Have you ever thought the lyrics to a song were something other than what they really were?

“A year has passed since I broke my nose” in the Police’s Message in a bottle! It was really “A year has passed since I wrote my note.” My brother ribbed me for months!!
And I always sing “Fly once more like you did before” in Abba’s Chiquitita and it’s try not fly! No hope for me really
all the time! i like to think they are about me too!
for years i thought that scar tissue song was about scott tissue. couldn’t figure out 1. why they wrote a song about scott tissue 2. why the rest of the lyrics didn’t make sense with the chorus.
used to think the james reyne song called 1 more river was 1 more record
Don’t know why
Just about EVERY song!! Of course at the moment I can’t come up with an example, but yes, I’m notorious for singing the wrong lyrics!!
Yeah, a lot. I strain to listen and still wonder ‘what did they just say?’
Well yeah!! As a child I had no clue! Cracks me up when my kids make up their own lyrics!
I can’t think of the best one just now… if I do, I’ll come back.
It’s making me smile even though I can’t remember it.
Oh yes and I blame the crummy am radios from the 70′s. There’s an old song by the Four Classics that is supposed to go, “Every day with you, girl, is sweeter than the day before” which I thought was “every day with you, girl, is sweeter than a baby boy”! Which my kid self used to wonder, “what the heck?! Guys don’t like babies!”
Yes!!!! But my sister is more well known for her misheard lyrics! This website is hilarious to look up words you THOUGHT were in songs! (and yes, if you thought it was something else…..other people have written in about it! My dad used to think “Addicted to Love” was “A Dick Head in Love!” Then, my sister always thought “Oh Sherry’s” beginning…..”Should have been gone….. “was …..”Cinnamon gum……. ” Seriously, if you’ve ever said the wrong words to any song, look this site up! You’ll love it!

I have to add this: my son thought that the Sophie B. Hawkins song, “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” was “BAM! The Shovels Of Love”. At the time, I didn’t want to tell a 5 year old that is was “damn” not “bam”.
Definitely! My brother was funnier though, he used to think that “Bring your juke box money” from the B-52′s Love Shack was “Bring your juice box money.” I still sing it that way.
I’m also pretty sure that the opening song from the Lion King starts with “Ayyyee, Pennsylvania.”
“Glycerine” by BUSH.
Ok so I knew the word was Glycerine, but I still sang it as Listerine.
Now Nirvana’s “Teen Spirit” I thought I was singing the words wrong, turns out I wasn’t.
“A mulatto, an albino. A mosquito, my libido”: Really?!
