misheard lyrics

Until About 6 months ago, I thought the AC/DC song was " thirty thieves and the thunder chief" not "dirty deeds done dirt cheap." I thought it was about a group of peole who do things for you for money...get drunk and sing that at the top of your lungs in a bar and watch what happens.....

not knowing the words to" volare" i would sing: volare! ohno!
come sob day no go! hey you! you tear'a my suit! hey look'a you spill'a my soup!

I thought that AC/DC's song was, "Dirty feet in the jungle jeep." Not, "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap."

Odd child...

Cheryll and the Jeep.

In the title theme from "Dukes Of Hazzard" the line goes "Just the good ol' boys,
Never meanin' no harm,
Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. "
I always heard "been in trouble with the law since the Daisy was born."

Oh man, girls cause trouble

Slim Tom

the song "more than a woman" still sounds like he's saying "bald headed woman", even though i know what is really being said! lol

Bald Headed Woman

"Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is scary"
instead of
"Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry."

In the song "Whip it" by Divo, I used to think they were saying 'whip it, in the shade' instead of 'into shape.' My friend and her mom laughed at me and had to tell me the real words. I got a few others wrong but I can't remember them.

Katie

In the song, "Puff the Magic Dragon," I always thought that Jackie Paper brought Puff ceiling wax.

Travis

The Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

Correct lyric: Can I believe the magic of your sighs
What I heard: Can I believe the magic of your size

I used to think the end of the song Rockaby Baby went like this:

"And down would come baby...cradle and DOLLAR!"

instead of

"And down would come baby...cradle and all"

haha i was a weird little kid.

I used to think the song Cotton Eye Joe Said "where did you come from where did you go where did you go"
NOT where did you come from cotton eye Joe...

I never got where he keeps going and comming. I remember my dads friend had a party with a DJ and my dad tried to explain the whole DJ concept and sent me on my merry way to ask the poor DJ the song I wanted " Where'd you come from" which logically was the name of the song that they constantly say "where'd you come from where'd you go where'd you come from where'd you go" the best was when the guy asked me to sing it cuz he never heard of it.....yea that was bad I was like 13 lol

Blind Melon's "No Rain"---

"You know I'd like to keep my chi extracted, eh." instead of "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today." Still hear it every time.

Michael Jackson song Billy Jean says the KID is not my son. I always thought it said the CHAIR is not my son. Well of course it isn't...duh!

You know the song "Papa Was A Rollin Stone'" by the Temptations? The verse where it says "And when he died all he left us was alone." I always thought he left them an loan (like a loan from the bank) Could never understand why they were so upset in that song.

For ages I thought the lyrics to "I shot the sherif was: "Hey, chocolate cherry" I never could understand what the deputy had to do it...

Tone

My husband and I listen to tons of CDs on road-trips, one of which is by Pearl Jam. Took us a few trips to figure out what the song really was about when we thought they were singing either "Low-Flying Version of a Pelican" or "You're a Fine Version of a Pelican" (it's "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun"), but we still like it our way.

I grew up in Whitestone, New York. When Glenn Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" would come on the radio, I would sing "I'm a Whitestone cowboooooy....!" much to the chagrin of my mother.

I used to think that a line in a song by Depeche Mode was "Jesus took a pee in the grass." In actually says "Someone to be opressed."

Back in the late 80s, my wife loved that song that goes "Tonight I need your sweet caress, hold me in the darkness." That is, she loved it until she heard me mangle the lyrics - "hold me in your armpit". She never could listen to the song again, and never would forgive me for ruining it for her.

Divorced Now

my girlfriend and i had jsut watched a James Bond movie, and she started to sing "secret-- agent man, secret--agent maaan....." only problem was, she thought the words were "secret Asian man"....
