Song lyrics you've been getting wrong your entire life......

[Disney1fan2002]

OK...I have a TON. My kids laugh at me, but hey, the words I am singing fit. The one song that never made any sense to me, since I was a kid, because I couldn't figure out how anyone could have 400 children, is Kenny Roger's Lucille.

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, 400 children and a crop in the field....."

Yeah Lucille, how could you leave him with 400 children with a crop to tend to? LOL

I now know it is 4 HUNGRY children, but I still sing 400 children, because the mental image of that makes it way more of a tragedy. Your wife leaves you with 4 hungry children, that sucks, but you can get through it. Now, she leaves you with 400 children, you may as well jump off a cliff.

I have a couple from when my sister and I were kids. Only old people will know the songs though.

Terrence Trent Darby's "Sign Your Name Across My Heart" was Spiderman across my heart.

"Suicide Blonde" was "soup and salad bar". Sing the songs and you'll understand it better.

The Lucille song, yep, that's what I thought it was too.

My favorite one of these is Reece's Amazing Grace rendition on "Malcolm in the Middle"

Amazing Race
How sweet the taste
that saved a wrench for me
I once was in the lost and found
was blind but found my key!

Not my entire life, but as a kid I mistook several lines from our national anthem

Old Canada (Oh Canada)
We seething rise (we see thee rise)

I distinctly remember asking a teacher in grade 1 what seething meant - she told me but if she had asked why I wanted to know we could have cleared that up much sooner...

And am I the only one that thinks that Taylor Swift song says "I know a lot of Starbucks lovers..."

I used to think Pomp and Circumstance was actually Pompom Circus Dance.

 

[Brittni__duh]

I always misheard System of a Down's "Chop Suey!" The line "Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?" sounded a lot like "Why'd you leave the ketchup on the table"

I still sing it that way. No shame

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Come to me, always on the run
(Actual) Company, always on the run

Opening line of Bad Company, one of my favorite songs LOL

Edit: I've always had the words to Def Leppard's Foolin' all kinds of boogered up.

 

[Diznotyzed]

Even though it makes no sense, I always sang

Rocket Man...
Burnin' down the fields of Avalon

It's only in the last few years that I finally heard it right.

Lay Down Sally to me: Way Down South

 

[E&Cmom]

Games without Frontiers- "Jeux Sans Frontieres". I always thought it was " She's so Popular". What makes it worse is I grew up in Montreal and never clued in he was speaking French.

Also " Dude Looks Like a Lady I thought was " Do the lucky lady".

I found out, when I was in my twenties, that Billy Joel was singing a song about a couple named Brenda and Eddie. I always thought it was about a nice Italian girl named Brenda Rinetti.
It still sounds like that to me, and I still sing it that way. LOL

I have a bunch, but that's my most famous.

ETA: just realized last weekend Tom Petty was singing:Running down a dream, not: running down a drain.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

"Hold me closer Tony Danza!"

My mom has a video of me belting that out when I was little.

 

[low-key]

all of them from the Star Spangled Banner on down

"You wanted to!" Now that song is in my head..

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. The lyric is "The kid is not my son." To me it was somewhat I intelligble, but I was guessing it was "mi-gel is not my son."

I guess it's not about carrying a laser???
