misheard lyrics

I used to believe that in the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray,that when she sang 'And my heart crumbles when you are not near' she was actually singing 'And i wear goggles when you are not near'

I used to think the Locomotion was the Lovely Motion when I was a child! Come on, come on, do the lovely motion with me!

i used to believe the song by daniel beddingfield wrap your words around me or whatever it is went "is it right to bring her solids in the morning" when it's acutally "is it right to bring her sonnets in the morning"

Sy

"Wella taco body, taco body, taco body, taco body...Taco-bot, taco-bot, taco-bot moovin"

OR

"Well-a talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it...Talk about, talk about, talk about moovin"

-Funkytown by Lips, Inc.

the original Taco-bot

My brother once came home from work having heard a song on the radio, telling me the lyrics were "walks like his pants are too tight", as opposed to "walk like a panther tonight".

When I was a kid I used to love Kenny Rogers.One song in particular, I think it was "Lucille," had the line "You left me with 4 hungry children and a crop in the field." For years I was sure he was saying, "You left me with 4 HUNDRED children and a crop in the field."

The first couple of times that I heard INXS' Suicide Blonde, I thought for sure they were singing "Super Salad Bar" instead of suicide blonde.

In the Green Day song Extraordinary Girl, one line goes 'like a pet left in the rain'. i thought it was 'like a pig left in the rain,' which isn't much different but it sounds much weirder!

Jesi

I thought Hey there Georgie Girl! was
Hey there George Eagle!

For years I wondered who George Eagle was and why there was a song about him.

RLF

In Music by Madonna I used to sing Music makes the bourgouise live forever rather than music makes the bourgouise and the rebel.
I never did understand why it would only affect the rich!

my sister made up a silly version of the viva las vegas song by elvis, it went people like bagels. for years i thought they were the actual lyrics. stupid me!

don't believe your sister.

That 'army' marching song that goes "Wherever we go (wherever we go), People always ask us (People always ask us), Where do you come from? (Where do you come from?)" etc. Well we used to sing it at Brownies and for ages I thought it was "Wherever we go, we think of all disasters". I thought it was about being contemplative about people who'd been affected by wars and things.
My Brownie leader overheard me, cracked up laughing and told everyone, making me look like a fool. I've never really got over it. She shouldn't have been allowed to be a leader....

Abba - Waterloo

"Portaloo
Finally facing my Portaloo..."

Santa Puncher

Well, this is mum's rather than mine!

NEWeiz, she thought that 'The Hardest Button to Button' by The White Stripes went 'The Hardest ******* Toboggan'.

Before she told me this, I knew the correct words, but now when I hear it, I always think of Mum and smile to myself! XD

In Duran Duran's "The Reflex", I thought that "I'll cross that bridge when I find it was "I'll slap that bitch when I find it." I coudn't hear what "cross" was, but "bridge" definitely sounds like "bitch" to me.

Dresden Dolls - Thirty Wacks

I swear I kept hearing, 'Get hit with a chicken for loitering.' but it turns out to be a far more normal 'Ticket for Loitering.'

I prefer my version :)

Chicken

Up until about 1 minute ago, for the past couple of years i thought Macy Gray's song sang: I try to say goodbye and i choke, i try to walk away and i stumble, though i try to hide it its clear i blow bubbles when u r not here - - - when the last line was actually: my world crumbles when u r not here!!! *idiot* lol

The first line in Queen's 'I want it all' is
Adventure seeker.
But I always thought it said
Adventure seagull.
I can still picture the seagul in an Indiana Jones Costume. he he.

For "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, I misheard

"I really really really wanna zigazigah!"

as

"I really really really wanna sing you this song!".

But my version makes A LOT more sense. So I still sing it like that. And people say "So THAT'S how it goes!".

I put submitted this to another website under a fake name, but I don't think they ever used it...When I was listening to a mxpx cd (crappy cd, by the way) my mom mishead a line that goes 'I'm so tired of masquerading' as 'I'm so tired of masturbating' She told me she wouldn't allow her daughter to listen to such filth! I had to show her lyrics to get her to believe me.

I still am not telling my name
