In the song Over My head (Cable Car) by The Fray (one of my favorite songs btw), the title of song is mentioned in the lyrics "And you lose the argument in a cable car".
The first few times I heard the song this is what I thought the lyrics were.
"And you lose the argument with Kierkegaard." (YES that is a word...in fact it's a person look him up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me.)
Yeah. I know. My husband also thought that the song Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks said
"Just like the one winged dove."
I'm not the only one whose screwed up lyrics. Do you have any good ones you want to share. I don't think you can beat my Kierkegaard though.

oh I don't know about that....I will match your Kierkegaard to:
Josh Gracins "Nothing to Lose"
The lyrics ARE: Breaker, Breaker one-nine, she's a big ol' Flirt...
We were in a car with friends and I belted out "Breaker, Breaker one-nine, it's a Big Old Bird....."
Okay, "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash, forever I thought is said "Rock the Cash Box"
BTW, great song Over My Head. I watched the video on U-tube to really pay attention to the lyrics.
Am I the only one who thought "Bad Moon Rising" was saying "There's the bathroom on the right..." ?
And there is still a line in U2's Elevation that I can't understand. I think it's Edge (in the background) singing something like "Take a stop and sill in ah." That's my best guess.
oh my I am cracking up!!! I totally use to think the same thing as T!!! LMBO!!!
but my honey gives me the hardest time about the song by Toto, called Hold the line.. the title is the chrous but in Jr. High I swore that the words were:
for the lies instead of
Hold the line.
and my favorite is from FRIENDS when Phoebe thinks Elton Johns is singing about Tony Danza.
great post today, very intereactive LOL
My song lyric goober is from Toto: Africa.
It says: There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
I thought it said: There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do.
okay, I'm almost embarassed to admit this . . . remember the song "I Believe in Miracles" by Hot Chocolate? This was popular when I was probably about jr high maybe? (yeah, I'm that old), and I thought the lyrics were "I Believe in Milk Holes . . . You Sexy Thing" and I thought that was the dumbest song in the world! Singing about Milk Holes! LOL
btw: the real lyrics are:
I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing
for some reason I can only think of primary songs right now.
"parents kind of weird"
(kind and dear)
"by this shalmeno"
(shall men know)
And the missionary song where they talk about growing a foot or two always had me confused.
You can only go on missions if you have three or more feet? Maybe it helps them walk faster.
We had the record "I'm a Mormon" and there is a song about Sunday that I always sang...
"It's easy to see why it's special to me, on Sunday I feel very sad inside"
it really is ..."on Sunday I feel very satisfied"
no wonder why I was always depressed as a child.
funny! I'll have to think about it more, but in college we went to a country club, and the song Shamless was on my Garth Brooks and the guy I was dancing with was singing really loud and he thought the words were shaving, so he was singing, I'm Shaving, when it comes to loving you!!
Queens Bohemian Rhapsody is "He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-"... I thought he was spending his life in a monstrosity"...that the one on the tip of my brain...I know the first time I heard Meredith Brooks "Bitch" (I didn't say it, it's in quotes is a title!!) I thought she said WITCH...then I learned otherwise...but I still liked it!!
I just found you thanks to Good in Bed. Love the blog! Sarah McLachlan has a brand new song out. I don't even know what the words are supposed to say, but my husband swears she is saying "I feel like a donkey."
