Post your silly mistakes here.

In BaBa, by Alanis Morrisette she sings Ave Maria. Before I read the lyrics, I thought she was saying "Always the media".

"I'd rather be in hell with the babies and in cool heaven..." -Sananda

should be: " I'd rather be in hell with you baby than in cool heaven"


(does anyone else see where VH may have gotten the inspiration for Down Here In Hell?)

My ex-wife thought the lyrics to "Gett Off" said "something 'bout a litterbox with a mirror and a tongue inside". When she questioned me about it, I friggin' laughed for an hour!!!

In fields of gold by Sting, I use to think he said "Upon the fields of falling.". HA! Makes no sense.. but that is me for ya!

"Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.

Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line
Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em
Good Times."

I always thought this line was "Hangin'-n-a-jivin'" then I thought it was "Hangin' in a jirey" until I realized that there is no such thing as a "jirey," but then again, I've never heard of a "chow line" either.

this is probably more for the German speaking peeps around, but back in the days in Michael Jackson's "Wanna be Startin' Something" it goes like
"Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
Ma ma coo sa"

and in every second line of this endless repeating Ad-Lib I could swear he sings
"Ma ma se, ma ma sa Tomatensaft"

(F.Y.I. Tomatensaft = tomato juice)


and I still can hear it today! if U speak German go and check yo self!

I think it's 'hanging in a jury'....as in being on trial and there is a hung jury.

In the Doobie Brothers song 'What a Fool Believes' I thought they were saying 'the white man has the power.' They were actually saying 'the wise man has the power.'

How Deep Is Your Love by The Bee Gees. They sang "Then you come to me on a summer breeze". As a kid, I used to think they were singing "Then you come to me on a submarine".

From WAR's Cisco Kid " Eats the salty penis out the hand" is what I hear with that ghetto drawl. I know that it should be " eats the salty peanuts out the can".

and of course,if you don't listen too closely,"More Than A Woman" sounds like they're singing..

"bald-headed woman....bald-headed woman to me"

***Remember that 1978 song "It's A Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler? I used to think she was really singing "It's a HARD EGG"...lol...

ROFL

FROM GRAFFITI BRIDGE

"Everybody wants to fuck the greedy bitch."

This one still has me in stictches. Which orger came up with that one?

oh my lawd now that is tooo funny

the one that always gets me is in uptown when he's talking about a girl through the whole song and then he says "she even made love to me ahhh best head I ever had" I have debated for HOURS with people who think he says "he" when it just does not make sense in the context of things.

Oh my gosh, i love this topic. Okay, I usually screw up lyrics by Tori Amos:

Caught a Lite Sneeze:
Excuse me, y ya fumbling is actually "Bulding tumbling"
Mr. Saint John bring your gun is actually "Mr. Saint John just bring your son"
Violent hearts and the soul stills bleed is actually "The spire is hot and my cells can't feed"


Cruel:
Why can't my (mumble) balloon in celibant friendly skies is actually "Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in perfectly windy sky"

Horses:
Got me some tortouse to ride on, to climb on is actually "Got me some horses to ride on, to ride on"

I remember there being a site dedicated to this subject, and folks could send in their own mis-heard lyrics. My favorite was a girl who thought the Everclear song "Santa Monica" said "we can live beside the ocean, beneath your big behind" (the actual line is "leave the fires behind")

Michael Jackson ---Lady in my Life ( I love you Morris Day) I love you more each day.

Thank God for Chapelle because I would have never figured that out. I sang the same thing

Similiarly,on the 1984 Duran Duran hit "Wild Boys",it sounds like they're really singing...


"White boys always....shine"

the prince song"it's gonna be a beautiful night" when bonnie screams"one more" i thought she was screaming "white boy!"

Dancelot said:

haha, so my sister wasn't the only one!

she was wondering why anyone would write a song about a hard egg, and thought it was so dumb.
