I always thought Bush was singing "Mushyhead"

 

[someone]

As a kid, at the top of my lungs, this Johnny Rivers song.....

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Asian man, secret Asian man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

When I was a kid, I thought that the end of Row Row Row your boat was "Life's a butterbean."

If this is life, im scared.

My most famous mistake-


Brian Setzer Orchestra song - (ex-frontman for Stray Cats ) Jump, Jive and Wail

What the song said ..."you gotta jump, jive then you wail"

What I thought and sang- "you gotta drunk driver in your way"


Sang that out loud until corrected at a party.

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy" -- "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
(He actually sang this during a live performance as a joke.)

"There's a bathroom on the right." -- "Bad Moon Risin'" by CCR

More to come as I think of them....

 

[HennessyRob]

This one is courtesy of my life and the song will never be the same for either of us:

Swim in a deep sea of **maggots**
Take all your big plans and break them
This is bound to be awhile
Your body is a wonderland

 

[saintfan-n-alex]

Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment. - Good Times.
Any time you need a friend. - Good Times.
Any time you&#8217;re out from under.
Not getting hassled, not getting hustled.
Keepin&#8217; your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs. - Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times.
Scratchin&#8217; and surviving. - Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line - Good Times. - --> didnt know what this was till chappel show
Ain&#8217;t we lucky we got &#8216;em - Good Times.

CLOSING THEME LYRICS

Mmmmmm
Just lookin' out of the window.
Watchin' the asphalt grow.
Thinkin' how it all looks hand-me-down.
Good Times, yeah, yeah Good Times

Keepin' your head above water
Makin' a wave when you can

That just reminded me of another really lame lyric mistake I made when I was younger.

"18 and Life" by Skid Row. Despite the clear title to the song, I thought it was:

"18 in life, you're driving
18 and lock your doors."

Thankfully I saw the video and realized the song title and figured out my mistake. But it was probably a month after the song was out.

 

[Optimus Prime]

i don't know the name of the song or the singer but it was popular in the mid-late 90s.

in the chorus he kept singing "GLISTENING"

I always thought that it was a commercial and he was saying "LISTERINE"

Oh well. making out lyrics aren't my strength anyway

IN the song Born on the Bayou by CCR.

I can still my old hound dog barking.
Chasin down a "Who Do They"

What the hell is a "WHo Do They"

Lyrics websites have it as

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
