misheard lyrics

I used to think the words to Chumbawumbas "tubthumping' were "i hate no doubt/ but i get over it/ but im never gonna like no doubt/" seeing as I loved no doubt (still do) I hated that song!!!

No Doubt FOREVER!

A Macy Gray song went like this:

I try to say goodbye and i choke
try to walk away and i stumble
when i try to hide it, its clear, my world crumbles when you are not there

I used to believe it went like this:

I try to say goober and achoooo
try to walk away and i stamp balls
when i tried to hide it, its clear, i blow bubbles when you are not there

My sister and I crack up everytime we think about it.

My little brother for the londest time thought "How Bizare, How bizare." went "How's the bar, How's the car."

My mom thought that Chumbawumba's Tub Thumping went "I got no towels, but I get up again" ("I get knocked down, but I get up again"). She had no idea what it meant and told me and my siblings it was a stupid song because it didn't make sense.

When he was little my brother thought the words to the song "Watch out here she comes/ she's a man eater" were really "Watch out here she comes she's an anteater." Always made me think I was safe because those anteaters only liked men.

I used to think in Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" The line "A mosquito, my libido!" was "I'm afraid of, Albino!" I sung it out loud like that numerous times.

Sounds Like teens Singing

I used to think the lyrics of "Boys of Summer" said "poison summer"

In The Bee Gees' 'Too Much Heaven' where Barry says 'Ooh you and me girl', I thought for years that he said 'Ooh you nigger' and was quite upset that he had said this and had been allowed to get away with it.

when i was younger i thought the chorus to 'Lucille' was 'with four hundred children, the crops and the field' when it was actually 'four hungry children, the crops and the field'

I used to think that the song on Dirty Dancing called "she's like the wind" that line that says "just a fool to believe I have anything she needs." I thought instead of "just a fool" I thought it said "Jessie poo" so I always told my parents I wanted to listen to the Jessie Poo song. They never understood what I was talking about.

When I was about 7, I always thought that instead of ''who you gonna call... Ghost Busters!'' was sung ''who ya gonna haul... roast pop-tarts!''

up until recently, I thought the Housmartin's version of the song "He ain't heavy" went like this:
"So on we go - to where there is mountain sun" instead of "his welfare is of my concern".

Romantic, really, having to drag that big fella through the mountains...

galah

up until last year i thought that the song that goes "goin' to the chapel and i'm gonna get married" went "goin' to the jack-o-lantern and its gonna be scary"

My dad thought the lyrics to Girls Aloud, "Jump" were "If you want to take my temperature tonight" Instead of "If you want to taste my kisses in the night"

when i was a kid, i used to think that the Adam & the ants song 'stand and deliver' was actually 'stan, heres your dinner, your honey or your wife'

molly-coddles

instead of 'buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks' my little sister sings 'buy me some peeps and some apple jacks'

When Kate Bush first had a hit with the song 'Wuthering Heights' I and my sister then aged 8 & 10 actually thought the chorus went like this,

'Wee wee, its me, I'm a tree, I'm a wombat, so cold at the end of your winter'

And then we heard 'gypsies, tramps & thieves' by Cher, but thought she was singing 'Gipsy Chimpanzees'

Until recently, when I realized it didn't make any sense, I thought the words to Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" were:
Keep on doin' the porn star stuff,
Don't stop 'til you get enough!

(the real words are Keep On With The Force Don't Stop...)

My friend's four-year old daughter sang us some lyrics from the OutKast song "Hey Yeah". They sing "shake it like a Polaroid picture", but my friend's daughter proudly sang it as: "Shake it like a POLAR BEAR picture". We didn't correct her, and now we sing it that way, too.

Firstly one of my own. I used to think (up until not long ago) that the line in the Bee Gees 'How deep is you love' - 'and you come to me on a summer breeze' was 'and you come to me on a submarine'

Now my wifes and I've heard her singing these.

J. Geils band - centrefold - 'My angel on the cellaphone'

Clash. I fought the law - 'I fought the Lord'

The cure - Love cats - The line 'We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty' translates in her mind as ' one free one free one free one free city'

Hmmm...
