misheard lyrics

When I first heard about the record "Tea for the Tillerman" (by Cat Stevens??? I don´t know) I thought it was "Teeth for the Tillerman"...

I believed for 2 years that the chorus of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters was "I love Vanessa, turn my world around!" Actually the real words are "I'm a different person, yeah, turned my world around". Sometimes the lyrics of dance tracks can be hard to understand. Too much bass beat!

In "Dammit" by Blink182, I thought that it was not "this is growing up", but "sis is growing up"!

I just read the belief about someone thinking that the song I'm 'Blue' went 'I'm blue I'm in need of a guy'. I used to think that it was 'I'm blue I believe I will die'.

I used to believe that the lyrics from Chaple of love by the beach boys where:
"goin to the jackolantern, gonna get married" , instead of
"Going to the chapel And were gonna get married"

I don't remember this, but according to my parents, one Christmas my sister and I went around giving out "Herald Angel Rings," because we thought those were the words to "Hark! The Herald Angel sings!"

I used to think TLCs song Unpretty was called 'Im pretty' and would sing all the 'unpretty' bits as ' damn Im pretty' proudly pointing at myself

And still on TLC, I always used to hear ' Dont go Jason Waterfalls pissing to the rivers like you used to.... instead of dont go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers like you used to!

I know I am not the only one who used to sing John Mayer's 'your body is a wonderland' as ' alice in wonderland'

I believed that the homecoming queen in 'Daydream Believer' was a queen, and she was coming home.

My friend and I loved the song "Down on the Corner", we especially loved singing along with it. The problem was, we didn't know the lyrics. Until we looked the lyrics up online, we sang the lyrics, "Down on the corner, out in the street, with a busload full of cattle, and veniffo dadalie" for about three years.
People must have thought we were retarded.

You the song, 'This is how you remind me', by, 'Nickleback'?

My friend thought he was, 'Tired of living like a black man'. XD

Okay, I have two misheard lyrics. I just realized I was singing them wrong only a few months ago. XD Okay, the first one is:

In the song "Lying From You" the lyrics go:

"I'd rather be all alone"

I heard: "I'd rather bake all alone". XD

Okay, the second one is in the song "Hit The Floor"

The real lyrics are "Making your heart stop"

I thought it was: "Thinkin' your hot stuff" XD I guess it makes sense.

Baking Hot Stuff

There is a song by Eminem called Mockingbird. The lyrics to part of it go "stiffen that upper lip up little lady...." Well I thought Eminem just made up a beat to throw in the song and I heard "stiffa nada bump neck little lady" It was only after my younger sister informed me that I knew otherwise

The GoGo's song "Our Lips Are Sealed" sounded like "Honest I See You" to me for a long time.

when i was little i thought that in bryan adams song 'summer of 69',
he actually said 'smells like sex tonight'
i got very embarrassed when it came on the radio

Yesterday our family was watching the Seinfeld episode "The Pothole." At the end, Newman was singing "You're once, twice, three times a lady" when his truck burst into flames. After the episode was finished, my brother (17 years old) was replaying it in his mind and sang, "You're once, twice, three times later."

when i was a child i always thought the the first line of the song 'run to me' by The Bee Gees was ''if ever you have got brain in your heart''! i used to think it's a song by count dracula (god knows why) who asks everybody to run to him whenever somebody has 'brain in their heart'!

When I recently first heard Incubus's "A Kiss to Send us off" I was convinced they were telling the listener to "Kiss an Elephant!"
