I didn't realize my mistake until the song came on again while we were in the car, and I noticed the curious lack of freakingoutitude in my mom. I thankfully lisened closer that time and learned that the real lyrics were, in fact, "they paid Paradise to put up a parking lot."

For some strange reason, I never met the homosexual lovers that most people seem to hear in this refrain. Huh.

I used to love the song "Killing Me Softly", until my dad heard the line "killing me softly with his song" and misheard it as "killing me softly with his thong". I can no longer take it seriously; I burst out laughing every time I hear it.
