misheard lyrics

I thought the beatles' lyric "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of mind" was "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of pie." I always wondered why he wanted pie so much.

I used to think the lyrics to Row Row Your Boat were " life is butter dream" it wasn't until I was about 12 that I realised it was "but a".

When I was a kid I used to believe that the refrain to "Just another Manic Monday" by the Bangles was really "Just another MAN named Monday"

When I was younger I thought the song "THe Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson was "The beautiful meatball" ...

In the song "I Need You", Linda Ronstadt sings "I need you like a shot needs to shoot".

I always heard it as "I need you like a shark needs shoes".

Australian politician and feminist Irina Dunn wrote that "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle", and I always think of that when I hear this song.

I used to think that Billie Jean Song by micheal jackson went "Billie Jean has got my glove"
But its really "Billie Jean has got my Love"

Near the beginning of the song 'Billy Jean' by Michael Jackson, there's a bit that goes 'Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed'' and I used to think it was 'Then Harry hit her with ice cream'.

My mates Mum used to think Paul Weller was singing about "Eating Trifles" instead of "Eton Rifles"

in the song MOVIN' ON UP from the show THE JEFFERSONS, i thought one part said: "Long sweet lips, chewing me baby, ain't nothin' wrong with that", when it really says, "Long as we live, it's you and me baby, ain't nothing wrong with that"

When I was a kid I thought Mary had a little lamb whose FLEAS were white as snow.

my silly roommate used to think that the lyrics to Macy Gray's song said "i blow bubbles when you are not here"... the real lyrics are "my world crumbles when you are not near"
now when i walk in the room and she's blowing bubbles, well, i know what to think.

When the song "Someday Out of the Blue" by Elton John came out, I loved it. Everytime it was on the radio, I would sing it as enthusiastically as possible. The only thing was that I got the chorus messed up.
The chorus actually goes:

"Someday out of the blue,
In a crowded street, or a deserted square,
I'll turn and I'll see you"

O (oh, so nobly) mis-sang:

"Someday out of the blue,
In a crowded street, or a deserted square,
I'll turn a Nazi in."

I have quite a few stories...

First of all, I really think the singer from The Cure needs to annunciate more, since he's been teaching kids some dirty stuff. It was one day while playing some nice music, when I hear the words,
'Yoo-hoo, soft and only, yoo-hoo, lost and lonely, yoo-hoo, you're dressed like Kevin.'
Of course, the real words are 'just like heaven'. Since the song is supposedly about a girl, I thought the song was about a cross-dresser or something. In other news, the first time I heard the song Friday I'm In Love, I could have SWORN he was singing 'Friday, I'm a bra'.

Next! The song Sexyback by Justin Timberlake - I used to think 'get your sexy on' was 'get your sexy towel'. Sounds like that. And Say It Right by Nelly Furtado...I could have sworn that 'from my hands, I could give you, something, that I made' was actually 'from my PANTS, I could give you, something, that I made...'
And the line after that one (same song, Say It Right), it sounds like 'from my mouth' is 'from my bowel'.

And The Clash. They have dirty minds too. Times a thousand. On the album London Calling, there's a song called Spanish Bombs. The little lyrics booklet says the words are 'oh, oh, oh mah corazon' but when I hear it it, no matter how hard I try, I can't hear anything else but 'oh, oh, oh Madonna thong'.

Give this belief a thumbs-up if you think I have a serious hearing problem.

When my friend was younger, she always thought Nirvana was singing "Here we are now, in containers!!" ... sure, well if that's where they liked to hang out XD

Theres that song by The Offspring that goes, 'And feels like Heavens so far away'
When I was a kid I thought he was saying
'Kevins so far away'
I just thought he was missing his friend. When I told my sister she almost killed herself laughing

Karen

I use to think that Bruce Springsteen's song "growing up" was called "throwing up"

My friend's sister believed the lyrics to Gazza's "Fog on the Tyne" were "Fog on the dinasaurs mine all mine"

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (we don't need no education). The lyric " no dark sarcasm in the classroom" At age 11 I thought they were singing " no Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom"

Billy Squire sang about "My Kind of Lover". My wife sang about "My Candelabra"

Wailerman

I used to think the song that goes "Call me Mr Vain" was "Call me Mr Vein", when I was very young.

I thought it was some stupid medical song designed for kids until I heard the rest of the song many years later.
