misheard lyrics

When my twin brother, my sister and I heard "Whoomp There It Is", we used to think it said "POOP, THERE IT IS!!!" so we'd go around everywhere, and start singing that at the top of our lungs when we heard it, cuz we thought it was the funniest thing in the world

"Whoomp there It Is"

The song Push It by Salt n' Peppa, what I heard was "Bushy, Bushy"

I thought the song "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man"

When I was a kid and I heard the song, "What becomes of the broken hearted?" I used to think that the second line was "paid a dime but only farted." I still think of that line when the song comes on.

my brother used to think paul youngs
everytime you go away you take a piece of meat with you...
instead of me...
perhaps with a butcher he was in love

Another Beach Boys Kokomo mix-up. I heard the line "That monserrat mystique" as "That monster out to sea" Still can't get it right in my head.

Remember the song "Dirty Deeds"? I used to sing it "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". When the song came on the radio last year, I asked my husband what on earth they were saying because by then I figured out that maybe "Thunder Chief" didn't make much sense. I still sing it wrong.

Another one: "Hey little thing let me light your candle 'cause momma I'm sure I'm Don Henley now".

'All night long' by Lionel Ritchie-my friend thought that the line 'Siesta forever' was 'Sylvester forever' !!!!!

I thought the lyrics to the Bee Gees song 'how deep is your love' that went...
and you come to me on a summer's breeze
was....
and you come to me on a submarine!
Well it is about how deep is your love!!!

When I was little, I used to think the words to one of the songs in Cinderella were "Sink weed nightengale" when they are actually "Sing sweet nightengale"

Sarah

One of our neighbor kids was learning songs in first grade. I over heard her singing "Land where the pigeons flied ..... from every mountain slide, let freedom ring." Somehow, her version makes more sense today.

the sitter

I thought the line "turning saints into the sea" in the Killers' Mr. Brightside wans actually "dirty sex into the sea."

My ex yused to think "Poetry in Motion" was "Oh a tree in motion"

When I heard the Beatles song "Michelle," I thought the Beatles were singing Michelle, my bell. Then I found out it was ma bell. Of course I didn't know French!

I used to think that Green Day's "Time of Your Life" went
Another yearning goat, a cork stuck in a toad,
Time grabs you by the wrist and erects you and your nose.
o.O Don't ask...

The song "American Pie" by Don McLean has the lyrics:

"While Lenin read a book of Marx..."

I thought it was:

"While Lennon read a book of marks..."
Something about John Lennon and a tally sheet or something.

I also thought the next line, instead of "...dirges in the dark" was "Sturgis in the dark", because my dad was a Harley enthusiast.

It also took me awhile to realize that the song was about Buddy Holly (man, alot of people post about him on here).

Amy

When I was young I had a friend who was sining the Sting tune "King of Pain", except he kept saying "King of SPAIN"

JJflamingo

In the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", I thought that instead of being destined to "go down in history", he would "go down and hit the reith"

paul

I listened to Led Zeplin singing

"I want to be your back door man"

for many years before I realized he was singing about anal sex. I thought he meant sneaking in the back door of the house, like they were having an affair or something. Thanks Tim for clearing that one up for me.
