Ok, here are a couple I screwed up. There's alot but this is the one's I can think of off the top of my head:

Artist: Outkast
Song: Hey Ya
Lyrics I thought it said: "Shake it like a porno white feature"

Real lyrics: "Shake it like a polaroid picture"

Wow, way off!!! My friend laughed so hard at me when she heard me singing it.

The other one is a childhood song and I can't remember the real words (maybe someone else will) by Shari Lewis and lambchops (i think?)
I thought it was just jumbled words but it really says something....

Here is what I thought it said:
"lambsedotes and dozeydotes and little lambs of ivy

I don't think I've heard that song by Outkast, but it sounds hilarious!

-and this: "lambsedotes and dozeydotes and little lambs of ivy"... I've heard lampchop singing that too. Here I go again... Ummmm... Isn't that what she's really saying? What is she really saying then?

The only lyrics that I can think of (right now) that I got wrong was the hymn Lord of the Dance - bearing in mind, I was 5 at the time!

What I was convinced it was!
Dance, Dance wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance Settee

What it really is:
Dance, Dance wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance Said He!

I was so convinced it was that and would argue with my parents and Nana for ages, trying to convince them!

That's too cute Sarah! I would rate that at bags for arguing so long about it!

Real lyrics:

"Lambs eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you?"

Of course, I thought the last line was 'a kiddily divy too'.

Ok, Mick Jagger is one to always sing lyrics that you can't quite make out. In Jumpin' Jack Flash, I always thought he said:

"I was raised by 2 lesbians in drag..."

Real lyrics
"I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag"

which, in all honestly is just as bizarre.

two gems from my family:

"dont cry from me argentina"

my sister heard:

"dont cry for me aunty tina."

she thought it was a song someone was singing to their aunt!

Outkasts "sorry ms jackson"

my mum was singing "officer jackson" for a long time.

oh and has anyone EVER got the words to Queen's "bohemian rhapsody" RIGHT?

Being a huge Queen fan, I know them, but I remember a time when I didn't.

How about King of Pain by the Police? There's lyrics in that song I messed up for years.

i learnt the lyrics purely so i could laugh at others who dont

Ok, here's one:

Don't Stand So Close to Me (by the Police)

What I thought it said:
This girl's an open page
But Mark, eh, she's so close now.....

Real lyrics:
Book marking she's so close now

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson

Real Lyrics
Keep up with the force. Don't stop.

What I heard
Keep on with the 4-star stuff

My husband is a musician part-time and he used to play with this one band where the singer would change the words to the songs (and usually make them a little riskÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]) and nobody in the crowd or on the dance floor would even notice! I'd be sitting there laughing like a fool and the band were cracking up.

If memory serves (which it does so much less frequently these days ) this was originally a Bing Crosby ditty. I learned it in first grade from my *ancient* teacher (she did retire two years later)

It goes:

Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you?

OR, if you're feeling particularly silly, I've SEEN the lyrics written this way:

Marezy dotes and doesie dotes and liddlam seedivy, a kiddly divy too wouldn't you.

I had the same problem y'all did w/Blinded by the Light primarily because the real lyrics didn't make any more sense to me than my made up ones!!

I'm really bad about getting lyrics right, I think because my OCD kicks in and I hate to be wrong

The real lyrics are:

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me...

What I thought the lyrics were: Well let's just say that I thought "were laid spread out before me" was something different. If you think about it, you'll get it.

I thought it was
"untouched sheets on bed"
which was only cemented by the woman's supposed position on that bed. ;-)

Ok, while I was out running errands today, I heard what I think is my most misheard song of all time: Stairway to Heaven. I actually had to come home and look up the lyrics on the net. Several examples follow.

What they say
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

What I hear
And the voices of those who stand lurking

What they say
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune

What I hear
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the June

What they say
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

What I hear
If there's a bustle in your hedgehog
Don't be alone, man
It's just a sprinkling part of the May Queen

What they say
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

What I hear
And every wine on down the road
There is something you should know
There walks a lady we all know
Who shames us all right before the show
How everything is set to go
And if you listen very hard
It will come to you - aha
When all woman there is tall
You need a rock and that's a lot

That's about a 10-bagger -

My favorite misinterpreted lyric was done by my friend's husband. I'm not sure of the song title, but it's by Stevie Nicks.

Lyric-"Like a white-winged dove"
What he thought-"Like a one-winged dove"

He thought it was the stupidest song since it was about a bird that couldn't fly (actually, it's about a woman having a relationship with a younger man).

There is a Faith Hill song, "I can't do that anymore", that at least two people I know, but don't know each other, thought said something else.

What They Heard
Last night I dreamed about a-washin' my sheets.

Real Lyrics
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine.



Yup, I grew up around a bunch of country bumpkins, who can turn washing machine into a-washin' muh sheets.
