Hi Guys,
All of us (especially early on in our childhood) have heard lyrics to songs that are mumbled or confusing and we think that they are something else than what they actually are!

A lot of us early on have said names wrong!

When I was a little kid, the comody team/singers Sonny and Cher were popular.....I always thought that they were Sonny and CHAIR! hahahaha

At about 5 or 6 I remember calling a "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" a "Girl Cheese Sandwich" LOL!

I can't think of other funny names as a kid but with regard to SONGS!

In the song "Bad Moon Rsing" for YEARS I thought the verse that goes,

"There's a bad moon on the right" was "There's a bathroom on the right!" I still don't know the words after "Don't go out tonight"

I thought about in 7th grade that the Foriegner song "Head Games" when they said "Head Games" they were saying, "That's Gay!"

The song "Rag Doll" by Arrowsmith the verse that goes,

"Rag Doll, living in a movie" to me always sounded like

"Run Down, rent a little movie"

What others can you think of? (Messed up song lyrics or names of things?)

I remember when I first heard Nirvana's "Come as You Are", I was really offended by it. The reason was, there is a verse at the end that goes "when I swear that I, dont have a GUN....." I thought Kurt was saying "God."

i was a very disallusioned child so i have a lot...but the funniest one is in that davy crockett song, the line "killed him a bear when he was only three" or something, I used to think it was "killed BY a bear when he was only three"
it took me a long time to find out what on earth a "levy" is in american pie- i thought it was a car wash or something....

When I was little I used to pronounce my name "Getchica," instead of Jessica and I would say, "I want to go hopsching" instead of shopping.

As far as song's go, in the 98 Degrees song where they say, "Give me just one night, uno noches," my cousin thought it was, "Give me just one night, on the doorstep." :lol:

My mom said she used to think the words "plastic wrap" were "plasti crap" :lol:

When i was 5 i thot the line in jingle bells "in a 1 horse open sleigh" went like "in a 1 horse soap in sleigh"

I used to think the words "fly swatter" were "flys water"

i used to think that too!

other childhood disallusions:
- i got ranches and parks mixed up
- i got Kentucky and Conneticuit mixed up
- i thought my moms friend Betty was Betty Rubble from Flintstones
- i thought Rhode Island was a train station
-I thought "anonymous" was "A Nonni Mouse"
-i thought "Miscellanious" was "Miss Ellenious"

there are lots more...i was such a confused kid.

Lyric to BadMoon Rising is:
Don't go out tonight
It's bound to change your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I had trouble with The house of the Rising Sun. These lines
My mother was a taylor
Sewed my new bluejeans

I thought it was this - even though it didn't make any sense:
My mother was a sailor
Sold my new bluejeans

My classic childhood lines are still haunting me to this day.
1. My mom asked me to say hippopotamus, so I said "patapatamus, maaaaaaaa"
2. At my aunt's wedding, I told her "ya look like a big ox. the really big ones with all that fat and the slobbery spit. you look real ugly"

My brother used to say "engeny" instead of energy and gotfor instead of forgot.

I think it's an urban myth that Louie Louie's lyrics are obscene. They may be off-color but that's about it. I'll try to find the lyrics and get back to you on this.

There's this one site with a bunch of misheard lyrics called kissthisguy.com. I think everyone has misheard lyrics at one time or another. One time I can remember is in this one Our Lady Peace song, Carnival, where I thought it said "you're castrated by the cracks in the pavement." Gross.. I know, but it kind of morbidly made sense. Anyway, once I actually read the lyrics I found out they were instead saying "you're frustrated by the cracks in the pavement." :bonk:

OMG I was just thinking about that song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, they were playing it on the radio while I was at the store this morning, and I was singing along with my own lyrics "there's a bathroom on the right..." What a coincidence someone else thought that!!!:lol:

:lol: :lol: Thats funny!!!! In the song, Downfall, by TRUSTcompany......there's a part at the end where the guy says "just waiting for a DOWNFALL" well, as stupid as I am, I mistaked the guy for saying "just waiting for a tampon" gaa, I am such an airhead, but it really does sound like that is what he is saying if you arent paying any attention.

In Les Mis, one of Cosette's lyrics is "I knew it, too." My sister thought she said "I'm Judy Kuhn."

Judy Kuhn was the name of the actress who played Cosette...
