misheard lyrics

In that Alanis Morrissette song that goes like "It's not fair.....to deny me...of the cross I bear that you gave to me, you you you oughta know!" Yeah its called u oughta know well anyway when I was five i heard: "It's not fair, to the night air, of the cross eyed bare that you're naked me, yoodle yoodle yoodle otter no!" I thought it was about a girl whose boyfriend made her stand outside in the cold one night holding an otter and yodeling.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

When I was about 6 I used to believe that a line in Abba's 'Take A Chance On Me' was 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid I would love a bear'. Actually it is 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair'.

Misheard lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and don't be so gay.

Real lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

stupid

Theres a punk song called "Ruby Soho". In the song the lyrics go "He's singing and she's there to lend a hand, He's seen his name on the marquee but she won't ever understand" I misheard the lyrics as "He's single and she's down giving head , He's seen this dame at the market and she won't ever understand" I found out the real lyics after embaressing singing mine in front a old friend. I now know. In my defense the lead singer has a very rough, slurry voice and he's hard to hear right a lot.

not a punk rocker

In the song "Time To Dance" by Panic! At The Disco, there's a part that goes

"But they believe it from the tears
and the teeth
Right down to the blood at her feet.
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing aubergine dreams."

What I heard was:
"And they believe it from the tears
and the teeths
Right down to the bond energy
Boys will be boys, hiding their ass in aubergine jeans."

Actual Lyrics:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading


Misheard:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masterbating
Inside my hope is fading

Until very recently I thought that the lyrics to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman were "city lights spread out before us, your arms and legs wrapped round my shoulders..." Instead of "your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulders"
Can't imagine how I thought someone could drive a fast car in that position....

fan of contortionists

I used to think the line, "I'm not big on social graces," in "Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks was actually, "I'm not big on sausage gravy."

Which I thought was nutty because my dad made excellent sausage gravy and how could anyone not like sausage gravy?

My brother used to think "Kung-Fu Fighting" was actually "When It Comes To Fighting."

I used to think the song 'play that funky music' actually said 'play that f**kin' music, white boy!' and it confused the hell out of me, because i thought that you couldn't say 'f**k' o tv or radio. I thought that till i was like, 13 and heard my sister singing it the right way.

F**kin' music white gril

I always thought the childrens song here comes the bride had i line that said "all dressed and WIDE." I thought it was a fat bride.

In "the anthem" by good charlotte, it still sounds to me like he's saying "I never use the restroom" in a slurred voice at the end when he really says "Another loser anthem, woah!" lol

Amused

I used to think that the song"Stayin Alive" said "Staying In Line" like at school when I was little.

When I was little I thought the song line "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" was actually "take a piece of meat with you." I imagined a girl leaving with a big steak or something. The worst part is my parents would hear me sing it and they thought it was so cute they didn't bother to correct me.

I loved the song "Flying North" by Thomas Dolby as a kid. When I was about nine I was listening to the song one day and it suddenly struck me; there was a bad word in the song! The line was "N*ggers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." I was so shocked, I couldn't stop crying. However, on further listen, I concluded that the word must have been "knickers" to make "Knickers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." Ahh, I was a lot happier after that.

(It's actually "Lincoln".)

Back when I was younger, I got very into Ricky Martin music. Remember his song, "Shake Your Bon-Bon?" Well, there's a line in there where he says,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you my Juliet?"

However, when I heard this line, it got all slurred together in my ears, and I heard it as,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you magillient?"

"Magillient" isn't a real word by any stretch of the imagination, but since I was convienced that that was what he was singing, I tried to look it up in the dictionary. The closest word I could find was "malignant," which according to the dictionary ment "a life-threatening cancerous tumor."

Thus, I believed that Ricky Martin had some kind of strange cancer fetish.

I was about 10 when I started to get into theatre. My grandparents took me and my cousin to go see Mamma Mia! on Broadway. I liked it so much that I got the soundtrack. In the actual song titled "Mamma Mia!", Donna sings, "I can't count all the times I've cried over you." Up until a couple weeks ago, I though she was saying "I camped out all the times I cried over you." I pictured a scenario in which she couldn't even sleep in the same house with the guy.
