misheard lyrics

I used to believe that the lyrics to "My eyes adored you" were really "Liza Georgia, though I never laid a hand on you Liza Georgia" and that the song "Forever in Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond was really "Reverend Blue Jeans" and wanted to go to his church!

Litiotti

My Grandmother use to think the song more then a woman to me use to say Bald headed Woman

Lindsay Michelle

In the song "all star" by smashmouth, theres a line which says "she was looking kinda dumb wth her finger and her thumb" till today i thought it was "she was looking kinda dumb with her finger IN her thumb"
that made no sense atall :D

I had been listening to the song "AFRICA" by Toto since I was about 9. well for some reason I could never get what he was saying in the chorus. I asked around and people said he was saying "I guess it rains down in Africa!" It didn't make a whole lot of sense either. like why wouldn't it rain there? I started singing that but it still didn't sound right. And it didn't make sense eith I finally found out it was "I BLESS the rains down in Africa!" when I was 22!

The band Garbage' Song: Only happy when it rains when Shirley Manson sings the part ' I didn't accidentally tell you that '

I always seem to hear ' To get the message to you behind your back'

I was 17 when I first heard this song now I'm 26
Still hear that part of the song as my version :-)

When I was little I loved the song Love roller coaster by the Ohio players. I used to think when he says "a crazy ride now" was "eggs and rhyme now". I got the image of scrambled eggs whenever that part came on.

I used to think the song Row Your Boat was either about my mother or written for her. Her name is Merlie and I always thought the chorus was Merlie, Merlie, Merlie, Merlie Life is but a Dream

When I was young, I though the David Bowie song "Suffragette CIty" went, "Awww, wham, bam, bacon ham!" My mom never tried to correct me.

Heather

Herman's Hermits used to sing - she's a must to avoid. I thought it was - she's a muscular boy

Jan

I used to think that the chorus to "What's New Pussycat" by Tom Jones went "What you looking at, Whoh,whoh,wa-whoooooh...oooo"

Here's a few:

"I'm a Danish, I'm a Danish" as opposed to " Amadeus, Amadeus"...

Kim Wilde:

"pack of crisps in America" as opposed to "we're the kids of America"

Hot Chocolate:

"I believe it milk oils" as opposed to "I believe in miracles"

Browner von Wight

That in the song Rhinestone Cowboy that he was gettin': "cabbage & lettuce from people I don't even know". I never even thought it was odd that people were sending vegetables to a cowboy.

Sid

I used to think that an aerosmith song said "Who farted? WHO? Who?"

Seth

I USED TO THINK THE CLASH WERE SINGING, "YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT, YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT....MADAGASCAR, MADAGASCAR!!!"
LATER I LEARNED THEY WERE SINGING, "ROCKIN THE KASBA"...HMMM...

I was listening to System of a Down's "sugar" on my CD player one day, and my 4 year old cousin started singing along. He completely messed up the lyrics. The first line of the song is "The kombucha muchroom people" and he sang "The paloocha mocha people". I laughed so hard i nearly cried.

Psychoman

I thought that the lyrics for 'Tequila' by Terrorvision were actually 'I want to kill her, it makes me happy..' and I preferred the song when I thought that! I was in my twenties though, so does this count?

LadyAnnie

When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"

Kristen

I still have no idea what the lyrics are... or even what the songs called but I still swear she's sings "You remember me? I'm the one who ate your baby's eye"

R

You know that TV show "Family Guy"? You know the theme song? I always thought the part where stewie say "all the things that make us laugh and cry" was actually "all th e things that make us effing cry"!

Ashls

I thought Queen's song 'Bohemium Rhapsody' went: I see a little cigarette on a man.
