misheard lyrics

I used to think the title of Savage Garden's "The Animal Song" was actually "Run through the Jungle" - fair enough, you might say. But I also used to think the line "I want to live like animals" actually said "I want to live like a cannonball". Thinking about it now, I realise it makes no sense, considering the rest of the song, but it didn't bother me at the time.

When i was younger i used to think the lyrics to "Smack that" were "backpack, left on the floor"

My mom used to think that the line "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in," from England Dan's "I'd really love to see you tonight" was actually "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen" (a reference to sheets).

I thought in 12 days of Christmas song that "1 partridge in a pear tree" was actually a cartridge in a pear tree (I didn't know what "partridge" was, so I thought the word was "cartridge" but I didn't know why they put it in a tree), and "2 turtle doves" was actually 2 turtles and 2 doves.

When I was little, I thought the lyric in The Beatles' "Something" that goes, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe and how" went, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe in cow."

My mom had recently explained to me that George Harrison practiced Hinduism, thus I thought it was perfectly logical for him to write a song about a cow.

The Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

Correct lyric: Can I believe the magic of your sighs
What I hear: Can I believe the magic of your size

Much to my shame I was a Shakin' Stevens fan as a kid, and he had this song called "A Letter to You"..and I spent my childhool wondering what on earth "oh oh you don't know that a tiggarain bar and sent it off in a letter to you" meant, until I heard the song years later and worked out he was in fact singing "oh oh you don't know that I took a rainbow, and sent it off in a letter to you"!!! what a twit....!!!

Remember the theme song from the Winnie the Pooh eighties/early nineties? It goes, "Pooh bear, Winnie the Pooh bear, searchin' for fun, oh, won't you take me please? Pooh bear, I know he's out there. Rumbly tumbly, climb in a honey tree," and then there is another verse that starts. To this day I don't know what the real words are, but when I was little, and even now, it sounds so me like, "How could this cancerous, be so advancerous? it does this now and again." then back to normal "And when you're alone and there's nobody home, it's nice to be able to count on a friend like Pooh bear."

SO.. the man singing the pooh bear song is cancerous?

When I was younger, we had a record player in my basement. My brother and I would listen to the Beegees, because they were out favourite out of all the records down there.

When I use to listen to staying alive I always thought the lyrics opposed to the actual ones

"Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born."

Were:

"You can tell a Willy Wonka,
Saying Gingerale, no time to talk."

I find it pretty hilarious since, that is absolutley not close to it. Up to a few weeks ago when I googled the lyrics, I truthfully had no idea what they were- and believed they were somewhere close to my misheard lyrics.

I thought the words to Put Your Records On by Corrine Bailey-Rae were "sapphire naked dreams" when they're really "sapphire faded jeans"!

I used to think these were the words to "Under my Umbrella"

Alcual words: I took an oath and I'm stickin to it till the end

What I thought: I will take a tack and stick you to the end.

Remember the song from the '60's, "Beauty's Only Skin Deep"? Until I was 20, I thought the title was, "Do You Wanna See Me". I thought I was showing my worldliness and maturity when I sang it one day...that is, until my 31 year old friend laughed himself off a sofa while correcting me.

I could never understanding what was so wrong with being ; ( Born between two lovers ) until years later in high school when I realized it was; ( Torn between two lovers. )

I used to think that in the song "Fly on the Windscreen" by Depeche Mode Dave Gahan said, "There are lands for the Sultan, waiting to die" but just recently I found out that he really says, "There are lambs for the slaughter, waiting to die"

The song: Do They Know It's Christmas Time

I went to Church camp when I was ten, and we sang a song called "Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man from Galilee". I thought it went "Put your hand in the hand that spilled the water" ( it actually was actually STILLED the water)and the next verse was I thought ;Put your hand in the hand of man who climbed the tree" ( actually "calmed the sea".

I thought the lyrics to "Single Ladies" were "If you liked it, then you should've put your name on it."

I thought the song Smooth Operator by Sade sounded like Rudolph the Reindeer. Also thought Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carne sounded like 'Better days to decide'.
