misheard lyrics

I always thought the song Blinded by the light went "Wrapped up like a dousche, another runner in the night"

Dawn

When Micheal Jackson's song "Man in the mirror" was out, there is a part that goes, "As I turn up the collar on... my favorite winter coat, this thing is blowin' my mind!"

but "I" heard... As I burned up the flower board.. my favor went to cord!" (of course at the time on One Life to Live the big deal was Max and Tina or Cord and Tina... I thought Mike favored Cord! LOL

But even worse, I have this friend - Gloree, who thought that Micheal Jackson's Rock with you - was about Sylvester Stallones "Rocky II" so instead of singin, "I wanna rock with you... all night", she sang, "I wanna Rocky two... all night!"
SHE's stoop!

When I was young, I thought the line from the (U.S.) national anthem, "the dawn's early light," was actually "the dawnzerly light." I couldn't for the life of me figure out what dawnzerly meant.

i thought in elton john's "tiny dancer'' the chorus was "hold me closer tony danza"

d.a.

When two of my brothers were younger they insisted "Two turned tables and a microphone" was actually "Ding dong diddles and a microphone"

I always knew they weren't too bright.

Ok I'm 24 years old right now and I just realized 2 weeks ago that in Huey Lewis's song he sings, "It's hip to be square". All these years I thought it was, "Let's hit the B-Square."

I just happened to think of the song the other day and I told myself it doesn't make any sense, then it dawned on me that it's HIP TO BE SQUARE.

An idiot

My favorite band is Panic! at the Disco, but when I first heard them, I couldn't understand most of their lyrics. For example, in Time to Dance, I thought the line
"Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams"
was
Buzomy boys, hiding in estrogen and learning other kids dreams."
I've always had trouble with lyrics.

I don't think anyone understands the words to Michael Jackson's song "Don't Stop "Til You Get Enough," including me.

When I was a kid I thought the chorus said "GET UP TO THE POST OFFICE" but the actual words are "KEEP ON WITH THE FORCE DON'T STOP"

I still didn't understand the words until I purchased the recording in the late nineties.

DRM

The Ratt song "Scene of the Crime" has a part that says "You broke the law in the first degree, cold blooded bitch goin' out on me". I always thought it said "You broke the law in the Krispy Kreme".
It made sense, I figured he saw his chick with some other dude out in the doughnut shop eating doughnuts!

Mona Lisa

I always loved the song "Puff the Magic Dragon" but I also thought it was the saddest song ever, and sometimes it would make me cry, but I liked it anyway.

I always thought the little boy Jackie Paper died and misheard the lyrics "Painted wings and giant rings make way for other TOYS" as "Painted wings and giant rings make way for other BOYS", since Jackie Paper had died.

I continued to believe this for a very long time and was very relieved to learn out the truth.

I swear to this day the the Hot Hot Heat song, Running Out Of Time, has potty lyrics.
He really says "I'm galloping off to meet my bride to be." I SWEAR he says "I can't open up to me my butt to pee". LISTEN TO IT!!!!

Open your butt

Up until recently I was convinced that Micheal Jackson's "Don't stop till you get enough" went something like "Don't stop till you get to the bus stop". It was only when I was corrected a few weeks ago in the car by a friend that I realized my mistake. I'm now 25

Susan

The Abba song Chiquitita, I corrected a friend of mine who was wailing his version out at the top of his lungs! because he sang "Take your teeth out, tell me what is wrong" instead of "Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong "

My now ex-boyfriend pointed out that that what I thought were the real lyrics to the song Constant Craving by k.d. lang as I was singing 'Can't stand gravy' He insisted that the title didn't have the word gravy in it anywhere.

too embaressed to say

I used to think the Dexys Midnight Runners song "Come on Eileen" was "Mohamed Ali" and I always wondered why they sang about it but I couldn't find out because I didn't know the title or who the band was...
So I just added it on my itunes as "Mohamed Ali" by "Watchamacallit" until I saw the show "100 greatest 1 hit wonders", I was so happy to finally find out what they were saying.

Nicole

I used to think in Coming Undone by KoRn when it said "My brain is ticking like a bomb" it said his brain is "sticking like a bum." I was wondering... bums aren't very adhesive and even if they were, what was the one in this song sticking to?

Kara

I used to love Brian Adams and when I was about 10 I would listen to the song "im going to Run to you" except I never saw the lyrics so I was always really embarrassed when I listened to it around my mum 'cause I thought he was singing "runter" and in my warped 10 year old mind I thought "runter "meant to have sex!Years later when I found out he was saying im going to run- to- you I was in stitches!

Tara Grainger

Re the song "Brimful of asha". Recently heard my friend singing along, however she had slightly different lyrics. Hers were "Grim tooth basher". She's 27. However the same girl though that Madonnas "Like a virgin" was in fact "Like a bird king"

Karen

You know that remake of "our lips are sealed" Hillary and Hailey duff did? My mom was completely conviced it was saying "I love Lucile" and since in the video these two girls are crawling all over eachother, my mom was very disturbed and thought they were like together or something :P
