misheard lyrics

When I first heard Shania Twain's song, "Whose bed have your boots been under", I sang it like this... "Ooh babe, baby boo bay bunger"!

I had no idea.....

unknown

AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds (Done Dirty Cheap)" -- I always thought it was "Dirty Ds and the Thunder Chief".

Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" -- for some reason I thought Bob was singing, "The ants, my friend, the ants are blowing in the wind". Hmm..

There was a version of the song "Sing" that echoed the English lyrics with Spanish. I used to sing, much to the enjoyment of my Spanish-speaking friends, "Sing- Canta. Sing a song- Canta oompa sanchone!"

In James Taylor's version of How Sweet It Is, I used to think he was singing - With sweet love and abortion, deeply touching my emotion.

The the song The Great Escape I got the lyrics very wrong. It goes Paper bags & plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye,
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
& make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

How ever I though it went
Paper bags and plastic hearts
Everybody in shopping carts
Goodbye
But we fight
Lets get drunk and drive around
and make peace with a empty clown
we can make it right
Throw it away foget yesterday
we'll make the great escape
we wont hear a word they say
they dont know us anyway
watch a bird
let it die
we are finally free tonight.

I think i like my lyrics better, at least the part about the bird...

Let the bird die..

My colleague thinks that the Catherine McFee song "so over it" is "So OVERWEIGHT" and she's just turned 30 something! Ha ha

For years I thought that the chorus to the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams" was "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Venus" -not Sweet Dreams are made of this

Come on, let's play Monopoly, cash fun and renting property... That is really cash fun and RITZY property!

I used to think the van halen song was "cannonball" later to be found out by EVERYBODY that it was "panama" how embarrassing...

In the Green Day song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" there's a line that goes:
"My shadow's the only one who walks beside me"
I thought it was:
"No child's the only one who walks beside me"
I could not quite figure this one out. I thought it might mean that the only one who walked beside him was an adult...or maybe not...i was very confused until i found out the correct lyrics.

"Sunglasses at Night" - real lyrics:

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
oh no

I just looked up the lyrics when I realized that my idea was probably wrong. I heard:

Don't masturbate with the guy in shades
oh no

joana

born to be wild lyrics to me from about 5 years old where...

get your motor running
granny on the highway
loking for adventure
in whatever comes her way

I used to believe that Leona Lewis' song "Angel" was about a ninja, because of how she pronounced the word.

I had a Wiggles video with a song about a grocer that went "lettuce sing, fresh fruits and veggies, lettuce sing, fruit in the bag"

I thought it said "fruit in the back" and that it was mean to put fruit in the back while veggies were in the front

fruit salad

I had a friend who thought the Cold Chisel song "cheap wine" went like this - cheap wine and a female goat.

For a long time, I thought the lyric
"Blowing thru the jasmine in my mind" from _Summer Breeze_ by Seals and Crofts was "Blowing through the jazz mounds in my mind." I always would wonder what the heck a "jazz mound" was.

clappy christian house party and pearl jam had a glorified virgin on a pelican. nice.

When I was growing up, my best friend was notorious for mixing up song lyrics. Her "alternate renditions" still crack me up! She believed that Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was Hit Me With Your Pants Down"! Pretty racey for a 9 year old... She also thought Barry Manilow's song, "Looks Like We Made It", was "Looks Like Tomatoes".

When I was young, I thought that the line "Under the pale moon light" from the song "Somewhere out there" (The rescuers) was "Under the pebble light"... Still sing it to this day!
