I heard one of my friend singing away to herself in the kitchen the other day... she was singing macy grays "I try"
and this was how she sung it... " I try to say goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble, though I try to hide it its clear, I WEAR GOGGLES when you are not here..."
Its meant to be " my world crumbles when you are not here!!"
I was all like WHAT? and fell over laughing!
it was so funny! Have any of you guys mixed up the words of songs? TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"

ok.. I have looked at three different sites and the lyrics for that song are showing as different on all of them
first site:
some of those that were forces are the same that bore crosses
second site :
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
third site :
Some of those that work forces, are the saints that burn crosses
wtf?
I always thought is was "some of those that were enforcers, are the same that burn crosses" as in, some police officers are weekend racists...
huh?
TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"

'There's a lady who smokes
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway 11...
"...And there's a wine bar down the road!"
From the same song, should be and as we wind on down the road...gotta love my drunken friends trying to sing stairway to heaven

Bryan Adams's 'Depend On Me'
"When you're loosin' direction - you can depend on me" sounds just like..............
............."when you loose and erection - you can bend on me"
It's even funnier when you hear the next lines:
"when you feel broken hearted, and you just can't get started, - you can bend/(depend) on me!"

Hahahah this ones funny:
Asthenia, Blink 182
REAL lyrics:
Should i go back, should i go back?
Should i? I feel alone and tired.
What someone thought it was
Should i go back, should i go back?
Should i? I want to raise a tiger!
That part in the song sounds NOTHING like that!!!! hehehe

from one of the verses of 'stuck in the middle with you' by Stealer's Wheel:
said i'm stuck in the middle with you
and i'm wond'rin' what it is i should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
oozing petroleum all over the place, (!)
clowns to the left of me... etc.
apparently it's 'losing control, yeah i'm all over the place'
mishearings are better.

I always thought it was:. It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
. 'cause I'm wandering all over the place
but just looked at a website that says:
. It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
. Losing joy yer, I'm all over the place
I think my lyrics make most sense of all of them...

yesterday I heard the kaiser chiefs song "I predict a riot" or whatever the song that that line is in.
I thought they were saying:
"I have tourettes"

Right, these aren't misheard, I re-wrote the song for comedy value:
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby baby,
How was I supposed to know
The loo was overflowing
Oh baby baby
I just had to let it goooo
And now the gunk is going
To drown us
Lurking in the U-bend
Try to flush something down it
But it comes back up this end
oh because
My rumbly guts are killing me
(And I)
I must confess - It was me
(It was me)
I raided the fridge late last night
Shoulda known all the signs-
It must have been the chicken pie!

i heard The Prayer by Anthony Callea the other day and in one verse i could swear it said;
'do you have the chicken' or maybe it was 'where is the chicken' (i cant remember as i was really tired when i heard it)
and in another it said;
'wonderful chair'

and there's bandages by I can't remember who that we're sure actually says panda jizz
bandages is by hot hot heat...and for ages i thought it was 'better jills for me and for you' rather than 'bandages on my legs and my arms from you'
i blame alcohol and big speakers.
also ages and AAAGES ago there was a song that went something like
'my love has got no army, he's got his strong beliefs'
or in my world
'my love has got no army, he's got his dungarees'

One that I misheard a while back was a song by The Misfits, called "Hatebreeders".
Original chorus: "Whoa-hoa-hoooa, hatebreeders whoa!"
The chorus I heard while higher than a giraffe's @$* : "Whoa-hoa-hoooa, Henry I'm home!!!"
Needless to say, I don't do ecstasy anymore....

remembered another one the other day..
Tracy Chapman- Fast Car
Apparently it is "and you're arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder"
I always sang it as "and you're uncles night-strap 'round my shoulder" I always wondered what a night strap was, lol

lilac wine is a great song.. i first heard it sung by jeff buckley.. then recently i heard nina simone singing it.
that was when i realised that its lilac wine , not "i like wine".
the whole song is a little deeper now

Haha, I don't know if this counts, but if I ever had to sing along to this, I'd still sing "Bala too cuerta pallegria macarena, que too cuerzepapa pallegria cosavena" *lol* Just make it sound sorta like it.
Anyways, on another note, I've heard this song a bunch on the radio, and for the longest time I thought that the chorus was "I'll be leaving with the breast of goodbye is all we have." And I kept trying to figure out what it really was. The interesting part? Those are actually the lyrics. I still don't know what it means...
