just for fun, if you're lyrically challenged...
My husband loves to sing along to whatever song is on even though he doesn't know the words. The problem is, he THINKS he knows the words! I was just making fun of him last night and we started talking about all the misunderstood lyrics that i've "caught" him singing.
My personal favorite: I Will Always Love You, by Whitney Houston. So the song starts off "bittersweet memories...." And for YEARS he SWORE it was "you've been a sweet man, Maurice" hahaha I actually had to bring up the lyrics online to prove that one! He thought the guy in the movie The Bodyguard must be named Maurice! lmao
What's your favorite misunderstood lyric, or one you were shocked/ embarassed about?

Re: just for fun, if you're lyrically challenged...
I do this a LOT. I love singing loudly, and I don't care if I mess up. For usher's "OMG" song, the real words are "baby I can love you down" and I would sing "baby I can rub you down".
And for Tim Mcgraws BBQ stain song- he says "standing there in the ticket line" and I would always sing picket line. I had no idea
This goes back a way:
My mom thought MC Hammer's Can't Touch This was King Tuskus. She kept saying how much she loved his King Tuskus song and none of us could figure it out till one day it actually played on the radio while I was with her.
I can't think of one for myself, but DH used to mess up the words to Zippity Do Dah by saying:
"Mystery and satisfaction" instead of "Everything is satisfactual"
Salt and Pepa's Push It (did I just date myself with that one?)
I thought it was Bullshit. Ah...bullshit. Bullshit real good.
Oh gosh! This really had me laughing!! Now I'm going to sing King Tuskus everytime I hear that song!

I was really young and shouldn't have even known the word, but I thought Dude Looks Like a Lady, by Aerosmith was "Do the effing (real word here) lady"
I couldn't believe that they could play that on the radio and no one seemed to care!
Just remembered another one that my DH did. DS was screaming in the car on our roadtrip as an infant and we had to keep singing. It took a couple verses for me to realize that DH was saying "My body lies over the ocean" instead of "My Bonnie". We actually like the "My body" version better now, more entertaining!
Ok, just thought of another one, but I think I mentioned it on here once and it was DS. He thought "Silent Night" said "Sleep in heavenly bees" and I was so confused when he kept asking me to sing the "Bee's song".
DH confronted me a few years ago for letting the boys listen to the Jordin Spark's song, Love is a Battlefield.
She sings: Better go and get your armor, get your armor, get your armor... And, DH thought it was: Better go and get your rubber, get your rubber, get your rubber.... Not that the boys would have known what that meant anyways!
Our oldest still sings the Leona Lewis "Keep bleeding love" song as "Keep beating love" which I prefer anyways.
I still hear and sing Tom Petty's song "Won't back down" as "Walk back down" even though I know better.
omg I thought this too while playing just dance 2 AND they have the lyrics on the screen lol. But I can't really read and dance at the same time. I used to the think the Pissing the night away song was saying Kissing the night away....I like my version better so I still sing it that way!
I thought it was "bittersweet man Maurice" for the longest time! It made so much more sense when I finally figured it out.
My mom had a really funny one. In the Lonestar song "Amazed," she heard kids instead of kiss. She thought the guy must be really strange if he was talking about "the taste of your kids."
Oh! and my brother heard "Don't surrender 'cause you can win in this thin curled liver." in a Celine Dion song.
