When I was younger I used to sing the wrong lyrics by mistake to songs cos thats what I thouth they were. Did you do that too?

I thougtgh the lyrics to the song Without You were:

I can't live
If living is a cartoon


any other examples?

What about Destiny's Child, I think it's Independent Women, that talks about Alf Garnett constantly, then asks us to "throw your pants at Batman ("Throw your hands up at me...""

A guy at school thought the opening line to Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays" was

"The silicon chip and cider head"

or how about

for Simple Minds "New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84)"

read "Eddie One, Eddie Two, Eddie Three, Eddie Four"

or

Cornershop "Brimful of Asha" read "Bim Boom Basha"

The Hot Chocolate song that goes "I believe in miracles" - thought it was "I believe in milko"!!

Probably loads more I can't think of right now - I tend to remember when I hear the song

I used to think the M Almond G Pitney song that has the lyrics "Too late for you too late for me" Was "Toilet for me Toilet for you" I only found about a few days ago! Been thinking it was Toilet ever since it first came out! And yes the song is Toilet too :P

On a rather drunken girls night out some years ago, where we all sang at the tops of our voices to any song that came on... my sister turned to me after belting out a particular track and said "what is an ecky pecky heart anyway"

Alright Now, by The Clash. I used to mishear "Let's move before they raise the parking rate" as something far more rude.

Also, That Don't Impress Me Much, by Shania Twain. The line that goes "I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight" sounds far more like "I can't believe you kiss your d*ck at night" to me!

Last one: Macy Gray and the line in one of her songs, "My world crumbles when you are not here". I thought for weeks that was "I blow bubbles"!

'Loving it in La Vida.'

For years I wondered exactly what country 'La Vida' was.

Not surprised there, she's got the vocal qualities of a toilet flushing!

Caught my university roommate singing that famous Madonna song,:

"I fell in love with some Dago..."

before the pc crowd mobs me, rest assured that I hurriedly put her right.

Peter Kay did that one on a previous tour. There were quite a few but the only ony I can remeber was Sister Sledge and We Are Family.

The lyric went "Don't let me marry the vicar", I can't remember what the correct lyric was.

I used to think Blondies 'Denise Denise' was a women singing with a Scottish accent. 'Toneets the neet' (tonights the night)



and Spandau Ballet 'I know this much is true' .. as a novice marches through
