Makes you wonder what's going through some folks' heads, eh?

Misinterpreted song lyrics
I swear the first time I heard "Don't let the sun go down on me" by
Elton John and George "Butt" Michaels I though the lyrics were "Don't
let YOUR son go down on me". Must be pretty common though.
A friend of mine thought Til Tuesday' "Voices Carry" was "Boys are Scary"
Well, I always though "Bad Moon Risin'" was saying "There's a
bathroom on the right"....
How about the obvious from Bohemian Rhapsody :
"Is the real life, or is this just Battersea"
and
"Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard..."
My girlfriend thought the chorus to Mr.Mister's "Kyrie Eleison" said
"carry a laser through the darkness of the night."
"I never seen the Pizza Burnin'"
(Beast of Burden, Rolling Stones)
I had a friend who used to think the song "Our Lips are sealed" by the
group the Go-Go's was "I lust of seals...".
"I call for pizza" for Pasty Cline's "I fall to pieces"
"I bought you a great amplifier" instead of "I brought you a crate of
papaya" in Steve Miller's Jungle Love?
"Last nite I dreamt of a bagel" La isla bonita, Madonna)
How about, from REM's "What's the Frequency Kenneth?"
- -You said that ironing was the shackles of youth.
Or from Voice of the Beehive
- -There's a bald Aryan int he back of my car
(There's a barbarian in the back of my car)
"Hippie with a wristshot"
(Hit me with your best shot, Pat Benatar)
Jimi Hendrix
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky"
- --> "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"
I always thought it was "Want a camero. I really want a camero. Want a
caaameerrroooo. But I don't have the diiinnneeerooooo."
had a coworker that thought huey lewis was singing 'I want a new
truck' instead of 'I want a new drug'
And Bob Dylans ode to the Formicidae:
"The Ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind..."
(The answer my friend...)
I have a friend who thought that Falco's "Rock me Amadeus" was "Rock me
Hot Potatoes"
These two girls I was friends with thought "Ice Ice Baby"
was "S.S. Navy" ----for weeks!
Several friends of mine would dance around singing 'Flea Spray' while
working in a restaraunt kitchen. I didn't have the heart to tell 'em
it was 'Freeze Frame' (J. Geils Band)
My favorite from The Beatles "Michelle": Michelle, my bell, sunday
monkeys play piano songs, play piano songs.
