My dd used to sing "far across the distance and spaceships between us" instead of "spaces" in "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion.

The first time I listened to "Twistin' the Night Away" I thought he was singing "dancin' with a chicken slacks" instead of "chick in slacks"
What song lyrics have you totally misunderstood?

Saint Thomas Aquinas

My friend's mom used to sing, "Bring me an iron lung." I think she meant "higher love."

My friend in middle school used to sing "Superfreak" by Rick James this way:

"When I get there she's got intertwining candles, it's such a freaky scene..."

instead of "When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles..."

What a fun thread!

DS (7) miss sings "Believe" by Cher during the chorus it is suppose to be

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say "

DS version

"Do you believe in laugh after love
I can feel something inside me play"

It cracks me up ever time! It's one of my cleaning songs, so ever time I here Cher sing it, I now think of DS mis-singing it.

One of my ex's thought it was:

"Two Pop Tarts"


Real lyrics - Smashmouth (All Star):

"Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid"

What my husband heard:

Hey now you're a Rock Star get your game on, get laid"

ROFL! He said that's what he thought it was cuz that's what rock stars do!


Real lyrics - Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse of the Heart)

"We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks"

What I heard:

"We're living in a party cake and giving off sparks"

Gawd I was so embarrassed because I used to sing this LOUDLY!

My DH and I laugh so hard everytime he sings it.

The first time I heard AC/DC do Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, I thought they were singing about Dirty Dean and the Thunder Chiefs.

And an ex boss of mine who wasn't well liked used to sign the Robert Palmer song,
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to love, as Might as well face it I'm a d!*khead in love. Several of us would go off in gales of laughter and not tell him why.

I still laugh at my husband thinking "Blinded by the Light" says "Wrapped up like a douche" instead of "Wrapped up like a deuce".

I actually had to go look up the lyrics for this a few weeks ago. The like is actually "Revved up like a deuce". I'm assuming they are referring to a deuce coupe?

there is a song that says "I'm the least of these" and my 8 yr old always sings it "I'm Alicia Keys"

My DH teases me all the time because when we first met we were in the car and the song "Your so Vain" came on and the part that says, wife of a close friend, I always thought they were saying, Wife of a clothes pin. I never really thought about it not making sense but the words just came out.

I always thought "don't ask her on a straight tequilla night" was "don't ask her on a string to kill the light". SO fell over laughing in the car when I was singing it windows and sunroof open and all!

I am dying here.. trying to work and answer phones, and then I am reading these posts and laughing.
LOL. on this one. I thought that is what he said too and I didn't get it?? LOL

Embarassingly, about 2 weeks ago my husband and I were driving and I heard that song.. "Margaritaville"... and I said to my husband, "What the heck is "chigger and song"???? He laughed so hard.. and he said.. "Hun... it is " my last shaker of salt"....

OOOOO>. now it makes sense.. ( DUH??????)

A young friend of mine loves to sing "This is the dawning of the age of aquariums"....instead, of course....Aquarius.

I hate the song "Secret Agent Man"...it is a big joke between my DH and I. No matter how hard I listen, I always hear the guy sing "Secret Asian Man".

That is particularly funny to me!

My DH's nickname through grad school was "Jiggersaw" because he asked his friend "What IS a JIGGERSAW" when he heard that same line!!

So funny - I think Jimmy Buffet has to work on his pronunciation...

There's a whole website devoted just to this. I can spend hours just reading these!

That's what I thought it was. lol. Thanks for clearing it up.

Actually, at one point several years ago, someone DID do it as a spoof with Asian - I think it had to do with someone in politics who had a person on stafff of Aisan descent who was kind of "sneaking" around - something like that.

Notice how even people who think they know the lyrics (for example, contestants on a show of similar name) still have problems sometimes.
