one of my big pet peeves is when people sing along to the radio when the obviously do not know the words. DH does this constantly. He always sings that Aerosmith song, I don't want miss a thing as, "I dont wanna mess arounnnnnnddddd." !!!!! ARG!

I hate this too, especially when they don't even try. I had a friend in HS who never knew the words but would always sing a long. That Chumbawamba song was really popular back then and she'd sing
"he drinks a wisky drink, he drinks a blah blah drink, he drinks a vodka drink he shamlaya blaha" and then hum along to the rest of the song until she knew a few words again.
I have a million of them, and I'll sing along even if I don't know all the words. I just sing "La la mmmmmmm mmmm" along to the song. DH loves it. Just LOVES it!
I was pretty good at Don't Forget the Lyrics, though. But there were too many commerical breaks so I couldn't watch it.
I am trying to remember, but the best was on Conan when he thought Tiny Dancer by Elton John actually said "Hold me closer Tony Danza." It was super funny!
"We'll live together, with a roof right over our heads ...
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed ...
We'll share the same room, ya, we'll japrophize the bread..."
when in actuality, I believe now it's "where job provides the bread" which makes MUCH more sense.
Neither one of us could EVER come up with an answer as to what the word "japrophize" meant, and I have to admit that for some time I actually thought it may be a racial slur, so I wouldn't sing that part.

I do this, it's cute and endearing.
And I AM trying, I just don't know all the words. I have a mental block on some songs.
I've screwed up so many songs, and been laughed at for it, I can't even pick one out. But if my DH were here... he'd have a pretty good time quoting me
I thought the song that goes "Mr. Big Stuff who do you think you are..." was really an ode to carpenters/handy men "Mr. FIXER...who do you think you are..."
"We'll live together, with a roof right over our heads ...
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed ...
We'll share the same room, ya, we'll japrophize the bread..."

HA! This is too funny. BTW I think it's "Jah provides the bread" but job makes perfect sense...much more than japrophize!

super funny!
That was on a Friends episode...I think Phoebe thought it said Tony Danza? I can't listen to that song anymore without thinking of Tony Danza!
There's an awesome website that keeps track of this kind of thing:
Mine was in Simon and Garfunkle's "cecilia" I totally thought the lyric "up in my bedroom" was "up and down and through". which, since they are talking about the horizontal mambo- seemed to also fit!
When I was kid my mom used to make 2 kinds of artichoke dip- one hot and one cold. So when i heard Huey Lewis and the news "Heart and Soul" I thought it said-
"She's a artichoke, (it should be 'She's got heart and soul')
I always thought that the song Bilster in the sun was actually Twister in the sun....
Dh always thought that song "who are you" by the who was just "ooohh ahhhh ohhhh" LOL!
HA! I always thought it said "blue water...do do do do" So here I was at the Bluewater Grille in Newport Beach years ago and started singing the song "blue waterrrrr" and my BF says to me "I love that song from CSI so catchy" To which I reply, "yeah but I dont get why they are singing about water when they are in the desert." The whole table busted up laughing and I was then told it was "Who are you." Total blonde moment

I mostly have stories about other people...I'll try to think of some.
The one in the silly confessions post was a friend that used to sing:
"nobody's gonna breaka my spine, nobody's gonna hold me down...oh no, I got to keep on moving"
I'll try to think of some others. I have another friend who is NOTORIOUS for this...i just can't think of some of them...

I had to text my friend. Okay, her obvious ones for which I would tease her relentlessly (in a friendly and i-absolutely-adore-her way) were:
"Give me the Beach Boys to free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away"
and "And I miss you....yeah....like a desert's mystery"
LOL! I miss my friend.
Bob Marley's - Is This Love -
A girlfriend and I both thought this...
"We'll live together, with a roof right over our heads ...
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed ...
We'll share the same room, ya, we'll japrophize the bread..."
when in actuality, I believe now it's "where job provides the bread" which makes MUCH more sense.

OMG - a lot of song I'm sure.
Likeee... Rollin' Stones "Beast of Burden"... I thought it was "Big Suburban". OMG - I'm lame.

There's an awesome website that keeps track of this kind of thing:
https://www.kissthisguy.com/ Kiss This Guy as in "scuze me while I kiss this guy" (kiss the SKY)
I had a problem with that song too, except I heard it as "pizza burning". ?"I'll never be your pizza burning...." ?yeah. ?@_@?

She's hot and cold,
hot lovin' every night... whoa!"
Um, yeah....
