misheard lyrics

In the song, "Deal," by Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), there's a line that goes, "Since you poured the wine for me, I've tightened up my shoes..." I used to think he said, "Since you told the wife on me..." Actually, I like think what I heard makes more sense...oh well...

When i heard the song Heart Of Glass(Blondie) i heard this

Yeah, Riding High, My Mother said you were sh*te

i found out the words were

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

When I was about 6 or 7, I had an aunt who would sing Paul McCartny's song Band on the Run, but she would sing Man on the Gun, so I would copy her when I was with my friends and got teased so bad for being so dumb

Patty

There's a song by Wir Sind Helden called Denkmal. It was on radio three years ago a lot. There's a line which I believed to be "Hol den Fahrschein raus" (Take out your ticket for showing it to the ticket inspectors) .. since the song seemed to be about youth culture, graffiti and someone else having conducted illegal or at least public nuisance, it made sense to me perfectly. Until I re-heared the song in full. The line actually is "Hol den Vorschlaghammer (Fedge the sledge).

I think in the Maroon 5/She will be loved
I know where you hide
I know that you died...

Bon Jovi's song 'Living on a prayer':
'Oh, we're halfway there, oh oh, living on a prayer'

I thought it was: 'Oh, we're halfway there, oh oh, living on bread' !!

I STILL think that the All-American Rejects' song goes "Swing swing swing from a tablesaw..." (Although after reading some of these I understand it's supposed to be ...from the TANGLES OF...) yeah...

I used to think the song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually about a guy named "Revend Blue Jeans!" Even though it didn't make much sense as a name, I couldn't imagine as a 2-3 yeard-old what the singer was really saying!

The Go-G0's

"Our Lips Are Sealed" was Alex I See You.

And..."in the DALLAS games people play" instead of JEALOUS. Well, the Cowboys were pretty big then.

Instead of Money Money- the huge eighties hit, I to this day only hear "like a pony" and I have never known any of the other words.

I used to believe that the the Beach Boys Song went "fun fun fun til daddy took the TV away" instead of T-Bird away.

I used to believe that Aerosmith's song Dude Looks Like A Lady was called Do It Like a Lady. I always thought of "doing it" as intercourse so I was ashamed when I found out the lyrics to the song.

I as well thought that Ace of Base's "I Saw The Sign' was I Saw The Sun

I thought the lyrics to the Barbie Girl Song by Aqua were "I'm a Barbie girl in a potty world..." Imagine my embarrassment when I saw the actual lyrics.

georgina

my brother would sing "Because I'm Shaving!!!!!" when the song was "Because I'm Shameless!"

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I used to believe that Queen's song "Bohemian Rhapsody" went: "Spare him his life in this monastary" not "Spare him his life from these monstrosities." I only found this out yesterday when I sang my lyrics at the top of my lungs, and I'm 22!

I used to think the Lyrics to Tub Thumping were " kissing the night away, kissing the night today" until a minute ago when I read someone elses belief about the song, and how they though along the smae lines...theline is "pissing the night away!

Someone wrote...
"in the song SWAY (song 2 in 'sticky fingers' album) by the Rolling Stones, i used to think the chorus went: "It's just that needle I forgot you in its sway", when he (mick jagger) really sings: "It's just that demon life that's got me in its sway"....

Actually my dad, who is a huge Rolling Stones fan, swears that it is "It's just that needle I forgot you're in it's sway." Or at least thats what he heard back in the day...

When I was in 7th grade, a boy i liked would visit his relatives in Georgia. I thought it was really funny when Frankie Valli's song came out "Mike's in Georgia" (though it was really "My eyes adored You"!)

In Christina Aguilara's song dirty, I thought that when they said in the beginning "too dirty to clean my act up" that they were saying "too dirty to clean my bathtub"
