misheard lyrics

When my sister was about 6 (she's 10 now), the George Strait song, "Cross My Heart" came on, and she started out with the lines "Our love is untraditional" (the real word is "unconditional"), and I thought it was hysterical. I think it should be sung that way as an anthem for alternative lifestyles.

For years I happily sang along to George Michael's careless whisper with real gusto "I'm never gonna dance again, can't you see I've got no rhythm" until I heard my auntie belting out I'm never gonna dance again, these two feet have got no rhythm" after much disagreement as to who's version was correct we discovered that we were both wrong and it is in fact guilty feet have got no rhythm. We still stick to our own versions though as we prefer them. If that wasn't bad enough I used to love the line in Micheal Jackson's You are not alone which goes: I can hear your prayers, Your burgers are the best.

I was disappointed when I eventully learned the real lyrics as I thought mine was better.

instead of "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" we thought it was "dirty deeds dunder cheese."

instead of "pour some sugar on me" we thought it was "hot town juvenille love"

instead of "tainted love" we thought it was "chains in love"

instead of "maybe im the one" we thought it was "baby on the wall"

instead of "shut the door baby" we thought it was "sugar plum fairy"

instead of "tainted love" we thought it was "chains in love"

I used to believe that in the some "You owe me an IOU" by Hot Hot Heat that the lyric
"You owe me an IOU"
was actually
"Don't go to pacoville"
One day I heard a guy say "Lets go to pacoville!" to his dog.
you can imagine my reaction.

When my 10 year old daughter Taylor was six, the Centerfold song by the J. Geils Band came on the radio in the car. Her dad and I were laughing hysterically when she sang the lyrics as, "My angel is a cell phone" instead of "My angel is the centerfold". To this day, our whole family (including Taylor) sings the lyrics incorrectly just to tease her every time the song comes on!

When I was a kid and I heard Bob Segars "Like a Rock" I thought he was singing Fraggle Rock and it was my fave song since I loved Fraggle Rock. My dad one day told me what he was really saying, I started to cry so he put it on and said Hey wait your right it is Fraggle Rock!

When I was about 5 I used to think that the song "Another one bites the dust" by Queen was about dust bunnies that needed to be swept up in the corner.

Eurythmics song of "right by your side", I used to think that it was a song about a man in love with a 12 yr old boy because it sounded like a man singing and I thought the lyrics was like this " I want to be right by your son!!!" XD oh gosh that one part gave me a very bad thought and I was freaking out whenever I heard that song.

In Kesha's Tik Tok, I thought she was saying "The party don't start 'till our work ends'.

I Was Who I Was

A friend of mine was to write down an old Don Gibson song for me that says Everybody's going out and having fun, I,m just a fool for staying home and having none, and he wrote: I'm just a fool for staying home and have a nun. Much better if you ask me.

I told my wife recently that she was singing the nursery rhyme 'Pat-a-cake' to my daughter wrong - She kept singing "Pat it and prick it ad mark it with 'B'...".

As my brother's name and my name both begin with 'S' I was convinced until recently that our Mum always sang the line correctly ie "mark it with 'S'.."

I am now 31 and find it amazing that I had this belief ever since I was a child!.

My boyfriend and I go round and round about REM's "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight"...i think the lyric is "don't even try to wake him up" and he thinks it's "calling Jamaica"...neither of us knows the answer because REM doesn't publish lyrics...

When I was little, my father sang a cute little song, "Mares Eat Oats". I thought the words were like this: Maresy dotes and dosey dotes and little lambsy divey, a kiddlee divey too, wouldn't you?

I used to believe that in the song "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John that instead of "A peace of mind my daddy never had" that he was saying "A piece of mama daddy never had"

Sue

iglesias".enricos brother maybe.

My sister thought Blur were singing "Apartheid" , when what they were actually singing was "Park life".

Re: Wolfgang - I thought REM sang ""Call me tarwaychener"
- which would be some kind of Irish name, perhaps, I guess,
but thats what I thought.

But I`m told its

"call me til I waken up"

When I was younger I used to think that Sister Sledge sang 'Just let me staple the vicar' in We Are Family, in fact they sang just let me state for the record

John McKee

My friend seriously believed the Vengaboys songs 'We're going to Ibiza' went 'Whoa! We're going to have a pizza...'!!!

When i was younger i thought that the lyrics to Micheal Jackson's smooth criminal was "Hayley are you o.k, are you o.k Hayley"

I used to sing it to my sister, as it was her name.
