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 thougt it wuz "Shake it like a polka-dot teacher"

Here come the jesters 1-2-3
OMG I'm laughing so hard! I thought they were saying Jetsons, too!

The other really funny one I read on a web site of misheard lyrics. Some young kid misheard the lyrics to O Canada - the real lyrics, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. The kid heard, O Canada, we stand on cars and freeze.
He got the freeze part right.

after browsing through this lengthy thread I was laughing too hard to think of anything I've misinterpreted in the past!

Great thread idea!!




As I wrote this I did think of one. It is by the Barenaked Ladies - One Week.

The real lyrics are:

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on.
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one.

I used to sing:
Chicken from China, Chinese chicken
I want a drumstick and my brain keeps tickin'
Watchin x-files with the lights on
We're .... (didn't know what that said)
I hope he's smoking in this one.

OKay, this one may be a little inappropriate, but I have to say it..

Avril Lavignes song "Things I'll never say"

The real lyrics "If I could say what I want to see, I want to see you go down...on one knee..."

I thought "If I could say what I want to see, I want to see you go down...on me"


Seriously, if you listen to that song..it sounds like she says that!

Yes, I thought it said that too. I guess it does make a bit more sense that way LOL!

Every Time You Go Away by Paul Young

Actual Lyrics:
Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you

What I thought/sang:
Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you
(don't judge, I was probably only 4 years old)

My brother had a good one when he was about 7yrs old......
All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow

Actual lyrics:
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd

He sang:
Until the sun comes up over Santa Claus' bowl of love

How cute is that????

He also thought that Proclaimers song went "I would walk 500 miles until me feet are really sore" LOL!

Aaah, and then I had to read the lyrics because there is no way a 17 year old should be saying that!

Though, If I remember there was long ago a punk cover with what I heard...

There are more, but I cant at the moment remember them.

I'm bad for putting in my own lyrics though, because I'm partially deaf in one ear.
LOL, I had a hard time with that song, too. That's Radiohead, though, not The Cure. EDIT: Nevermind, apparently, Radiohead remade this song. Learn something new every day!

OMG, I totally forgot that! My mom used to sing it too! Except, I think I used to sing "and they swam and they swam ALL OVER the dam".....I have no idea what I meant by that.

Beatles When Im Sixty Four

What I though: Will you still need me, will you still feed me when Im six foot four.


What it really is: Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four

I never could figure out why some adult man was still growing taller. So then I thought maybe it was a son talking to a mom. Well when I was about 16 my mom heard me singing it and started laughing so hard. I still sing it as six foot four because thats what is stuck in my head.

The answer about nick nazel

From the Aragone ballroom

Overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan

comes the music of Nick Nazel

And his nine nasty nose pickers

Playing I got you now, you booger you !

This was a comical version of the introduction that was made of the introduction of Big Bands that played at the Aragone Ballroom in Chicago which was famous in the 1930's and 1940's for Big Band Music and dancing. The Aragone's  New years show  was a big event and broadcast over the radio.and

People celebrating at home or party's would toonin to get dance music for the evening
