    99 Red Balloons

    Instead of "You and I in a little toy shop..." I thought it was "You and I and a little Dachshund..."

    Nena was German. It made sense for her to have a little weinerdog.

    Rage Against the machine - "we're the renegades of funk"... I heard... "Put a rat in that cage and f&ck"....

    I keep hearing it as "red-neck kings of f&ck"

    Junior high. At the Jersey Shore. 40-50 year old guy talking to my friend and I in the water. I heard him say, "Are you from New York too?" To which I replied in my snottiest teen voice, "Um, NO!" Later on my friend asked why I told him no. It turns out he had said, "Are you enjoying yourselves?" Whoops.

    Thanks for sharing this, funny stuff especially with the song lyrics!

    ha ha...this post reminds me of my step-daughter and Shaggy...

    She would sing "picture this we were both buck naked banging on the bathroom door"

    We would laugh so hard.

    "wrapped up like a douche"

    It's actually

    "wrapped up like a deuce"

    Blinded By The Light :bigsmile: Next lyric please?

    Well, isn't that followed by ......"you know the moaner in the night.".....?

    :ohwell:

    "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

    Though I have a feeling you actually knew that. :wink:

    Did not know that. I've been singing it wrong for 30+ years. :sad:




    I've been singing it wrong all these years. Now I want to hear it again so when I sing out loud people don't look at me funny!!

    Haha! I love this!!! The song, "Rock the Casbah" by the Clash always sounded to me like, "rock the cat box"!

    50 Cent's song Beat the P**** Up, sounds like "eat the pizza up up up"...lol! My husband thought it sounded like, "beat them fishes up"! Hilarious because he is a fisherman! lol

    Oh I could go on....I'm strange! lol

    We stopped at a gas station to get drinks and my 6 year old can finally read and reads everything...

    My oldest son all of a sudden says

    "Devon don't say that!"

    And I said, "What did he say?"

    He said "The B-I ***** word"

    I said "Devon did you say that?"

    He said That's what the sign says, ***** light"

    I said "Where?"

    He points to the Busch Light sign inside the store!

    I swear that Prince says, "Live and covet." not "Little Red Corvette"

    It wasn't until someone told me the name of the song that I realized I had it wrong.

    Boyfriend misheard a song from Mary Poppins. He heard "scrubbed and tubbed, and accidentally fed" instead of "adequately fed"

    Ah! I've done so many of these and "re-learned" some lyrics today ;)

    Fat-Bottomed Girls by Queen

    I heard: "Left alone with big fat fattie" instead of "Left alone with big fat Franny"

    I don't know if it really makes a difference, but I felt the lyrics were more bullying when I was wrong lol

    Also Hotel California, I thought he had "cool whip in my hair"

    It's actually

    "wrapped up like a deuce"

    This one always. Though I thought it was "revved up like a deuce"

    As already pointed out, it IS revved and not wrapped. The original Springsteen version makes this much more clear than the Mannfred Mann version that everyone knows.
    Yellow Ledbetter

    True story - I didn't think this song was even in ENGLISH the first few times I heard it. I remember saying "who is that? it sounds a lot like Pearl Jam" and my buddy said "it IS Pearl Jam" and I said "it is? wtf language is it in?"

    I was working in Media Play at the time so about 6 of us all took it home one night to decipher what we could, and got what I think is pretty close to the actual lyrics. They are still mushmouthed as hell, tho.

    Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani

    It says "I ain't no Hollaback girl," but my sister kept singing it as 'I ain't no Harlem black girl."

    I have severe hearing loss so this happens ALL THE TIME with lyrics, especially now since my hearing aids have stopped working. Here's the first verse according to my ears, of 'Who's that Chick' by David Guetta feat. Rihanna.

    "Feel the adrenaline movin’ under my skin

    It’s an addiction touch that e***tion

    Sound is my limosuine giving me linguine

    Music is all I need."
