misheard lyrics

In the song "Sugar, We're Going Down Swinging" by Fall Out Boy, I thought the lyrics went:
"Is this more than you want to forget?"
when they really go:
"Is this more than you bargained for yet?"
I didn't know until I had looked up the lyrics one day!

Another one..I was listening to the song "Niki FM" by Hawthorne Heights and I thought they said:
"Solitude, black and white"
when they were saying:
"The silence in black and white" Until I was singing the song and my friend pointed it out. Then she laughed at me, but told me that she thought the same thing at first!

Last one..In the HIM song "Join Me" I thought that he was saying:
"So won't you join me in there"
when the lyrics really went:
"So won't you join me in death"
It was kind of funny. I realised my mistake when I found out the full song title was Join Me
(In Death) and was pondering the lyrics. hehe.

Remember dinosaurs and pink penguins knock your socks off. Rawr. :]

as it is nearly the world cup i will use a world cup song that i misheard lyrics to
with the song "3 Lions" by the lightning seeds i used to think that they were singing "3 lines on a shirt" and not the more obvious choice of lyrics "3 LIONS on a shirt"

I'm not even sure of the name of the song but I know that I used to sing:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hundred children and not a crop in the field"

But the actual lyrics were:

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field"

Believe me, my parents used to have me sing that for people all of the time!

Oh yeah, and I used to mess up Jingle Bells too, I'd sing it "horpin snorpin sleigh"

when I was little I overheard my father call my mother sexy, so I asked my mum what sexy meant she looked embarassed and told me that it was a naughty word and I should nt use it. The following day I asked my mum what Maging meant, she gave me a funny face and told me she did nt know, I thought it must be another naughty word. Infact I thought that it was a dirty word for years to come. I had heard the Gary Glitter song:
Do you wanna be a maging maging maging
Do you wanna be a maging oh ya

I thought, for a very long time, that in the song (I think it is by Joni Mitchell...) in which the line is 'Pave paradise, put up a parking lot' the line was really 'Gay pair of guys, put up a fucking lie'. I was corrected by a friend when we heard it in a large store and I commented on how I wouldn't have thought they could play a song with the f word in a mall.

Does anyone remember the song "secret agent man?" I used to think the lyrics were, "secret asian man." I thought it was a song about WWII.

I thought for years that the chorus to Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" were "If Papa don't breathe-I'm in trouble."

Wrong lyrics to a song, "Hotel California" - The Eagles.

I heard:

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell euculyptus
Rising up through the air.

(Real lines:...)
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air

Who the hell knows what 'colitas ' are? They sound like Arabian hookers, (if there's such a thing)!!!

I used to believe that the words to a church song "Gladly the cross I'd bear" was really about a bear named Gladly who was crosseyed.

Millie

I used to belive that K D Lang was a bit weird (go figure). She had a whole song dedicated to the fact that she didn't like Bisto.

It was in fact "Constant Craving", not "Can't Stand Gravy"

Annie has a monkey, has a monkey, Annie ... ok so english was my 3rd language at the time & Micheal was all over with Bubbles so ... It made sense that he mad a song about a girl Annie & her monkey ...one of those cartoon steeling monkeys, who's owner play's the accordeon while he takes wallets from an unsuspecting crowd...u know what i'm talking about ??

Up until about a year ago, I thought that in the George Michael song "Father Figure" he was saying "I'll be your bottom feeder". I thought it was a reference to a specific sex act common among gay males...

Cameron

at the beginning of the green day song Jesus of Sububia, the line is IM THE SON OF RAGE AND LOVE. as i listened to it with my friend he cluelessly sang, I JUST ROBBED A LADY LOVE.

i always thought it was Grape Balls of Fire instead of Great Balls of Fire

Rascals: Groovin....

It's still driving me crazy after 30 years

One New Year's Eve, my daughter's boyfriend - Then aged 29 - said "We'll be singing Hold Hands Arc tonight won't we"
She said "what?"
He: "You know, where you all hold your hands up in an arc."
How do you get to 29 years old not knowing Auld Lang Sine

My friends and I used to think that in Girls Aloud's song "Biology" instead of "if we party anymore, we'll start a fire of pure desire" it said "if we party anymore, we'll start a fight. I'll kill this guy"
We didn't understand why it was so violent...ha ha

I used to love that song that played before Friends. I used to sing along, too.
"So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a jojabro
Your love's lost you your way"

To answer any follow up questions, I have absolutely no idea what a jojabro is.

In 2nd grade we sang a song for our winter concert, I don't remember what it was called but it had one line that went "With the flutes I'll play my balalaika". Well, after practice I heard a friend sitting next to me singing to themself "With the fruits I'll play my but I like ya". We still joke about it to this day whenever someone mentions a flute or a balalaika.

I used to believe "I Want Candy" was actually "I'm A Kidney", especially since they played it in PE/health class at my school.
