you know the ones - you're convinced you know all the words until someone kindly points out that what you're singing makes no sense!

For instance, it took me an AWFULLY long time to unravel why My Chemical Romance in Teenagers sang about striking a "VIOLIN pose"

my favorite was always Cheap Trick's-Dream Police. Always sounded like they were saying "the dream police they come to PEE in my bed"
hahaha oh so great!

someone though that the song "like a G6" was actually like a cheese stick

My dad thought the song "Beggin' You" was "Daddy Cool"
He convinced himself the song was about him, haha.

lol. I am trying to think of some now

There's an article on msn about this! I've gotta find it now! It was pretty funny..

I've always been a big fan of REM and I could never figure out what stipe was singing on the sidwinder sleeps tonite. Things I thought it might be:
call cheryl baker
calling jamaica
call me if you hate her
turns out it's call me when you try to wake her

My sister thought the lyricsto a Robbie Williams song were
"Early morning when i wake up i look like Casper without the make up"
When it really was
"Early morning when i wake up i look like Kiss but without the make up" !!

My boyfriend was convinced that Stabbing Westward's song Shame went "How can I have sex without you," when it's really "How can I exist without you," lol!

in the car with my dad today listening to 'brick by boring brick' by paramore.... he thought hayley williams was singing 'bury the kettle'
I found that one too hilarious not to share ;)

I forgot ''like a cheese string, like a cheese string''
aka
like a g6 - far east movement
i think I may be a little bit hard of hearing x

I see i'm not the only one 'cheese stick'
I also thought it was g string at one point but....

My mom's horrible with that! We will be listening to a song and she will ask me "What did she say?? She's going to walk a llama?"

Here are some of the best with classic songs and new ones.

@Lo I was listening to the radio the other day and I thought the newsreader said Jedward were running for president..... I need a hearing test :P

Haha the other day I was listening to "Zombie" by The Pretty Reckless and my brother thought she was singing "I am wasabi" I couldn't stop laughing

AWWWW..... I know a few old ones.... probably a bit before your time. here is 1... will post some more up later.xx

Cant stand gravy... can't stand cravin.. K.D.Lang

There is this song, suicidal dream and I always heard:
..I put my head in the news..
but they sing:
..I put my head in the noose..

00ps...

Led Zeppelin, In My Time of Dying... somewhere towards the end of the song he repeats the same line over and over, though this is what it sounds like:

On my geeth-er, on my teeth-er, oh much easy, oh my cheese there, oh my tea there?, ma tea there? It’s got to be my tea there... etc

Always sounded like he’d been woken up suddenly and realised that someone had stolen his dinner

For years, i thought the Credence Clearwater Revival song "Bad Moon Rising" said 'Hey, there's a bathroom on the right' instead of 'Hey there's a bad moon on the rise'

turns out my mum was laughing at me for years before she had the heart to tell me i was singing it wrong.

mine as to be Dear Maria by All Time Low

the line is dear maria count me in, but always hear as Tia Maria (after the drink)count me in . i wound of carried on sing that way if it wasn't for my daughter tell me i was wrong

Not a song lyric but an advert for Mental Scum turned out to be for Mentos Gum!

lol, julie =] I thought it was something like that too.

oh god. there's this one song, sal paradise by futures. the line is "i'll show you the world
if you just take me by the hand
and talk about our souls"

but i'll be damned, 'our souls' sounds like arseholes. and it's repeated several times...

... and once you've heard it like that, that's the way you will hear it for evermore!

Fear of the Duck - Iron Maiden. I know it's Fear of the Dark, but it definatly still sounds like Duck

Love Iron Maiden, but you're right.... sounds like duck.

And also on the subject of mis-hearing an advert... In the UK at the moment there is an ad for "Activia Pouring Yoghurt" but I swear when they say it on the ad it sounds like "Activia Boring Yoghurt". Not very appealing

Haha, I heard that too! Ducks.... violins.... boring yoghurt... I need a hearing test!

I know it's not a song, but I heard an add on radio today about "The fastest way to Korea." Turns out the add was about "The fastest way to courier" xD

Outkast when they say 'Shake it like a polaroid picture' I thought it was 'Shake it like a qualified teacher'

Muse 'Glaciers melting in the dead of night' as 'Gay shoes melting in the dead of night'
and 'She burns our horizens' as 'she burnt out our raisins' :)

Also that 'more than a woman' song, I heard as 'more than a llama' :P

And destiny's child 'The shoes on my feet, I bought them, I depend on me' sounds like 'the shoes on my feet, Alf Garnet, I depend on meat.'

@Emma Muse are my favourite band but I've pretty much heard at least one line wrong in each song =] The glaciers one had me guessing for ages!

I actually had to go for a hearing test and apparently it's all fine but practically every sentence i'm like 'what?'
