misheard lyrics

in the greenday song ' watsername' the song goes "thought i ran into u down on the street/then it turned out to only be a dream" i was convinced it said "then it turned out to only be a freak!"
i still think my version sounds better.

I used to believe that in the Christmas song "Winter Wonderland" that the words were "later on, we'll perspire, as we sit by the fire" instead of "later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire." I would get some chuckles by family members when we would sing this song. Even though know the real words now, I still prefer to sing it my way.

Up until I was about 12 or 13 I thought this was strange. Jimi Hendrix didn't seem to be gay to me but I thought well musicians could say anything they wanted. I just thought it was weird that he would say 'scuse me--while I kiss this guy' ??

I used to the think the song ' damn, I wish I was your lover' by Sophie B Hawkins went: "Damn, I wanna shovel your love up"

In a song by Michael jackson he sings "your burdens I will bear" I thought he sung "your burgers are the best". I couldn't understand why he was talking about burgers!

I think we all thought this when we were little: I use to sing: (Madonna, Material Girl)

Living in a m'cheerio world
And I am a m'cheerio girl
You know that we are living in a m'cheerio world
And I am a m'cheerio girl

M'cheerio Girl

As a teen in the 90s, I loved to listen to 70s rock - and one of my favorite songs to sing was "Big Old Fat Carolina" (Steve Miller Band's, "Big Ol' Jet Airliner"). A year later when I found out the actual lyrics, it wasn't so fun to sing anymore... heh.

Apologies to Ms. Carolina

I thought the lyrics to 'You gotta be' would say 'You've got a budweiser' instead of 'you gotta be wiser' Hee hee.

I used to think Ashlee Simpson's song L.O.V.E. went 'ello, 'ello, 'ello can you hear me. I had know clue y she was singing about phones...

Amanda

Whe my friend's daughter was 3 or 4 she used to think the Eminem song "Without Me" that starts "Two trailerpark girls go round the outside" actually went "Two trailerpark girls get brownie outside, brownie outside"...living in a trailer park, this was very exciting for her! haha!

I thought that in Paul McCartney & Wings 'Live and Let Die' it went 'What does it matter to ya/ When you got a job to do, you gotta do it well/.. You gotta give the other fella HEAD'... I remember wondering what Linda had to say about this, and why a star in McCartney's position (pun intended) should have to do that anyway...

'I've got candy in my ears tonight, baby'.

i used to think the song "walking in a winter wonderland" was "walking in a womens underwear"

I still hear Soundgarden's Outshined as "show me the Power Shower" instead of "show me the power, child"
I wondered why Cornell was asking for a Power Shower, he must of been really dirty!

My latest misheard lyric was thinking Gwen Stefanis "Cause I aint no holla back girl" said "Aint No Harlem fat Girl"

And they laughed and laughed

Sarah

A friend of mine misheard the Band Aid song "Do they know it's Christmas?" Real lyrics......."The greatest gift they'll get this year is LIFE". She heard it has, "the greatest gift they'll get this year is RICE!!"

Until about a couple of years ago, I thought the line in the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" was "Cheer up sweet Bejean."

I died laughing when my 9 year old niece sang Beyonce's "Irreplaceable":

"I could have a barbeque in a minute."

Amused

When I was younger, I saw Madonna's video for "Material Girl". I thought she was singing "I'm a Cheerio Girl"!

Around the age of eleven or twelve, I thought the Bananarama song Venus sang "I'm your penis" [I'm your Venus]. I was scandalized every time I heard it.
