I know there's websites and stuff devoted to this fair topic...but have YOU personally misunderstood any famous lyrics?When did you figure it out?For the longest time, I thought Stevie Nick's "Edge of Seventeen" contained "just like a one winged dove". It wasn't until a friend bet me a beer, and then forced me to open the CD cover that I realized it was supposed to be "White Winged Dove"...

mojo, you & milfus have got me crackin' up over here! "Slow-motion Walter the fire engine guy" That is freakin' hilarious! "excuse me, while i kiss this guy" It does sound like he's sayin' that though. I-468PS -- If ya' really wanna' hear some funked up lyrics, listen to some Black Oak Arkansas (Jim Dandy). When I looked up the lyics to some of their songs on their live album (Raunch N' Roll Live) I was like, "Damn, is that what he's sayin'?" Then it all made sense, cause I couldn't tell what the hell he was sayin' in most of the songs. All I knew is they were kickin' ass with their sound, and that's all that mattered at the time.

I seem to remember my first boyfriends mum singing Brimful of Asha "Everybody needs a good STRAW pillow"

This is so BAD, (sorry, hehe) but for years, my husband would sing the lines to Hall and Oates, "Kiss on My Lips" as, 'because your piss, your piss is on my lips, because your piss, your piss I can't resist, because your piss is on my lips when I turn out the lights. "Of course, it wasn't misunderstood on his part, he was just being naughty. (and gross)
