misheard lyrics

An old girlfriend of mine believed that the 80's song "Voices Carry" by 'Til Tuesday went "hush hush, keep it down down, Mrs. Gary."

She was 25 at the time.

There is a German Christmas song that begins like this: "Sweeter the bells never ring" and I understood the words to mean "Sweet, the bells never ring", but could never understand why it was my father's favorite Christmas song.

I thought the Carpenters song went: "Calling occupants of interplanetary crap". I thought the lyrics were a bit strange, but she was unmistakeably saying "crap".
Years later it suddenly dawned on me that the Karen Carpenter was American, and had an American accent...

It wasn't untill recently I used to think Nirvana's song 'Pennyroyal Tea' the line 'Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea' was infact 'Hit and drink many royalty'

I used to think the song with the lyrics "down on the board walk, board walk" was "moor pork, moor pork" until the age of 8 or 9 when my younger neighbours could not stop laughing at me. They had great joy in letting me know the correct lyrics.........

My twin sister and I used to sing "We're gonna rock down to electric companoo" instead of electric avenue!

This was a young cousin of mine preparing to out for the evening. Standing in front of the mirror i heard him sing.....Oh nunshy bunch is a little baby.......i worked out by the tune that what he was singing was "All that she wants is a little baby" by ace of base

In the Cyndi Lauper song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", I used to think she was saying "they dance the waddle" instead of they just wanna.

Stacey

Until last week, I thought the lyrics to"I Showed Her", were, "I Shall Return".

I liked it better my way.

Instead of "Do they owe us a living? Course they do! Course the do!" in the Crass song.. my friend believed it was.. "Do they owe a living? Cosovo! Cosovo!"

Faith

I used to think that the line from Bohemian Rhapsody was "Beelzebub had the devil for a sideboard, here" instead of "Beelzebub had the devil put aside for me"

Emmylou

When I was a kid I thought it was "Maxwell Jump" instead of "ah, might as well jump" from Van Halen's song "Jump" on their album 1984.

Until we looked up the lyrics, I thought the Les Miserables `little people` said "a fly can fly arond her site..." and I thought allflies were female and were territorial. I was firmly conviced for 2 months

I used to think, that song(cant remeber who its by feats vanessa calton) called Big yellow taxi actually said "put up a f*****g lie" when it actually said "put up a parking lot" i am really stupid

mongoose

I used to think that the lyrics to "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles were "Take the back right turn". So did my mom, and she's obviously much older than me.

Drucifer

I used to think that Stacie Orrico's "more to life" went "Theres got to be more to life than just about every temper every high" :-S Wtf does that mean???

Dumbass!!!

From the 9 inch Nails album Pretty Hate Machine:
I tought "Terrible lie" was "Terrible Eye."
I also thought "I was up above it" was "I was f**kin Bubba."

9 inch nails is still weird though.
