U2's song:

real version: "Sunday, bloody sunday....."

mistake: "Someday, buddy, someday......"

I love this thread!!
AitB: "Let my lysol sing to you!" Ya know, that should be their jingle!
And then there is the infamous: "Hark, then Harold angel sing" instead of "Hark, the herald angels sing!" (This is a ceppault family joke (his dad was famous for changing lyrics); don't know if it was made up or if someone actually thought it was that).

I thought the song by Ayiesha Woods (can't remember which one) which says "You don't have to put your head down, walking around disappointed." I thought it said "You have to put your hair down, you can wear it in a ponytail."

ramagut: Similar with our family about Hark the Herald...

Real: "Hark the Herald, Angels sing!"

Mistake: "Uncle Harold, Angels sing!"

We have an Uncle named Harold.

Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

Mistake: I watched the carribean sunrise, coming up over the pacific end, you might think I'm losing my mind but I will hide away in the pacific"... or some such gibberish as that.

And I'm sure there's more. This thread is making me laugh out loud.

You all know that children's song about rain, right?

"It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man is snoring,
He bumped his head,
and could get out of bed,
in the morning!"

I always thought it was:
"It's raining it's pouring,
The snowman is snoring..."

I could not think why there would ne rain and snow.

Skillet's song "Rebirthing"
the first time I heard it (oh how long ago that was!) I thought it went like this:

"Rebirthing now! I wanna live in bluff, wanna live for you! See for the first time now....."

the real song:

"Rebirthing now! I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me! Breathe for the first time now......"

haha i mixed up who i am hates who i've been too!

real: I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

mistake: i saw the purpleish sun rise
coming up over the pacific end
you might think i'm losing my mind
but i will shy away from the specifics...

also later in the song

real: I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

mistake: i talk to absolutely almost
couldn't keep to myself oh nothing
and the things brought on themselves and finally peaked
on to create so much pressure that a to blow up and

and later...

real: And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart

mistake: and i was postive to almost i got myself togethor i'll be going to a party and

don't ask me what i was thinking

also in their song forgiven

real: and you can't see past the blood on my hands
to see that you've been aptly damned

mistake: and you can't see past the mud on my hands
to see that you've been acllidemed (a word i made up )

Okay here is one

"Piece of cake piece of cake"

Real lyrics: He's the King He's the King........

Lol Really weird!

it is really wierd what you think you hear sometimes when listening to music...and embarrassing

I remembered another one from when I was a kid.
The song: Copacabana by Barry Manilow:
Real lyrics:
"His name was Rico, he wore a diamond, he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there and when she finished, he called her over..."
What I heard:
"His name was Rico, he wore a diamond, he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there and when she finished, he called her rover..."

It never made any sense to me until I was an adult and heard it and realized what the true lyrics were!

Real lyrics: "DJ,blow the speakers up tonight."

What I heard: "DJ,blow my sneakers up tonight."

when I first heard Anberlin's song "Godspeed" (that was SO long ago!) I thought it went like this:

"They lied when the said the good guy won....."

the real song:

"They lied when they said the good die young....."

Real: Holiday end, I'm here once again

Mistake: Holiday Inn, you once again!

Real: Hearts need a beat like awake needs sleep

Mistake: hats need a beam, like a rake needs a leaf! lol!

Stellar Kart's song Innocent:

Correct: I'm not some empty space for rent
What I heard: I'm not some empty space cadet

And later-
Correct: I wanna be innocent, Yours wholeheartedly...
What I heard: I wanna be innocent, You're so heartily... (Not to bad, you can see how close it is)

winterlife: your mess-ups from Stellar Kart are SO funny! I love that song and I can see how you heard that wrong.....
