misheard lyrics

I always thought that in the Queen song Bohiemian Rhapsody it sang: "Spare him his life from his warm sausages!" I had nightmares for years about aze-wielding oversized weiners.

Elf-Locks

I used to think that Chris de burgh song Lady in red was Lady in Bread

Omega-R-Fox

Remember the song "Star Trekin, accross the universe", well my daughter Hayley (when she was young)thought it was "Star Chicken", it floored me when I realised, better lyrics though, don't you think?

For years during my childhood (I'd have been between 8-12 ish) I thought the chorus line in J Geils Band's 'Centrefold' was 'My girlfriend is the centre forward'. Have a listen, it's not impossible to get wrong!

Mark Whitworth

WHen I was little I heard the song GOing to the Chapel gonna get married, I really dont know the title but that is the main line in the song and I thought they were singing "going to the Jackolantern gonna get married" I fiannly asked my mom why someone would get marriend in pumpkin!

My friends and I would sing "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys all the time in school.

I used to think the line "that monserrat mystique" actually was "I wants a rotten steak!"

As a kid, whenever i heard the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick In The Wall" the line that goes "No dark sarcasm in the classroom " i heard as:

"The Dukes of Hazzard in the bathroom"


and the theme to Sesame Street where it says "sunny days sweeping the clouds away", as a kid i always sang it as:

"Sunny day, sleep a lot. a-ok"

Funny i've grown up now to become a music major in university and sing in various groups - where i have had trouble remembering lyrics to songs i've had solos in! go figure.

A country song I heard on the radio, I forget the name of(I think it was "you picked a good time to leave me _____"),When the guy said with 4 hungry kids,I thought he said 400 kids,and my eyes pooped out of my head a the thought of 400 kids.

No word of a lie and boy do I feel stupid now = I always thought that the song that says " Doo Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do" said "Do what daddy did to mommy to make me"

Jacqui

I thought for years that the line "four calling birds" in The Twelve Days of Christmas was really "four collie birds." I used to picture a bunch of little winged collie dogs flying around.

When I was little my mom had a Lion King soundtrack tape that we used to play in the car. I loved that tape and sung it at the top of my lungs! In the song HAKUNA MATATA it says "It's our problem-free philosophy!" and I would belt at the top of my lungs "It's our problem-free: with lotsa peas!". My mom always got a kick outta it.

There is a part of the Canadian anthem that goes, "God keep our land/Glorious and free". For the longest time I thought that "Gloria Sanfree" was a great Canadian heroine, and I often wondered why we never learned about her in school.

Cathy

I used to think that the words to a country song, instead of being the correct version of "Boot, scoot, and boogey." was "boot scoot and booger."
I grossed my mom out and couldn't figure out why:)

Kristen

My 3 year old daughter sings "Sailing, Sailing 10239" instead of Paul McCartney's holiday tune "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime". i never correct her, cuz it's so cute.

KT in KC

"She's got the Jack" by ACDC was "She's got the Clap".

In the song "Smooth Operator" by Sade, as a kid I heard....

"No need to ahhsk he's a smooth carburetor.."

I guess the word carburetor was probably heard from my dad who often talked about cars, fixing engines, etc. So I must've plugged the word into the song. I was probably 8 or 9 so what the hell would a smooth operator be? I learned the correct lyrics when I was older.

Mel V.

In the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, there's a part where he goes "Bite-ah the dust-ah!!' really fast, and once I was listening to it in the car with my mom, and I said, "doesn't it sound like he's saying 'I am adopted!'?"
Then (and I don't think I'll ever forget this) my mom laughed dismissively and said, "That's what he IS saying."
I still have no idea why my mom would think he was saying 'I am adopted!", especially since it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the song.

kat

well im still a kid but on the song i dont wanna be in love when it said i dont wanna be in love i thought it said i dont wanna be a lump

in the song "take my breath away" by berlin, i thought that the lyrics was "took my brother away..." and i was so sad because someone took her brother away...
I'm a brother of three sisters, and I was also sad because of what would happen if someone took me from them - they will be sad... :(

my dad always thought that in the song "like a prayer" - madonna, where it says "let the choir sing" he thought it said "level crossing" for years. i found it hilarious. haha
