misheard lyrics

My Daughter, who is now 6, just reminded me how she used to think and sing the opening song to the show "Seventh Heaven", as "Seven Kevin", since her uncle's name is Kevin.

When my foreign cousin came to visit from sweden, he used to sing the transformer song, but being a foreigner, he wasn't exactly singing the correct lyrics.
"Transformers...more than meets the eyes" was mutated into "Transformers, owneh weensy eyes...otherwise" Now why he stuck the "otherwise" part in always blew me and my brother away...I guess he figured that since he thought he knew the words, he can add his own twist at the end????????

My sister thought that the lyrics to 'Sunshine' were:
"God only knows what's up my nose on day without sunshine"

Marshmello Da Strawberry Cow

I used to think that in the song"Family Affair, they were saying "It's a family of bears!"

Okay, so.. there's this Physechadelic Furs song where the lead singer (who is very Britishy I might add) says "Back in the Government" and I, of course, am listening to this on a cassate tape in a 25 year old car. I can't decipher the lyrics. So I just ask aloud "Okay, am I crazy or is he saying 'Bark I'm a Doberman'. If you sound it out, they're quite similar, I promise.

The shameful part is that I was sixteen at the time. I hear the 'correct' lyrics when I listen to it now.

I used to think and swore that Fleetwood Mac was singing "Lee-Anne Lee-Anne" when it was actually "Rhiannon Rhiannon" to the point where I looked for years for a Fleetwood Mac album with a song called "Lee-Anne"

Since I was 7, 28 years ago, I've been a big Elvis fan. At age 10 I got hold of the Roustabout soundtrack album, and upon hearing the sopng "Poison Ivy League" for the first time, I swore he sang "How can they f**k"...a few years later I realized it was actually "how can they flunk". Thank goodness I never sang that in front of my parents!

There is this old Alan Jackson song called "Chasin' that Neon Rainbow". When I was little, I pictured someone chasing a knee into a rainbow.

On Michael Jackson's Billie Jean song... I thought he sang "Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who says that I am the one... but the GIRL is not my son." And I was always thinking how can a girl be a son anyway?

Queen:
"god knows I want to break free"
I heard:
"got nose I want to break free"

Queen:
"that would really be a breakthrough"
I heard:
"that would really be a grapefruit"

When I was little, I used to watch The Facts of Life, and would sing along with the theme song..."You take the good, you take the bad, you take it all and then you have the facts of life."

My version was, "You make your bed, you take a bath, you do it all..." I always thought it made sense since they had to do those things every night to get ready for school the next day.

In the Michael Jackson song Billie Jean, the lyric really goes, "But the kid is not my son." I always thought it was "the chair is not my lover."

That song Rock the Kazbar, I always thought they were saying "rock the cash bar" then I thought I was wrong and thought it was "rock the dance floor"

In Christina Aguilara's song dirty, I thought that when they said in the beginning "too dirty to clean my act up" that they were saying "too dirty to clean my bathtub"

I used to think that the beach boys song "Barbara Ann" was "Bob Bob Baran" and that they were talking about a guy in the song, which made perfect sense to me because for the longest time I thought that the Beach Boys were girls (becuase of their voices). I didn't find out it was Barbara Ann until one day I asked my mom when I was about 12 why a guy named Bob, Bob Baran would "lick someones hand" (I thought it was "...he licked my ha-a-and..") and she cleared me up....

When I was about 5 or 6, I used to believe that song that goes, "ain't no stopping us now" used to say, "Angel's stuck in the snow." I'm 14 and much smarter!
