I was listening to Benaroya Hall yesterday and Eddie said Mike McCready thought the Kiss song went "I wanna rock and roll all night...and part of every day". Funny as hell.

Not mine, but I heard someone else singing "I'll never be your pizza burnin'" (Beast of Burden)

Caught a friend of mine singing "Despite all my rage I am still just a'raising cane"

My friend thought that Rage Against the Machine song was about seashells. No joke.

remember how the original post is part of someones standup

On Beck's song "Loser," the part where he sings in spanish "soy un perdador(I'm a loser)." I heard "so open up the door." However, in my defense, his spanish is pretty unintelligible.

When I was kid I thought in the Glenn Campbell song Rhinestone Cowboy That he was getting "Carrots and Lettuce" from people that he didn't know as opposed to "Cards and Letters"

I guess it had to do with all the "eat your veggie" brow beating that I was being subjected to at the time.

I was guilty of thinking Jimmy Hendrix was gay.

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

This isn't mine personally, but still the funniest ever. My buds in high school and I were way into Megadeth, and listened to it every morning on the way to school. The song "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying" contained a line in the chorus that went "If there's a new way..."

This guy always sang it as "This isn't new wave"

He always got so into it and would pump his fist when he sang it. None of us had the heart to tell him otherwise.

Was there always a bottle of Visine and a large 16oz spray bottle of a classic cologne like say Lagerfeld or Drakkar Noir on board for those rides to school?

Substitute Polo for Drakkar Noir and you nailed it.

Pearl Jams, "Hearts and Thoughts" I always sing, "Hearts and farts they fade
fade away"

Or in Black, it's "Were laid spread out before me as her body once did" and I sing, "Her legs were spread out before me, as her body once did."

In high school, we changed Billy Idol lyrics of "Eyes without a face" to "How's about some face?"

My friend said when he was in college, some people changed the Peter Frampton lyrics of "I want you to show me the way" to "I want you to sit on my face."

Manfred Mann's Earth Band and "Blinded by the Light."

"Revved up like a duece" is the lyric but all I heard was "Wrapped up like a douche" and I knew that wasn't right.

Also, STP's "Plush." I've people say "Where are you goin' with that map I found" and "Where are you goin' with the master plan" instead of "Where you goin' with the mask I found."

Well, thanks for setting me straight on "Blinded by the Light." Not sure I know what "revved up like a deuce" means either...

"I get knocked up, but I go out again..."

I have a feeling GiveEmHellBill has solved an age old mystery for most of us.

When I was little, I thought the Neil Diamond song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was about a casual minister called "Reverend Blue Jeans."

Springsteen wrote it, naturally it's about a car, like a "deuce coupe."

drivinwest, that is the funniest thing on this thread for me! Excellent, excellent...

What does "deuce coup" mean, anyway? A car that weighs a ton? Sorry, my dad taught me about baseball, not cars.

I was almost a teenager before I understood that "Silent Night" was about the birth of an "infant so tender and mild.'

I always heard it as "infanso" and figured that was some sacred name for the son of God, probably coined by some of those mysterious Italian papal dudes.

I could tell you what I still think are the real words to "Louie, Louie," but I might get banned.

Here's an interesting site:

Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.

I believe "Duece Coupe" specifically refers to a Ford V-8 coupe from the year 1932.

Clyde Barrow "endorsed" this particular model as being the best, fastest and most reliable car available and he and Bonnie stole one whenever they could.

He especially liked the acceleration and the running boards.

Harrison Ford's hot rodder character drove a yellow one in "American Graffiti."

While traveling in Europe, we were listening to this band singing the Doors classic "Roadhouse Blues" as:
"Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself some veal."

Very obscure, but in the Whitesnake song "Still of the Night", during the long guitar solo, Coverdale says something that my brothers always sang "I neeeeeed some groceries". I'm still not sure what he sings.

And of course the classics:
1.Hold me closer Tony Danza (or as my friend thought it was "hold me close I'm tired of dancing"
2.There's a bathroom on the right
3.Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you
4.There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do
5....with four hundred children and a crop in the field

What deuce coupe were the Beach boys singing about?

I also thought the pearl jam song was "legs spread out before me"

Kenny Rogers, forgot about that one.

A friend's (now) wife thought the Nixons were singing "Sisters in ICU" not "Sister I see you..."

The Pearl Jam lyrics "Don't go on me" from the Vs. album sound an awful lot like "Stomp the wombat."

I really think we could take any Pearl Jam song and make our own lyrics to it.

Mrs. Bohica thought Aerosmith's "Dude looks like a Lady" was "Do me like a Lady."

when my little brother was about 10 i heard him singing john michael montgomery's "sold" and the line that says "we found love on the auction block" he sang as "we made love on the auction block"

I know a guy that thought ACDC's Dirty Deeds was "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief", instead of the actual "Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap".

As a kid I thought it was Reverend Blue Jeans, just as chris93 did.

One of my roommates thought the Rage Against The Machine song was "Red Neck Kings of Funk".

I had another roommate that thought the line of "Well I just heard the news today..." from Creed's With Arms Wide Open was "Well Nigel heard the news today..."

A few of my old roommates are still convinced that Def Leppard's Love and Affection says "you've got the big dick jiz on me" instead of "you've got the heartbeat take a chance on me". It is scary how close those two sound in that particular song, though!

My brother sang "glorified version of a pelican" instead of "glorified version of a pellet gun" in Pearl Jam's Glorified G.

My roomate at the time thought the Metallica song, "Sad, but true" was Sand Patrol.

We didn't let him forget that for the next couple of years.

I will top them all. Driving with a friend of mine, van halen was on the cd player. Right Now was on. At the line "miss the beat, lose the rythym" my friend sings "masterbate, lose the river." Speechless I rewinds the song a bit and ask him to sing it again. Same thing. The third time I told him not to sing, still he thinks he's right. Finally i tell him the real words and them begin pointing and laughing.

No no no, it's "I got no job, but I'm an opera fan".

And that old song by the Go-Gos, "Arlis the Seal" is pretty good.
