I thought it was reindeer "paws"

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

But is is really, "Up on the housetop reindeer pause, out jumps good old Santa Clause". I feel like an idiot! Did not realize it until I was watching the words on the Disney Sing a long!
Ever been wrong about words to a song, or am I the only foolish one?

LOL! One of my kids thought that once too!

But reindeer don't HAVE paws. They have hooves.

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

You're right of course! My poor kids thought it was Paws too, but of course I am their foolish mom, acting it out("paws" scratching the rooftop, and the people inside hearing this!!) as we sing it and all!

LOL!!! This is really funny!

My kids say I'm the Queen of this! Creedance Clearwater Revival used to sing a song with the line, "There's a bad moon on the rise." For years, I thought it was "There's a bathroom on the right."

I was fairly certain it wasn't right, but couldn't "hear" any other words no matter how hard I tried. We used to sing it that way, too!

While listening to Weird Al Yankovic one day, I "heard" him say 'Now it's time for the Old Korean solo" when he actually said 'accordian solo'.

DS likes to do impersonations...He picked up one from Animaniacs & one day did their "I love you lady, bye-bye". I heard him say "Lovely rabbi"

My kids enjoy telling people at gatherings about this character "flaw" of their mother's!

Have you guys had your ears checked? I hear things wrong all the time but then I have a hearing loss and expect it. There is this song that "I'm so glad you gave" and I always heard I'm so glad you came"

I used to think it was paws, too. I also sang, "later on we'll perspire as we dream by the fire" for years! It made sense to me.

My uncle asked my grandmother, "What does yon mean? Like in the song where they talk about a round, yon virgin?"

 

[pumba]

on the right too.......and also my sister at a sing a long once....said born on the table top in Tennesee.....instead of born on the mt top in tennesee.........we always got a big laugh out of that one

My mother is famous for getting the names of performers wrong.....my favorite is "Moon, Wind and Sand".....which may be more familiar to people as "Earth, Wind and Fire"......that is if you were born before the 1980's!!!

I used to think that AC/DS's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was Dirty Deeds and the Dundar Jeep...Go Figure

My FIL has always called Def Leppard...Blind Lion!

 

[Saffron]

Oh my gosh! These are a riot! Hahahahaha!

I of course never get any words wrong.

I can't even post the line I got wrong in a song, because I thought it had a word it in that would be deleted by the DIS filters. (The other word for donkey). Well .... it doesn't. ROTFLOL!!

Ok, I feel real stupid because up until I read this post, I always thought it was paws. Paws just makes more sense...if reindeer had paws I guess.

The one DH always laughs at me for is in the song "All Star", where it says "get your game on", I always thought it said something about going to K-Mart. I couldnt figure out why K-Mart was part of the song.

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

I feel MUCH better now! There are LOTs of other songs I have the words wrong for also. Once you know them wrong, it is hard to relearn them!
Thanks CamColt, I thought I was the only nut!

 

[mom2boys]

Your right about the hoofs but when I was in elemetary school, we did hand motions to the words for our Chirstmas concert. We made a pawing motion with our hands. Now the music teacher SHOULD have known the difference between "paws" & "pause". Not to mention that reindeer don't have paws.

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

ROFL ! I probably DID get it wrong from a music teacher. Maybe our teachers were related! I gotta blame someone for my stupidity!
I want to hear some more hearing blunders! Come on people!

I am drawing a blank as to any of mine, but my sister used to have one of the best..

She used to always sing "Mrs. Brown you have a lovely door knob" instead of "you have a lovely daughter" (Herman's Hermits)

There's actually a bunch of web sites devoted to this topic, like Your Ears Flapped or amiright.com

My mom always thought Neil Diamond's Fovever in Blue Jeans was about a minister - 'Reverend' Blue Jeans.

I think I've posted this before and it's pretty embarrassing, but I used to think John Fogherty's song Centerfield was about a man purchasing airline tickets...'Put me in coach'

A friend of mine in middle school used to think 'Life in the fastlane' was 'break out the vaseline'.

Another friend thought that a line from 'Benny and the Jets' was 'she's got electric boobs, a mohair suit' LOL!!!
