What song lyrics have you heard people singing wrong?

Question

there is an article on MSN at the moment about misheard song lyrics. I find I'm very good at picking up song lyrics, but a lot of my family members and friends crack me up with their versions of songs, such as "swallow a magpie" (swallow my pride).

What song lyrics have you or your friends/family misheard?

Answer 1

a dance record in the early 90s had a line 'free at last free at last' and one of my friends would sing 'vietnam vietnam'!!

Answer 2

My 5 year- old cousin singing "Me Love" by Sean Kingston

Original:

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-oh

Why do you have to go-oh

my cousin's version:

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-oh

Why did you get the hobo

away from blah-blah (lyrics were to hard to spell out)

mi rab (me love)

Answer 3

Haha yeah, my mum told me about this kid in her school (she's a teaching assistant) singing Avril Lavigne's 'Things I'll Never Say'. and instead of saying 'I wanna see you go down on one knee', she said 'I wanna see you go down on me'. Hahaha.

Answer 11

this girl i know use to  sing holla back girl by gwen stefani

but inisted she would say "harlem fat girl"

Answer 12

The classic "'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy" (Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix) instead of "'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky"

One that I always get wrong :

Tori Amos - Horses - "I've got me samosas to ride on" instead of "I've got some horses to ride on" - I should've  taken notice of the track's title.

and

Megson - I Lied - "But I couldn't see the atom bomb" instead of "But I couldn't see that I'd done wrong" my version made very little sense in terms of the rest of the song.
