I’ve been hearing this song lyric wrong MY ENTIRE LIFE

[AngeloMysterioso]

Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then l watch ‘em roll away again.

My whole life I’ve thought that last line was

They don’t want to roll away again.

MIND. BLOWN.

Also thought ' trombeleese'! Heres an old one- till recently the beach boys line ' help me Martha' I thought was ' help me Barn'????!!! Weird now but still have trouble getting that outta my head.

*I used to think the line
"My world crumbles when you are not near"

Was "I wear goggles when you are not near"*

I thought it was “I walk cobbles when you are not near”

I always hear Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance as ‘I want John Barrowman’

My Grandma, bless her, used to sing "All the Young Dudes carry the NUDES".

Dh thought "hey where did we go?" (Brown eyed girl) was "hey there amigo"
Great thread.

For 15 years I thought the red hot chilli peppers wanted to fly away on a cell phone... in my head I pictured them all really tiny sitting on a little mobile phone

Charlie Puth song:
You just want attention you don’t want my heart..
Only I heard: you just wanna touch it..

Bless the rains down in Africa, there’s nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do...

KD Lang. Constant Craving. I caaaaaannnnnntttttt stttttaaaannnnnndddd grrrrrraaaaavvvvvyyyyyyy!

Disco 2000 We sang bouncing down the road. I still sing it that way now even though I long since found the correct words.

I was another trombalese wonderer.

Also yes to wig wam bam gonna set you on fire...

Otis Reading again
This is my lovers prayer... husband always sings this is my loaf of bread charmingly he’s taught the kids his version

"Happy looking for freeeeeeeeedoooooooom". I really didn't understand why he was on a quest when he was already happy.

Worse: my family was living in Berlin at the time as my dad had a job there. I kind of sort of convinced a whole lot of Germans that my version was correct, seeing as I was the only real English speaker around.

In my defense: I was six.

This will probably out me but years ago I went to Israel to work on a kibbutz.

( has relevance)

On my first ever night club trip with fellow travellers, I heard a song I had never heard before which I now know was the The Weather Girls singing “ It’s raining men”

Cue me then singing “ Israeli Men ... Hallelujah “ at the top of my voice. Repeatedly. In a packed mini bus all the way back to the kibbutz after we left the club....

Israeli Men ... Hallelujah

In all fairness and having worked there for a year:

That's true of about half of them - the other half being ugly as sin. I've yet to meet an average looking Israeli guy.

I've always thought the Grease song "You're the One that I Want" sounds like, "You're the Wizard of Oz."

At the very end of “One Vision”, does Freddie Mercury actually say “Fried chicken.” ???

DD when she was 3, used to sing "I'm asking all on the skis, what would life be" in ABBA's thank you for the music.

She also used to sing "No right or wrong no rules for me, I'm 3" in frozen's let it go.

I remember granny being upset at Free's "All right now" because she thought they swore and said "they're gonna raise the fucking roof" instead of "raise the parking rate"

My favourite came from Peter Kaye when he was talking about sister sledge singing "just let me staple the vicar" instead of "state for the record" in "we are family"

*thesnapandfartisinfallible"

The other line in La Isla Bonita I misheard was "young girls with eyes like potatoes"

My (now)13 year old is only this year convinced the Shakin Stevens song doesn’t sing:

We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath HER MISSING TOE
We'll kiss by candle light

Yes Lizzie. Huge Queen fan here.

Underneath HER MISSING TOE

I am still convinced that the Bee Gees sing "you come to me on a submarine" instead of (I presume Summer Breeze).

It's not a trombaleese???

Another one who thought Wham!'s Last Christmas went, 'This year, to semi frontiers...'

The Step into Christmas "the admission's free" line was "be a bichon frise" for years, before I finally googled it.

Jason Darulo 'I got the shits on the floor...'

DH thought Teenage Dirtbag went "He lives on my block, and he drives an iRock". He thought Apple had branched into car manufacturing.

Charlie Puth's Attention: 'You've been running round, running round, running round, throwing that turtle on my name.'

Freddie Mercury does indeed sing 'fried chicken' at the end of One Vision, you're not hearing things

Paperchains100 My DD and I always sing 'Shits on the floor' too. We had to google the actual lyrics.

"It's too hard to sleep
I got the sheets on the floor, nothing on me"

And another Last Christmas one.

So it's not friends with tie-dyes they have 'tired eyes'!
