When I was really little I was afriad of this song it use to scare me everytime it came on. It was called "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright.

This is the my version

Ohh James Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night.

The original version.
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night

For the longest time I misheard a line in the EMF song "Unbelievable" - what should have been: "Never think you're asked to brace yourself" sounded to me like "Never pick your ass to brace yourself."
It still sounds like that to me.

Unbelievable

I used to think that 'you'll go down in history' in Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer was 'you'll go down in his story'.

My friend used to think that the song 'bootylicious' by destiny's child went :
"I don't think your ready for this jetty... coz my body's too boobylicious for you babe" instead of 'jelly' and 'booTylicious'.

i got caught out a couple of months ago by a group of friends when i did my best rendition of spiderbait "black betty". the problem was that i thought it was about the story book horse and sang "whoa black beauty bam ba lam". ill never live it down...

I used to think the words of the Bee Gees' song "How deep is your love" were "If you come to me I'll suffer-ee" (which doesn't make sense, but I also used to think that to suffer meant to feel happy - the opposite of what it actually means!). I now know that it reads "And you come to me on a summer breeze".

I also thought the line "breaking us down" sounded like "breaking the spell". Because in the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the Prince "breaks the spell" by kissing her, my Mum used to tell me to "break the spell" by giving my gran a kiss, so that was what I thought it meant.

In the fallout Boy song, "Suger We're Going Down" I thought these were the lyrics:Am I more then you buggened (whatever that is) for yeah,been dryin' to tell you anythin you wanna he, 'cuz that's just how I am this week. fly in the glass next to the mausoleum, I'm just a nut in your bed ,oh,but your just the lining in a sun. Drop a hear,breakin' nail, you're always slippin' in,and slippin for the row tee. We're goin' down,Doug, in an uglier round and sugar we're going down singing, i'll be your number one with a boo it, A loony gone complex, chocolate pudding. Is this mo then you buggened for yeah,tell mommy I'm watching U2 closely. Wishing to be the freak in your dreams. Isn't it messed up, how i'm just dying to be here./ but I just looked up the lyrics and UI am so wrong.

Okay..when I was little..I thought that that song, oh I dont even know what it is called..Something about I Got the party!...Well I thought that it said- I Got the parlor!....&& Then in the Jefferson themesong where it says "..to the deluxe apartment, in the sky.." I Thought it was "..He loves Carpotza in the Dine!.."..lol yeah I dont know what was wrong with me, but I certanily thought it was right!.

My Husband thought that Kelly Clarkson's song, Breakaway went. "Dreaming of what could be. And if out in a Pappy." He never could figure out what a Pappy was. Then one day he asked me and I laughed really hard. They go "Dreamin' of what could be. And if I'd end up happy."

My sister used to think that the Blues Travelers song "Run-around" started "Hooked by a reel at a fishing party" instead of "Once upon a midnight dreary"

I use to think smooth operator was smooth bararella.

Up until recently I thought the words to the Slade song that goes ' We'll go wild wild wild' were ' we'll go waah waah waah.

on the radio there was a song .; 'walking on tne beaches looking for the pitzas'' There were no pitza huts on our beach and I felt hard done by and wished I was on the beach in the song.....seems the word is peaches.....

I have as much trouble as anyone discerning what they're singing in most songs, but when I heard the Rolling Stones singing, "I'll never be your beast of burden" that's actually what I thought they were singing, I just couldn't believe it. I thought, "They're certainly not singing about a 'beast of burden'." It must be something else, I figured, but for once I was right!

This is actually my friend's belief, not mine.
Okay, you know the song "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge? The part where they say "Want to vanish, inside your kiss"? Yeah, my friend, was completely convinced that they said "Want to varnish, insert your kiss." It took a lot of repetitions of the song and my insisting before she would finally concede that I was right not her. Oh and we're almost 17, and this was less than a year ago.

When I was in highschool, I was singing along with the radio. They were playing that song by Phil Collins, I think it's called "Against All Ods." My best friend told me that when he said, "There's just an empty space," she thought he said, "The last child to match his face." She realized what the real lyrics were when I sang it.

the first time i heard the song "black-eyed" by placebo, i was unaware of the title. if you're not familiar with the song, during the chorus the lead singer says "black-eyed" over and over. however, i thought he was saying "black guy." my friend nearly killed herself laughing when i asked her how black guys played into a song about insanity.
