misheard lyrics

On the Shinia(spelt wrong) Twain song, Womens progative or something I thought it was
"I cant believe you kiss your carpet knife"
Instead of
"I can believe you kiss your car at night"

Foolhardy

I always thought that this one song was called "yellow superstar" instead of "ghetto superstar". I really believed they were singing about a chinese superstar until my sister told me what it had to be .. they are still making fun of it!

In Nirvana's song "Dumb" I used to think the lyric "I think I'm dumb" was "Agatha don't." And for years I wondered, what was Agatha doing that was making Kurt Cobain so miserable?

Searching for Agatha

You might not have heard it, but "Father of Mine" by Everclear has a good misheard lyric of mine: Instead of, "My daddy gave me a name", I still like to think it says, "My daddy laid me an egg" ...
Also, that song that goes, "My boy's gonna play in the big league/My boy's gonna turn some heads/etc" (I can't think of the title or who sings it off the top of my head) ... But you know the song ... In the bridge, it sounds EXACTLY like he says, "You can hear the asscrack" and not "You can hear the ice crack".
Or, there's always the Steve Miller Band's "Bingo Jed Had a Lighter" ...
... Draw your own conclusions.

I used to think (I was about 7) that the Spice Girl's song "Tell Me What You Want" was "Minni Miini Maa" or some other dememted thing. I went around singing nonsense lyrics thinking I was "oh so cool". "Minni minni maa maa oh ma, yo minni maa.." SO stupid..and I never even understood the weird glances I was recieving until about 5 years later!

I used to think the Queen song 'Another one bites the dust' was
'Another one buys a duster'
I was really dissapointed when I heard the real lyrics!

my friend thought that the line from "in bloom" by nirvana, "I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you.
broke our mirrors." was actually "I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you, boogle ears." He couldn't explain to me what the word "boogle" meant or why it would be said in relation to someone's ears. Of course we teased him relentlessly.

In the song "Every Breath You Take" by the Police, I always thought the line - "How my poor heart aches" was "I'm a pool hall ace"

Teresa

When I was young, I thought that in "Chapel Of Love" by The Dixie Cups they said "Going to the jack-a-lantern, Gonna to get married" instead of "Going to the chapel, And we're gonna get married".

I used to think it was a hallowe'en song, and wondered why I never heard it on October 31st.

For a long time I thought in Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," when the lyrics go "Count the headlights on the highway," he was singing, "Count the head lice on the highway."

I wondered what could be romantic about that...

My grandma and I were in the car when the song "Trying to find Atlantis" came on. The lyrics went like-- trying to find the perfect man is like trying to find atlantis-- My grandma looked at me and said "Did she just say 'Trying to find the perfect manyase (sorry, my spelling stinks) is like trying to find the lettuce'?" I laughed so hard after that!

I used to think Elvis' "I'm All Shook Up" was "A Mushy Cup". How sad of me to confuse the lyrics of a king...

Sad, Sad, Girl

My husband used to think the lycrics to Winter Wonderland in the meadow we can build a snowman then pretend that he's a passing clown!
The actuall words being then pretend that he is parson Brown

That in "Superman" by Stereophonics, the line goes "you got a penis but you ain't got news"

i kept on wondering why that matters. i've seen lots of male news presenters.

I think it's meant to be "opinions" but it doesnt sound that way...

Gill M

My friend thought that the song "beautiful soul," when he sings, "you're the one i want to chase," she thought it was "you're the one i want to taste." i was laughing at her forever

I thought "We built this cioty on rock n' roll" said.. "We milked this city" and I even imagined a rock group in a high school getting flooded with milk. :| Yes, I know.

I use to think the lyrics to Kenny Rogers song Lucille was......You picked a fine time to leave me lucille, with 400 children.... I was like 6....i didn't understand the "concept" of 400 children, or I might have thought twice about it.

I always thought up until recently, that the Oak Ridge Boys song, "Elvira" said "Hell Fire-Up". I thought this was somekind of song to make you go to church to keep from hell's flames firing up on you.

In the song 'you sexy thing' by Hot Chocolate, I used to think that the opening line 'I believe in miracles' was actually 'I believe in Michael' and I often wondered why Errol Brown & Co were singing about a bloke called Michael who was apparently a very 'sexy thing' hehe
