    I have two....that song "Hang On Sloopy" by the McCoys? When I was little, I'd always sit in the backseat and belt out what I thought it was: "HANG ON STUPID, STUPID HANG ON!!!"

    I always thought it sounded like "Hang on, Snoopy". lol

    My husband thought the line in "Oh Holy Night" was "round, young virgin". We have laughed about that every year. He is not the only person who thinks this apparently. LOL!

    is that not what it is?!

    . Silent night! Holy night!
    All is calm, all is bright,
    Round yon Virgin Mother and Child!
    Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
    Sleep in heavenly peace!
    Sleep in heavenly peace!

    I thought that for years, wasn't until I joined a chorus and got a lyric sheet that I found out I was wrong.

    Now watergate does not bother me..

    I always thought it was "a one eyed gay does not bother me." the song never made sense and then when I heard it the right way i felt so ridiculous..

    Two things.

    Me: Billy Squier's 80's hit: My Kind of Lover . I thought was My Candleabra!

    My 9 yr old son: The Rolling Stones "Hot Stuff" was playing on the radio in the car. He says to me, "This song makes me hungry!". Why would it make you hungry? "Because they keep saying Pasta! Pasta!".

    To this day I always here that song as "Pasta"

    Tea Bagging....
    When I was a pre-teen, tea-bagging was a caffeine rush derived by sucking on tea-bags, and then jumping around with a slight high. Fast forward 30 years.

    I saw some tea-bags dumped in the trash, and my son, aged 15, had a sleep-over with several of his friends. My wife had dumped those tea-bags, but I didn't know that. I jokingly said "I see you guys were tea-bagging - eh?"

    They all looked at me wide-eyed, embarrassed. I continued...
    "Oh come on! I used to do that with my friends years ago" - and so the conversation went.
    I left it at a that, and it was not until later that night at a party that somebody advised me of my mistake.

    I WAS APPALLED!

    That is so funny, your son will never live that one down. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    How bad is this -- I've never heard of this, so I actually had to Google It. YIKES. I'm never doing THAT again -- wait, GOOGLING it, not DOING it. :blushing: Whew.

    I'm just gonna shut up now. :huh:


    I had to ask my 15 yr old son!!!!!

    Go to YouTube and type in misheard lyrics , but not at work 'cause I was just rolling in the floor . There's one on there that plays the song and puts the misheard lyrics up while the song is playing that I had to stop several times to wipe my eyes and blow my nose .


    Sorry I can't post the link .

    One afternoon I told my fiance that we needed to go shopping for our wedding bands.
    He looked at me dumbfounded and then said: "Where do you wear a wedding band? On your head? Thought only women wore those?"

    I started to laugh uncontrollably but managed to shake my head no...

    He then asked if it was maybe an arm band? LOL

    To this day I can't help but laugh...haha

    He had never heard the term wedding band!!
    So I had to explain that it was another term for 'Wedding ring'....lol

    I always heard "dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief" instead of "done dirt cheap". Even now that I know the right lyrics, I still sing Dunder Chief, because it's more fun.

    :laugh: I thought it was, "dirty deeds and the thunder chief... I didn't get corrected until college.

    My oldest son's family nickname is "Boo Boo." When my younger son was little, he couldn't say "Boo Boo" -- so he calls his beloved brother "Doo Doo." Luckily my oldest is 8, and sincerely loves his little brother, so he doesn't seem to mind at all.

    The grandparents, on the other hand, are APPALLED. :laugh:
