misheard lyrics

My Mom, whose hearing isn't so great, thought for the longest time Elton John's song "Too Low for Zero" was "True Love for Vera" until Dad corrected her. I like Mom's version better.

I thought that Radiohead's "Creep" contained the lyrics, "I'm a tree, I'm a willow" instead of, "I'm a creep, I'm a willow."

When me and my friend were in kindergarten, we used to sing this rhyme "hey who's that it's a missippi cat M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I". Only we heard it as "M-I-S-S-I-S-S-S-P-P-I". Well, we got into a whole fight about it with our dads, until around three months ago- I'm fourteen now- that our dads were right. I still won't admit it, though...

There's a lyric in the U2 song "Bullet The Blue Sky" that goes "I can see those fighter planes." My dad thought it was "I can see those spider fangs."

We'll never let him live that one down.

I used to think the lyrics to Invisible Touch were "She seems to have a fizzy bottle top, yeah!" In fact, I *still* sing it that way... hehe. :)

I used to think Britneys line was Shit on me baby one more time!! He,he,he,he!

When I was about 5 or 6, I used to believe that song that goes, "ain't no stopping us now" used to say, "Angel's stuck in the snow." I'm 14 and much smarter!

"stefa raab" a famous german entertainer once said, that he believed for year the song "Every Time You Go Away" by Paul Young, says "Every time you go away you take a piece of MEAT with you" (i realy says "Every time you go away you take a piece of ME with you") - i laughed so hard, i couldn't breath...

Boy do I feel stoopid...
Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back...
Annoying as hell... yet somewhat catchy...

Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave.
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave.
It's just that no one makes me feel this way.

Go head be gone wit it...

I sang it something like this

Dirty babe...
You see these shackles baby I'm insane
I'll let you in me if I misbehave
I't just that Nor makes me feel this way...
Go head get down wit it.

I got visuals of a man being held in a cell with chains because he was crazy before letting someone in him. As far as the Nor part goes... don't know WHERE that came from...

These aren't nessicarily mine but...

My mom has this song, 'Mas tecila' or something like that, and after a while my brother started singing it. Only he sang, 'mas tequitos'. I thought the same song was, 'Mashed potatoes'. Opps...

Also my boyfriend's brother was singing a song one day that's called something like, 'Snake bite en-ter my ve-i-ns', but he was singing, 'Snape (like in harry potter) bite into my rad-i-a-tor.'

We all have hearing problems.

Snape potatoes!

I used to think that the song "inside out" by eve 6 and "i am the walrus" by the beatles were the same song. i realize now how incredibly different both songs and bands are.

I thought that in the song "Last night i had the strangest dream" that swords and guns and UNICORNS were scattered on the ground. this made perfect sense because unicorns have sharp horns which could be used as weapons!

what?

My sister used to think that the words to Manfred Mann's song 'Doo Wah Diddy' were 'I'm hurt, she's mad...' instead of 'I'm hers, she's mine...'

A 1980s commercial about rail travel had a song that went 'This is the age of the train' and I thought it was 'This is the edge of the train'

I used to think that the song "Helicopter" by Bloc Party was all about cows for some reason. At the beginning, when it said "North to south" i thought it said "Not his cow" like a farmer not wanting his cow to be killed. What really confused me was the chorus which i thought was saying "Are you happy for a moo-cow?" rather than "Are you hoping for a miracle?" also, in a verse i thought it said "Master's tired of milk and shaving"

When I was about 2 or 3, I used to think Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue actually said "Eggy Soup" XP

Eggy soup?

In the Fat Boy Slim song instead of the lyrics "What we doing with the ..." it was "Fuck the women with the ...". I realised something wasn't right when they used the song for a kids art show on ITV.

I used to think that the hit song "Dude looks like a lady," by Aerosmith, actually said,
"Do the funky lady,"

Embaressingly, i used to belt out th words.."when the blood is shed im alone with you" instead of.."with the birds ill share this lonely view" to the chilli's scar tissue!!!
