Ever hear a song and you sing along to it for years and later find out the lyrics you were saying all along were wrong???
For me, growing up I loved that song "Blinded by the Light" the version done by Manfred Man. I always used to think that part of the song where they say: Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.
I used to sing it like this:
Blinded by the light
revved up like a douche like a roller in the night.
ROTFLMAO!!!!

I'm not sure who sings the song, I think it's Paul Young, but the song goes like this: Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you.
I use to think the lyrics were: Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.

Yep, that was Paul Young. It did sound like that's what he was saying. Very annoying. LOL

almost half of "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper, I didn't understand as a kid.
"they say I better stop or I'll go blind"="a superstar or I'll go blind" (yes, I didn't think the song made sense when I heard that)
"I hope he will understand"="I don't even understand" (which could sorta make sense if she doesn't know what Bopping is, lol)
"La Isla Bonita" by Madonna
"last night I dreamt of San Pedro"="last night I drank up some Faygo" (that is how I sang the song for years, lol)
"Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)" by Pet Shop Boys
"I've got the brains, you got the looks, let's mate lots of monkeys"

In "Midnight Rider" by the Allman Brothers Band,
There's a line that goes
"Some old bed I'll soon be sharing."
I heard it as
"Some old men I'll soon be sharing," which made me wonder what the hell ol' Gregg was up to!!:confused: :confused:

A girl that my mom worked with was at a wedding reception and was singing to ACDC's "You shook me all night long." Instead of "she was a fast machine" she was signing "she was a fax machine" :lol:
My son used to think Tom Petty was singing "running down the drain".

Chalk me up as another one who misheard "deuce" in "Blinded by the Light". :lol:
I also thought "Funkytown" was...well, another word that begins with "F". I thought, "they're allowed to say that on the air??" :rofl:
When the song "Lady In Red" by Chris DeBurgh came out, my sister was 5 and thought it was "Lady In Bread". :rofl: I still tease her about that sometimes. :lol:

Here's what I thought "Jet" said:
"Ah Major won't object to always love me.
Ah Major won't object to always love me.
Ah Major much later.
"Jet! With the wind in your hair of a thousand races."
From "UA/AH":
"Hands across the water, (water).
Hands across the sky.
"Admiral Halsey notified me.
He had to have a buzz or he couldn't get to sea."

Paula Abdul's Straight Up.
I heard, "Or am I a page in your history? Look, I don't need to make demands, but the word and the deed go hand in hand."
Correct: "Or am I a page in your history book? I don't need to make demands, but the word and the deed go hand in hand."

When I was a kid, I misheard a lyric in "You Were Born In The City" by Glenn Frey (great song, btw). Instead of "You were born in the city, concrete under your feet", I thought he said "you were born under your feet". :confused: :lol: :rofl:
This isn't really mishearing a lyric, but as a kid I thought the Hall & Oates song "Maneater" was about a cannibal. I also thought the Jeffersons' theme about "getting a piece of the pie" was about REAL pie. :rofl:
As a kid I also heard the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" many times before I heard the remake by Phil Collins. THAT had me REALLY confused. I thought something was seriously wrong with the tape to make Diana Ross sound like a guy!!! :rofl:
