misheard lyrics

I always thought song went "I Believe In Malcolm" instead of "I Believe in Miracles"

Malcolm Lover

My boyfriend always thought the song in the film Greece said "I got shoes, thet're multiplying" He imagined a wardrobe with hundreds of shoes spilling out!

Viv

The Duran-Duran song ....Rio....I heard "her name is Rio and she doesn't understand" rather than "her name is Rio and she dances in the sand" couldn't figure out why this girl didn't understand her name...

Hannah

For ages I think I and many others thought that Kenny Rogers sung "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with 300 children and a croc in the field".

Actually "3 hungry children and a crop in the field" I believe it was.

my husband thought that the Simon and Garfunkel song Mrs Robinson was
"its a little secret mrs robinsons' a bear" instead of the
"its a little secret just the robinsons' affair."...
and used to joke around with people named robinson about their wives being bears!! they were like-- HUH??!!

I used to think that in 'From Me To You', by the Beatles, John and Paul sang:
"I've got arms that long to hold you, and keep you by my side"
"I've got lips that long to kiss you, and keep you satisfied. Wooo"
Which is fine, because they do. However I interpreted the first line as
"I have arms that are long enough to hold you..."
And then I accepted the following image:
"I've got lips that are long enough to kiss you..."
I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore

Neil

I used to think Bruce Springsteins song, "I'm the Nothin man", was "I'm the muffin man"....who knew?

Toothfairy

I used to believe that the real lyrics in Cristina Aguilara's "Genie in a bottle" was:
I'm a piggy in a bible, baby

Unusual being

When I was a small child and heard the commodores sing, "She's a brick house", I thought they were singing, "She's a brick....OW!" That never made a bit of sense to me

I thought the lyrics in Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" said:

"Your cat flap needs a new pen pal" instead of "You can't plant me in your penthouse"

I thought the line "always look at the bright side of life" was supposed to be "always look at the right side of fly". My mother language is not english so i didn't see the grammar being wrong and always wondered why you should look at the right side of flies and not the left.

Halla

wen i was bout 5 we used to sing this song at school assemblies .. i ALWAYS thought it was

" rock my sole in the person of the bakery?"
instead of
"rock my soul in the bosom of abraham"

i remember visions of a chef rocking someones shoe..

the even more embarrasing thing is that we had words projected up onto the wall...

In Grease's Summer Nights, I thought Danny and Sandy had stayed out 'tilting a clock', as opposed to 'till 10 o'clock.'

i thought it was just what kids used to do for kicks...

In the song 'all star' the one line that is "she was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead" i thought it was "in the shape of an elk on her forehead" and for 4 years every time i head that song i thought to myself, how do you make an elk using two fingers? finally i asked my dad how, and he laughed at me.

Abby

I used to think that the title of Barry Manilow's song "Looks Like We Made It" was "Looks Like Tomatoes".

dirty deeds done dirt cheap beacame slighty twisted and more confusing...as a child I sang along to the song... Dirty d's and the dung-dirt chief. I'm laughing right now just thinking about that! But the worst part is..even though I know the REAL lyrics I still hear the wrong ones!!

phishphan

I used to think the lyrics in Madonna's 'Material Girl' was 'Cos everybody's livin in a material world, and i am mom material girl' I just thought it meant she was the leader or 'mother' in this material world of hers :D

Jay

I thought that the song "Hands off she's mine" by The English Beat was actually saying "Anton, she's my aunt"

Nate

I use to think that Foreigner song 'Jukebox Hero' was actually Juicebox hero... It just made more sense to me that way.

My parents were Folkies, and I REALLY murdered the beautiful, tragic"No More Songs" by Phil Ochs.I thought the line "he whithers on the beat, he's dying" was "the whale is on the beach, he's dying".I..gulp.. Sang it that way for years.

A whale of an error
