mommy2be Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I knew someone (not naming names!) who thought the following: Brad Paisley's Man to Man it "Hoochie coo" instead of "Who's cheatin' who?" Diamond Rio Beautiful Mess "Like a mocharale in a haze" (made up word, lol) instead of "I'm walkin' 'round in a haze" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna T. Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 In Billy Idol's song "Eyes without a Face" I always thought he was saying, "How's about a date". Who's ever heard of eyes without a face anyway? How's about a date makes much more sense! :) :D:D:D :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Some of dd's: In "Day Tripper" the line "My baby don't care," she sang "I maybe don't care!" From "Conjunction Junction" she heard the line "Hooking up words and phrases and clauses" as "Hooking up words and freezing in the closet." And from the Kenny Loggins' song "Don't Fight It" the line was "Don't fight it," but what she sang was "No biting, no biting!" Oh! This is a fun thread! -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've had song lyrics on my mind all day because of this thread. Dh just sat down on the couch and said, "Oh, Mama..." in a sighing, tired, long day kinda way. I responded with the first thing that popped into my mind, "I'm in fear for my life..." He caught right on and said, "From the long arm of the law..." Now I'll NEVER get to sleep for running that song through my mind!

katemary63 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My mother used to sing us a song when we were small. This is what I heard: Mareziedotes and Doeziedotes and little lamziedivie. A kiddliedivie too wouldn't you? She was actually singing: Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? I figured this out...oh, about 10 years ago when I heard this song somewhere and actually listened to it. I was dumbfounded. I thought it was just a nonsense song! :lol::lol: Love all the others - too funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnandtinagilbert Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 yesterday we were listening to the 80's station and my son heard, "Cows on Film" instead of "Girls on Film" Duran Duran....red lipstick on dairy cows flashed in my mind's eye!

astrid Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, four hundred children and the turnips won't peel....." Yes.

ChristusG Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 A few weeks ago my DD (5 years old), was happily playing and singing "Zaccheus was a wee little man." Well, she stopped and said "There's two of them, Mommy!" I said "Two of what?" Then she proceeded to explain "Two Ikeas, the store and the wee little man!" So she had been singing "Ikea was a wee little man" LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcinnc Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 My oldest daughter used to sing "where the deer and the cantaloupe play" from "Home on the Range" (I think).

kimmyandgracie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 This thread is hilarious! I have laughed so hard reading these posts. The mention of "Bringing in the Sheaves" made me think about a lady at my church who told me that when she was a kid she thought the song said "Bringing in the Cheese".

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Are we friends? I used to insist it was thunder chief. I never did get that song until I was enlightened. My dh loves ACDC.

Lucy in Australia Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 When my boys were about 3 and used to sing in the bath, this is what we heard, at various different times : Twinkle, twinkle Little star :"...Up above the world so high, Like a dolphin in the sky..." Another one, from Baa baa, black sheep : "One for the master, one for the dame, one for the little boy who lives down the drain..." ok, he was in the bath at the time, but still And my personal favourite, "Thank you Lord, for saving my soul... Thank you Lord, for making me cold..." :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Oh my gosh these are too funny!! hehehehehe Two from my youth are Billy Joel's Piano Man... "and he's talking to Davie who fell in the gravy and will probably be there for life." It's supposed to be "and he's talking to Davie who's still in the Navy..." :p and Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. "we're living in a Polish shack and givin' off sparks." actual lyrics are "we're living in a powder keg and givin off sparks." I didn't know what a powder keg was back then, but my mom almost died laughing when I sang that song wrong. :p hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGin Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have an Aunt named Joyce. When she was little they lived on a farm and she was called Joycie. There was a song at Church that she loved called "Bringing in the Sheaves". At the end of the song it says, "We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves." It had always been her favorite song because she thought the words were, "We shall come with Joycie, bringing in the sheeps." :D She said she had felt so special singing that song, and was shocked when she realized what the real words were! :lol: My oldest sister thought this one was "bringing in the sheets" and wondered for years why we would still have laundry in heaven. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGin Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 What a funny thread! I haven't laughed so hard in a while. When my niece was about 3 she loved "I've got the joy, joy joy, joy down in my heart", but she sang one verse as "I've got the piece of plastic understanding". Oh, and she also sang, "Jesus loves me and my toes". :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
