Song lyrics gone wrong...

I used to make the same mistake until someone told me it was deuce!

that one must be a VERY common mistake.
There's also a line in "Love Potion #9" that my sister and I (we were around 12-13 at the time) would go around singing about the gypsy with the "gold tattoo". Just a few years ago, I finally realized they were saying "gold CAPPED TOOTH". I called my sister (we are now ...um, shall we say, of a rather mature age) and told her about it, and she still hadn't figured it out -- she still thought the gypsy had a gold tattoo.

My DH is ALWAYS "creatively replacing" words when he doesn't know what goes there -- sometimes the replacements are better than the original lyrics.

I thought they were saying "wrapped up like a (feminine hygiene product here) -int ???? in the night"

Exactly like that. Only I couldn't find what sounded like dooshint in the dictionary. Trust me, I looked.

That's what I always thought!!!!

I can't remember the artist, but there's a song that I never could figure out what the guy was saying in the chorus until I asked my sister. I thought he was saying, "I'm not talking 'bout the Millennium and I don't want to change this time "... turns out it says, "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in, and I don't want to change your life" but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around, and I'd really love to see you tonight." strange how the mind just substitutes what it thinks might go there to fill in the gap... There was a woman who had taken her granddaughter to church and they were doing the congregational singing. Something was just a bit off, and she leaned toward her granddaughter and listened carefully. The little girl was happily singing, "Bringing in the Cheese, bringing in the Cheese. We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the Cheese".

This reminds me of the funniest Saturday Night Live skit ever. Remember the parody of Blue Oyster Cult, and Christopher Walkin is the sound engineer, and the Elf (??) guy is the cowbell, and he keeps whacking away at that cowbell on 'Don't fear the Reaper', and Walken is saying "We need more cowbell!" It becomes a primarily cowbell song. Which come to think of it was probably a documentary rather than a parody.

Anyways, I can't figure ANY of the words from that song except "don't fear the reaper' and i probably wouldn't have figured that out if it wasn't the title.

It's not rock, but my little girl used to start the national anthem with "Jose can you see?"


Then there's the ever popular "Oh, Canada, we stand on cars and freeze ..."





Been to long since I found out what people mean by dining out ...
 
There was some song about how hard it was to love 'a hard-headed woman' and I thought it was 'bald-headed woman' -- great mental picture!
 
oh dear...

Maybe they wanted people to think it was the bad lyrics? Makes them more edgy, perhaps?

I would mis-hear Evanessence's "Breathe into me" as "Bleed into me" ...which I thought was just gross. That girl yells rather than sings, so I have a hard time with quite a bit of her lyrics.
