Which song lyrics did you get wrong as a kid?

[CrimsonGhost]

I still hear "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" as "Tenth Avenue Freestyle". I can't shake it.

[WannabeMego]

My Friend used to Sing this Billy Joel Lyric...Wrong...

Oh, I’m going to listen to my 45’s
Ain’t it wonderful to be alive
When the rock ‘n’ roll plays, yeah
When the memory stays, yeah
It's a Kick in the Face
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a Kick in the Face

I was notoriously bad at understanding lyrics. I thought the Bee Gees' "Tragedy" was "Raggedy". I was convinced they were singing about Raggedy Ann and Andy. I was five years old, give me a break haha.

One of my favorites that I sang for years was the chorus of Firefall's "You Are The Woman", that I thought went....

"You are the woman that I always dreamed of, I knew it from the start.....I saw your face and that's the last I seen of my eyeballs."

I still think of that every time I hear that song

[Mr.Marion]

[Mr.Marion]

In the song, Don't Pull Your Love Out on Me Baby ......... I used to think he said, "cry four hundred years"

Yep, a very strangely arranged song.

Suffragette City by David Bowie

“This mellow fat chick just put my spine out of place” Actual lyric: “This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place”

Rock the Casbah, Had lot of words I didn't know as a kid.

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

I dare not tell you what lyrics I used to get wrong. I used to hear nonsense words that don't even exist, lol.
ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man is one that springs to mind. I can't spell what I used to hear, let alone say what.

[EmergencyIan]

Oh Yeah... Peter Cetera sings that line so funny. I never did know what he was trying to sing. How does he turn the word "we" into a three syllable word....

He really does sing it funny, but such a great and distinctive voice.

Hendrix Excuse me, while I kiss this guy...(excuse me while I kiss the sky)

[Nostalgiabuff]

Blinded by the light... Wrapped up like a ****** and the runner in the night.

Ha... The censor blocked the word "doooosh".

LOL, that is always what I thought it said too....

[nazgul]

The theme for Flashdance....instead of "take your passion and make it happen" I thought it was "take your pants down, and make it happen".......I thought it was the dirtiest song ever.....

[SKotK]

In the Chicago song "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," I thought that Peter Cetera was singing: After all the hooey we've been through, I will make it up to you. (he was singing: After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you.)
