misheard lyrics

On the bus in kindergarten, the big kids would sing the song that goes "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves" etc. Well anyway, I thought they were saying "I know a song that gets an extra Suzy verse", and since my name is Suzanna, I thought they were singing about me. Also, there was this one sharp turn we always came to, and they would chant "SHARP TURN! SHARP TURN!" but I thought they were saying "SHARK TURD! SHARK TURD!" Sometimes I'd sing along with them.

I was litsening to some song By macy Gray on the radio in the car with my very musical 3 year old brother, and the lyrics go : ' My world bobbles when your not here', and it was completely hilarious when he attempted to sing along as he started to sing ' i wore goggles up your side rear'!

aah!

I used to think the 80's song "Our Lips are Sealed" was "Olives are Seals"

In the beginning of Climax Blues Bands song "I Love You' I thought it went: When I was, a younger man, I'd hide in a can. It's really " I hadn't a care." I think.

part of John Mellencamp's song "jack and diane" said, "suckin on a chili dog; the outisde tastes freezed." but i thought he said, "run along, chili dog; your butt is green."

when I was little, I thought that in TLC's song dont go chasing waterfalls, the line went "don't go Jason Waterfall".

I used to think the lyrics in a Jimmie Hendrix song went, "excuse me while I kiss this guy", instead of "excuse me while I kiss the sky"...LOL!

my four year old little girl always sings son of a creature man instead of sun of a preacher man!

You know that song by Uncle Kracker...it goes
Give Me the Beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock n' roll....
I thougt it was...
Give me the beach boys and smooth my soul I wanna get down with your rock n' roll....

....I screamed it out the car window

When my son was about 4 or so, the song "Save Tonight" was on the radio all of the time. The line "save tonight, and fight the break of dawn" was sung by him as "save tonight, w dot com"!

when we were younger and first heard that adamski song 'killer'the line where he says 'solitary brother, solitary sister' or something like that, we honestly thought he was singing 'dance with me mother, dance with me sister'
we often wondered why the hell he was singing a song about dancing with his mum and his sister? yeah true that is.

Ever since I was little,I thought that the man sung about in "Come a little bit closer" by Jay Black and the Americans had a very good reason to dance with the other man's girl since I thought the song went "she belonged to bad man Jose" instead of "She belonged to that man Jose" So naturally if Jose was such a bad man, she deserved this other guy.

When I was a kid I was completely convinced that Sade's "Smooth operator" was "Ooh of the red eye".

My husband still has a hard time hearing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" without singing the perceived alternate lyrics - "what in the world can they eh-stun".

I laugh and laugh at him.

When I was about six, I often wondered what a "weewill" was, because my teacher used to play that song about the weewill.

"Weewill, wewill, rock you!"

Shirley B.

on the song Hot Patootie by Meatloaf from the rocky horror picture show where he sings
'id taste her baby pink lipstick' i always thought he was saying
'my taste a baby uptumstick'
i still wonder what a uptumstick is and why a baby would have one
i always thought it was a huge weapon so why was he licking it!?!

I used to think that the lyric to the ABC tune, 'Shoot that Poison Arrow' was 'Shake that Boy's Afro'

A former girlfriend used to believe the lyrics to "Big Old Jet Airliner" were "Figaro gave me a lighter" and my younger sister believed the lyrics to Eric Clapton's song "Alibis" were "I love flies."
