misheard lyrics

the sheryl crow song "all i wanna do, is have some fun..."
it was only until a short while ago i figured out what she was saying "until the sun comes up over sani-moni-cupple-a-vord"
nothing to do with santa monica then?

My dad used to sing along to madonna's Erotic in the car when he was taking me and my 13 year old friends to the school disco. This in itself is cringy enough, but he used to sing
"You got it, you got it...." Instead of "Erotic, erotic" by mistake which had all my friends in silent hysterics and daring each other to tell me dad the real lyrics. I got slagged off for my dorky dad for about two years after that.
Also me and my sister used to think that the Fine Young Cannibals were singing "Milkshake, where have you gone?" instead of "Lucy". Thought they had a bit of a Macdonalds obsession

My mum always thought the lyrics to macy grays song was i try to say goodbye to my chook.

When I was about 5, I thought the song by Tina Turner..'What's love got to do with it,' was 'What's love Dr. Doolittle,' I thought it was so cool that she would sing a song about a guy that talked to animals.

My friend's little brother, Drew, thought the song "You're the One that I Want" from Grease was "You're the one in the boat".

I always thought Hot Chocolate were singing 'You Sexy PIG' instead of 'You sexy Thing.

My church has a traditon; every Sunday morning, everyone who has had a birthday during the week goes to the front of the church while the congregation sings 'Happy Birthday' to them. Only we had a slightly different version of Happy Birthday to make it 'church appropriate'. It went; "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, god bless you and keep you, another year through."

I thought until quite recently 'God bless you and keep you' was 'God bless you, Ankie Beau'. I figured 'Ankie Beau' was another one of those weird, archaic phrases like those in the hymn book.

I had a friend (I swear it was a friend....) who thought the lyric in the song "Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes was really "Her lip goes up when we're alone." What a dumbass!

I used to believe that in The Killers "Mr. Brightside" that instead of "Open up my eager eyes" he said "Open up my ears and eyes", until one day my sister started cracking up lauging at me and told me what it really was.

My across the street neighbor (who was about 7 at the time) swore up and down that the words to Travis Tritt's song "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" went "I spilled tea all over you and me"... you couldn't convince her otherwise.

She also thought that song "Mi Vida Loca" by Pam Tillis went "...I take corners onto hills" instead of "I take corners on two wheels" (a little geographically challenged I think) and "it's a never ending circus ride, we know farts need not apply"... instead of "faint of heart need not apply". I suggested she just turn off the radio and never listen again.

Amy

i used to think that the song 'cotton eyed joe' was called ' grandpa joe'!
after singing it i front of every1 at my auntys wedding, my sister kindly pointed out the real words. people still laugh at me whenever they hear that song!

I used to believe that In Pink Floyd's The Wall the lyrics were, "The Dukes of Hazard in the classroom." The actual lyrics are "The doctors have us in the classroom."
Ok, can you tell I was born in '74?!

Beatles - Ticket To Ride

"She's got a chicken to ride
She's got a chicken to ri-hi-hide
She's got a chicken to ride
And she don't care
My baby donkey..."

We used to think Kirsty Mc Call's Theirs a Guy Works Down the Fishshop swears he's Elvis, He's a liar and I'm not sure about You.- was-There's a guy works down the fish shop wears his helmet, he's alive but I'm not sure about you.

The song by Alanis Morissette, I don't remember the name, but the real line is "It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me you, you, you oughta know"
But I always thought she said "It's not fair to deny my of the 'cross-eyed' bear the you gave to me" So I pictured a cross-eyed teddy bear.

My friend Cindy's mom thought the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with diamonds said "the girl with colitis goes by " rather than "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes"

Somebody to love by queen actually says the line
'I spend all my years in believing you'
it is NOT
'i spit on my ears and believe in you'
like i used to think.
oops.

I used to be a digimon freak when I was a kid... and in one of the songs they sing, "gonna make your plans and fly"

...

amazingly I heard, "I think my plant just died"

In the Fall Out Boy song "Of all the Gin Joints in The World" I could have sworn the line
"And, oh, the way your make up stains my pillowcase"
was actually
"And, oh, the way you make me seize my pillowcase"
I have no idea why though. Maybe Patrick Stump is in to smothering people?
