    My 6-year-old loved the song Pumped Up Kicks when it came out. She sings the line "You better run, better run, faster than my bullet," as "I gotta run, gotta run, faster than my brother."

    Not gonna correct her.

    HAHA! I just had to look up the lyrics...I totally thought it was Douche too!
  • In the song "Margaritaville", for the longest time, I thought "Stepped on a pop-top" was "Stepped on a pop tart."

    That could be because pop-tops were obsolete by - oh- 1975 :laugh: You wouldn't even have that as a reference unless you're over 37.

    Yeah. I was kinda confused as to how one could blow out their flip flop on a pop tart. Then, I found out what a pop-top was...

    Nothing more adorable than 6-year olds loving songs about kids shooting kids. :happy:

    I say that completely joking as a parent, because kids hear *kitten* all the time that they have no idea how to interpret, and you just have to laugh. My 7-year-old was playing Modern Warfare with me (please send parenting awards directly to my house....) and she got shot and called the guy a D-bag (but she said it). Over my laughter I tried to parent her and told her it was a bad thing to say...... then she asked me what it was..... well.... see honey....... sometimes a woman.... gets that "not so fresh" feeling.

    Same girl at the age of 5 from the backseat with the radio off just singing -
    You change your mind
    Like a girl changes clothes
    Yeah you PMS
    Like a *****, I should know


    Just waiting for her to start in with "Skeet skeet skeet skeet......"

    Percy Sledge, When a man loves a woman:

    There's a line that sounds like
    "Time to hold on to your hot cross bun"

    When "Our lips are sealed" first came out, I thought it was Alice the seal.

    Not a song, but an old limerick --- "Jimmy crapped corn, and I don't care".

    Why should I care if Jimmy crapped corn. Maybe he shouldn't eat corn.

    When I was young and Kenny Rogers sang Lucille, he said "Four hungry children and the crops in the field" and I always pictured four hundred kids standing in a corn field...but in my defense, i was six!!! lol

    I always thought it said "four hundred children".
    There's a site on YouTube where someone tries to interpret Pearl Jam lyrics. OMG; it's hysterical!

    Eddie Vedder was once asked about The lyrics to Yellow Led Better. He said something along the lines of " "Wait...you mean there's lyrics?"

    Eta correct quote.

    My mom had one that still kills me to this day. Instead of "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire. Your desire..." She thought it was "I'm your fetus, I'm your father. Your desire." HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's messed up, right there!

    There is a line in "sexy and I know it" that my daughter sings as "I've got rashes in my pants, cause I ain't afraid to show it" instead of "passion in my pants, and I ain't afraid to show it"...... Nobody ever correct her...... I want her to firmly believe her version for the next 20 years.

    Ok...I"m sure everyone out there has thought lyrics of a song were different...and then someone called you out on them?

    For example...my most notorious one is Whitesnake's "Here I go Again"...I always sang "Like a TWISTER, I was born to walk alone!".. until hubs told me "twisters don't walk".

    Wait..it isn't Twister?? What is it?!!?! LMao!

    My favorite misheard/unintelligible song of all time: Yellow Ledbetter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLd22ha_-VU

    The correct lyrics are pretty deep. But I couldn't listen to a live version of the song all the way through because he didn't mumble enough. I couldn't substitute whichever words I wanted.
