The old classic by the Go-Go's "Our Lips are Sealed" I used to think they said "honest I see you"

Years ago when I had my first job I worked with a girl who thought that McCartney's "Mull of Kintyre", was called "Bollocking Time". She actually went around singing that.

For quite a while in the late 90's, I thought that Alanis Morissette was singing about a "cross-eyed bear" that she had received.

(Told to me by my friend's father) In the song "Take a chance on me" by Abba, he believed they were saying, "Chick-a-chazz on me." He said, "I didn't have any idea what a chick-a-chazz was, but I liked the song."

Tina Moore, "Never Gonna Let You Go", late 90's....
True Lyrics: "Worth more than a million in gold"
What I heard: "Football alluminium and go".
An alluminium football? How strange...

I used to believe that there was a prince song about a RED SPHERICAL DRESS, the kind you find in a second hand store...
I believed it until I heard someone call this song by another name on the radio this morning. I am 25.

When I was a little kid and I watched the movie "Grease", I would listen to the song "You're the one that I love" and think that they were saying "You're the wambanabo."

In Hanson's M-Bop..we use to sing "m-bop paper towels, I do Bop, Chili Dogs, I do"... I am pretty sure now that is not it, but I still don't know the correct lyrics!

I used to think the song by Neil Young, Ohio went like this:
Twin soldiers and fixin's comin
We're finally on a phone
This summer I hear the drumming
Forgetting Ohio

These are the real lyrics:
Tin Soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

Gimme a break...I was 5 yrs old!

Alright everybody, you know the Eagles song, "Witchy Woman"? I used to sing it as "bitchy woman," thinking that I was singing it right. And you know their song "Get Over it"? I used to think he said "...find your little child and kick it in the grass" instead of "...find your little child and kick it's little ass."

Bitchy Woman (in the grass)

I used to sing along with bohemian rhapsody by queen- "spare him his life from his monstrosity" was "spare him his life for his mum's new settee" and "beelezebub has a devil put aside for me" was "the owls that hoot had a neville in a side for me". i was scandalised that a mother would consider her new settee over the life of her son :s

untill about ayear ago I used to think that Elton Johns song tiny dancer went "hold me close don't tie me down son" when really he was saying "hold me close now tiny dancer". My version didn't make any sense : )

I'm a child of the 80's/90's and loved Roxette. I knew all of the words - or so I thought - and would sing along all the time.
I recently found out that "I'm gonna get dressed for simon says" is really "I'm gonna get dressed for success" That makes more sense since the song is called Dressed for Success...

I used to think the lyrics to the song "Shout" (when I heard it sung by Edith Bowman on Celebrity Fame Academy, I have a copy of that) went

"I still remember when I used to be your nineties whore"

Instead of

"I still remember when you used to be nine years old"

I could not understand why a 15 year old would sing such a thing - especially seeing as the nineties had not happened when it was released!

In that Frankie Goes to Hollywood song, 'Relax', I used to think that he sang...

Relax
Don't do it,
When you want to suck a Chewit

I only realised it wasn't this when I looked on a lyrics website the other day.

When I was younger I use to love the song "Rock you like a hurricane."
I thought they sang: Rock you like a Burger King!

I use to sing it all of the time and my dad's like, Ash, that's not the way it goes!

Last month I heard the song "Living on a Prayer" (I'm 15), and I thought it was "Living on a Brayer," as in a donkey ('cause they bray). I was convinced it was about a guy riding cross-country on a donkey: "We're halfway there," meant they were near Oklahoma.

I used to think in that one song "he's a jolly good fellow" then it said "he's a johnny good fellow". I always wondered who johnny was and why they sang about him when the song was in honer of someone else.
