misheard lyrics

I used to think that "Dancing queen" by the BeeGees went like this:
Dancing Bean, fell the touch of my tangerine!

oops.

There is a song that goes "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a parking lot". When I heard it, I misheard it al "Bulldoze paradise, and put up a f***ing lot. I asked my dad how they could play such a vulgar song on the radio and in malls, unbleeped. He just looked at me funny. Now I know why!!

The first time my mate played me the slipknot song "people = shit" he didnt tell me the name of the song. Consequently when it came to the chorus i thought he was saying "people who eat horse shirts!"

My boyfriend's seven-year-old daughter was singing "Do the Funky Lady!" to Aeosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." So funny!

I was listening to the New Found Glory song "Sonny" - it talks about a person who has died and I heard one line that said "pictures fade away, coz never means forever." This line really impacted me - I thought it was a really clever way of putting it, because when someone dies the thing that hurts the most is that you will never see them again, and that means for forever! I was very disappointed to learn that it was actually "pictures fade away, but memories forever..."

My younger sister used to sing a line in Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville "stepped on a pop tart" rather than "stepped on a pop top."

I used to think that the BeeGees song "staying alive" said "stay in the light"

Y'know that Alien Ant Farm song that came out a few years ago, called 'Smooth Criminal?' Well, I never learned what the chorus actually said, but I was not the only one who thought it sounded very much like 'Anna, are you OK, are you OK, are you OK Anna?'
Now as it happens, my name is Anna. + I soon got v. sick of people asking me if I was OK repeatedly.

I'm fine, thanks!

When Mariah Carey's "Be Mine Again" came out, I was quite the confused one...

The real lyrics go...

"It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm accountable for what went bad... and I mean that..."

I heard something quite different that went like this...
..."It's irrelavent to dewel on the past... yeah, yeah babay... I'm a cannible for what went bad... (She said I'm accountable very fast.)

My cousin (7) heard what I heard and asked me if she was a cannible, and for some reason, she thinks the songtress is scary... don't know where THAT came from... after hearing that misheard bit, she must've had nightmares of her chaising her around with a chainsaw.

There's this song by Avril Lavigne and i think it's called suddenly or how does it feel or something. The chorus was "How does it feel to be different from me, are we the same?" but i thought it went "How does it feel to be different from me, we weigh the same.

When ever I heard the song "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, I would sing along to it as "R-E-S-P-E-C-P" It was close, save for that last letter, but for the longest time I could not get the lyrics correct and everytime my mom and older sister would laugh at me for it.

My friend and I loved going to hockey games, They played Cotton Eye Joe a lot, and we loved that song so much. One time at a party we went up to sing it on kareoke and we were really shocked that it was "If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe" and not "Vaydodden veence a Cotton Eye Joe".

When I was little I thought Bob Dylan's song "Lay Lady Lay" was called "Lady Elaine" and that he was singing about "Lady Elaine Fairchilde", one of the puppets from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

I thought the lyrics "good girls don't cry" was "good girls don't die" i went around singing that everywheres until a friend called me crazy... whoops!

I have a friend who used to think the dixie land song from the 70's said "I wanna hear some fu@kin dixie land"
instead of "funkie dixie land" so he would sing it out loud when his mom was not around

I thought the Pixies song Gigantic was about the Abominable Snowman. I thought she sang "He piled and piled and piled lips and funk" instead of Hey Paul, lets have a ball.....but I still think of that monster whenever I hear that song.

There's this church group called EFY that I listened to a lot. One of their songs is called 'We Believe.' One verse of it, in the chorus, is 'We believe in obedience ringing the bell of the free..." For several years, I thought it was 'We believe in the beady ants ringing the bell of the free', and I sang it like that every time. Finally one day I had a breakthrough.

O, Beady Ants...

My 14-year old sister always sing "In the jungle, the LION jungle ...", no matter how many times we tell her it's MIGHTY jungle, she keeps getting it wrong.

I was just in a clothing store yesterday and they were playing music. I don't remember what songs were being played, but I misheard the lyrics and it took me a while to find out what they were really singing.

The first one had the lyrics "Always by my side". I misheard it as "Olives by my side"

The second song had the lyrics "Gonna blow your mind" but I misheard it as, "Donut girl, you're mine"

when I was a child I used to believe that in 'who wants to live forever' by Queen instead of *when love must die* they sang *I love my style* kinda boastful isnt it? :D
