When you were little, did you confuse lyrics to songs?

    When I was little and I first heard the Rocky theme song, instead of "Getting strong now" I thought they were saying, "I eat dog chow".

    When I was in the second grade iI went to my friends house and he had the 45 record of that song " The Lion Sleeps Tonight". We used to call it the weenie song because it sounded like he was saying "weenie, weenie, oh weenie, weenie..." . Then my older brother told me they were also siging, " whip the weenie, whip the weenie, whip the weenie, oh whip the weenie". We used to thin k we were sneaky listening to the record and my friends mom finallt took it from us, broke it and threw it away.

    Does anyone have any similar stories?

    I can't remember my own, but when my brother was younger he confused some country song where is says "it just keeps getting better" to "your chest keeps getting better". My dad laughed his ass of with that one. That song "Glycerin", my friend thought it was "Kiss the Rain". There're some others, I just can't think of them right now.

    Not really.

    I used to confuse the songs "breaking the law" and "hell bent for leather" by judas priest.

    Seriously go try this.

    You can sing the chorus of Breaking The Law to the chorus of Hell Bent For Leather, and it sounds sick lol.

    It's been said that Bob Dylan confused the Beatles' lyrics 'my love I can't hide' with 'my love I get high'.

    Probably the most confusing diction is that of Michael McDonald. Don't get me wrong. Great singer, song writer, keyboard player. But you can't understand what the dude is saying! Sounds like he has a mouth full of mash potatoes. :)

    I always thought the lyric,

    "Jeremy spoke in" from Pearl Jams Jeremy was "It'll be smokin' "

    I can't understand a fucking word Eddie Vedder says.:tongue:

    That Alice in Chains song Been Caught Stealing, the part where he sang "and he walked right through the door" I used to think he sang "and he walked right through the dog" thinking it was about an outer body experience.

    Often but at least I'm not alone on this one song “I’d really Love to See You Tonight”
    by England Dan and John Ford Coley

    The actual lyrics: I'm not talking about movin' in

    What I heard: "I'm not talking about the linen or lennon"

    My pastor used to hear that same one wrong. He heard it as "I'm not talkin' about millinium."

    When I was like 10, and obsessed with Aerosmith, any part of the song I didn't know, I just made up when I was singing along.

    I was thinking that too. But I thought I might possibly be wrong and I didn't want to look stupid. So I kept my mouth shut. Thanks for steppin' up. :)

    For 30 + years I was in search of pelicure to smoke since Gracie made it sound adventurous. I thought it might be a Telemahooka Indian herb. Oh those youthful indiscretions.

    And if you go chasing rabbits
    And you know you're going to fall
    Telemahooka, smoking pelicure.
    Has given you the call...

    And if you go chasing rabbits
    And you know you're going to fall
    Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
    Has given you the call
