When we were younger, we swore the the song:

"There's a bad moon on the Rise" was actually "There's a bathroom on the Right"

Talk about bad hearing!!!!!

I thought that up until about a year ago. Then mom admitted a few months ago that when she was a kid she thought the same thing.

As for the venus song, for the longest time I thought it said I'm your fetus...

There's a country song about some cowboy wearing a six shooter. I always thought he was wearing a sex shield. I think I need my ears checked.

Diamond Rio's "I Believe". I thought, Oh, how nice. They're sharing their faith, when they would sing the line, "There are MORMON Angels watching over me!!" It's actually, "There are MORE THAN angels watching over me. "

Um, I don't post much, but I felt compelled to admit that as a little girl, I loved a stuffed lamb that was named "lambsey-divey". I guess it's name was really "Lambs eat ivey." This makes me question more of my childhood memories . . .

My 'mis-heard' lyric was in the chorus of Burton Cummings' song Stand Tall. For some reason I never knew the title and it really would have helped..........me to realize that the line was
"Stand Tall, don't you fall oh, don't go and do something foolish", not Santos won't you fall and you are foolish.
I guess its all in the ear of the receiver!!

(not sure who sings it) "I'm blue abadi abada" was changed to I'm blue I'm in need of a guy, if I was green I would die, I'm in need of a guy. [/B]

Benji, my morose child, used to sing, I'm blue, I believe I will die, I believe I will die, I believe I will die.....and this was before his brain tumor. Nice, huh???

I have a friend who thought the line in the Streisand song "I was raised on the book of Jesus" was "I was raised on a bag of cheetohs"

Leann Rhimes had a song called one way ticket. The lyrics are "I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain" But for the longest time, it sounded like "I'm gonna show my 'pits' with a 't' in the pouring rain."

LOL!!!! I thought the same EXACT thing. I swear I probably would have spelled it the same way too!!! I remember my grandpa singing that song when I was a kids and I never heard it anywhere else. Until I heard it on a children's CD I bought for my son. I didn't even recognize the name of the song until I heard it. I was shocked that it was a real song with *real* words.

My mom thought Huey Lewis and the News song "I want a New Drug" said this:

I want a new truck
One that won't be a stick

instead of

I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick

Oh did we laugh HYSTERICALLY when we heard her singing along.

John Cougar Mellencamp's song Cherry Bomb, the words are "back when a sport was a sport", I always thought it was "back when a smoke was a smoke" until my husband corrected me. I still sing smoke, thats what it sounds like to me. He tells me it doesn't make sense that way, but I think it does. Back before everyone knew how bad smoking is.....

I always sing the same thing as you, but I had a feeling it was wrong, just couldn't figure it out!

My dad and I used to joke about how he always thought Neil Diamond's "Forever in Blue Jeans" was "The Reverend Blue Jeans". Well....a few weeks ago, my DH and I were in the car and the song came on and what do you think he starts singing?? That's right "The Reverend Blue Jeans"!!

I guess girls really do marry guys like their daddies!!

Of course, my DH also insists that it's the CAT that calls the kettle black and not the POT. But that's beside the point!
