misheard lyrics

I have always heard two lines in Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" as the following:

"...Tounge grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go..."
-(TIME grabs you by the wrist...)

"...Hang it on the shelf with good old fingered time..."
-(hang it on the shelf IN good HEALTH and GOOD TIME)

I recently learned how to play this song on guitar, and it wasn't until I looked up the lyrics online that I realized I had been singing the song wrong for years

DOOKIE-head

This is actually my stepsister's but well here it goes:
She used to think that in that song "Drity Deeds Done Dirt Cheep"(i dont know the actual song title but thoes are the lyrics that she mixed up)that they were saying "thirty deeds and a thunder chick". One day we were sitting in a CHURCH parking lot waiting to meet someone to go out to eat and we were listing to that song. She sang almost all of the lyrics and when it got to that part she sang it as she thought it was. My mother and myself could hardly contain our laughter.

The first time I heard "Nice Girls" by Melissa Manchester, it sounded very clearly like she was singing:

Nice girls (nice girls),
They all gotta potty.
Nice girls (nice girls),
They doo-doo.

The real lyrics (which I was able to look up on a website) are:

Nice girls (nice girls),
Think alot about it.
Nice girls (nice girls),
They do it too.

How I wish I could have misheard it that way much earlier, as a small child. For my sister once told me that having to "doo-doo" is a result of having been naughty, and if you were never naughty, you'd never have to do that.

a few months ago I heard a Cliff Richard song called Big Ship' but honestly it sounded as if he was singing "Love is a big DICK following me" no lie, it's true.

My friend, who is 30, sings the song by the Counting crows:
They paved paradise to foot up a fucking lot...

I used to believe that the lyric

'No woman no cry'

Meant if you didn't have a girlfriend then you would never cry.

Listen to it its still works.

when my brother was like 4 he used to sing the ricky martin song "bailamos", but he mistook the words for "i love horse when the river makes me yellow i love horse. shake your booty and your weenie"

my frien liza thought the lyric from The Killers 'Somebody told me' was ' 'Never thought I'd let a rumaroo in my moonlight' as opposed to 'never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight'

The Killers 'Somebody told me'contains the line 'never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight'. My friend Liza decided she could never like a song with the word 'rumaroo' in it. She thought the lyric was 'Never thought I'd let a rumaroo in my moonlight' She's strange.

When I was little, I used to watch The Facts of Life, and would sing along with the theme song..."You take the good, you take the bad, you take it all and then you have the facts of life."

My version was, "You make your bed, you take a bath, you do it all..." I always thought it made sense since they had to do those things every night to get ready for school the next day.

i beg to Truman differ from the Holorise
this is the timing of the rest of our lives
on holiday

(actual lyrics)
i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday

but that billie guy is reali hard to understand!!

I used to think the song, "He's A Jolly Good Fellow" was, "He's a Jolly Good Mellow."

I used to believe that the lyric to Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols was
'I wanna destroy Piss supply'
the actual lyric is 'I wanna destroy passerby'

Stupid Arsed Fairy Man

There is this band called Ingram hill and on one of their songs they sing:

"On my way I'll take the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll take your dreams."

Because of their accent I thought They said:

"On my way I'll seek the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll seek your dreams."

SO EMBARRASING! Me and my Dad debated about it And we were both wrong!

ABBA'S SONG: SUPER TROOPER

" I WAS SICK & TIRED OF EVERYTHING, WHEN I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT FROM TESCO'S"

Don't know where she called from but it was definately not TESCOs.
