Apparently, it's not "I'm not talkin' bout the linen..."
But rather "I'm not talkin' bout movin' in" |

My brother is still famous in our family for being overheard singing the following lyics to "Surfin' USA"
You'd see 'em wearing their baggies,
Their Rosh Hashanahs too.

I was listening to the Squeeze Singles album last night and I realized I probably misheard about 85% of their lyrics...
for example:
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the man obese
is what I heard
It's really:
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece |

The Bee Gee's:
"More than a woman..., more than a woman to me...."
I was driving to our shore house with my mom when this song came on, she got all annoyed and asked me why they were singing about bald headed women. I had to pull over from laughing.
(bald headed women.,...) |

Bob Dylan's Lay Lady Lay... MY mom was quite aghast when she heard the lyrics to the rest of the song. She thought it was more in the lay laydee lay (ala tra la la la) vein.. in her southern lady mind it was quite a brazen song. |

My brother in law used to think that "who can it be now"
was "coke and a female" when he was little,
and a friend of mine used to sing to Madonna's "last night I dreamt of San Pedro"
but instead thought she was saying "last night I dreamt of some bagel" |

Amory: I had it as "pool hall ace" also. In fact, I share a lot of these mishearings--guess that is why I wound up with hearing aids! |

You were supposed to have been aborted...
As sung by my evil stepmother. It got so bad, last year we gave her the Evita CD and the printed out lyrics as her Christmas present. You should hear my pops slaughter "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". |

We went to a wedding saturday night....husband and I were dancing to Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop till you get enough". We're happily singing along to the chorus when I realized I had no idea what the real words were.
Neither did my husband. He finally decided they were
"Keep on till the fun stops, don't stop till you get enough."
Um, honey....? You were WRONG!
[Chorus]
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough |

My aunt told me that when she was a kid, she sang this in school:
My country, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of the icing

In 1998 we saw John Fogarty at Radio City, the 1st time after 25 plus years of legal wrangling over his music that he could finally play his great classics and, you guessed it ,at the end of Bad Moon Rising he sang the last line as "there's a bathroom on the right". |

"Later on, we'll perspire
As we dream by the fire"
I also thought "Freeze Frame" (horrible song) was "Cheese Steak" for the longest time until my sister nearly died laughing when I was singing along with it (who knows why - I hated that song even when it was popular). |

(witchet stands are telephone poles, you see, and I noticed there were lots of them in the Republic!) |

When I was a child, of Mister Rodgers' Neighborhood watching age, I thought Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" was about "Lady Elaine," the puppet who lives in the Museum-Go-Round.
And for me it was, "Drain macaroni, all night long..."

For the longest time I wanted to know who 'Leslie' was in that song 'Groovin' by the Rascals (I'm serious) I thought they were saying 'You and me and Leslie, Groovin' on a Sunday Afternoon'
I remember I actually asked a co-worker about it and he set me straight. It took along tome to live that one down... |

I'll never be your pizza burnin' (Beast of Burden)
I also remembmer that when "For Those About to Rock" by AC/DC came out, my mother thought it was "For those about to rock, we saw Ruth Jones". The words are actually "we salute you."
Another AC/DC one: Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief for "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" (I think those are the right words...) |

How about Michael Jackson's Billy Jean? I always thought he was saying "but the chair is not my son." Turns it is supposed to be "but the kid is not my son" - but even knowing that it still sounds like he is saying "chair" to me. |
