What Are the Lyrics to This Song Anyway?

Tell us the song lyrics you got completely wrong and we'll make a playlist.

Is he singing "Sugar pie, honey lumps"? Or is it "Sugar pie, muddy bumps"?

Well, it's neither. But we made up those lyrics just so we could sing along, right? We all do it...

So, Patch wants to know the song lyrics that you got completely wrong just for the sake of singing along. Chances are, your version is completely hilarious.

Tell us these three things in the comments:

• The song title and artist

• What you thought the lyrics were

• What the lyrics actually are

You have until Aug. 2 to tell us your lyric flub. On Aug. 3, we'll run a Spotify playlist with all the songs and we'll compare lyrics.

Have fun!

The beginning of Springteens Like a Rock- I thought he said stood there bowling. Turns out he stood there boldly.
Also Areosmith didn't drain macaroni all night long, but the train kept a rollin' all night long.

My Boyfriend sang Til Tuesday Voices Carry.."Hush, Hush, Keep it down down, this is scary" instead of "Hush, Hush, keep it down down Voinces Carry" Hence the name of the song.
Rachel Abbey McCafferty July 27, 2012 at 08:15 pm
This one might be my favorite yet.

Once when I was at the beach I overheard two women talking about this song, and one was saying she didn't understand why they were singing: "Hush, hush, let's go downtown for spaghetti." I wanted to tell her "No, it's "Voices Carry," but that would have been almost like criticizing her for talking loud, so I let it go.
Jean Dubail (Editor) July 27, 2012 at 08:26 pm
LOL Tracy: see my comment above on Voices Carry.

My sister always sang, "I can't coke a lot" instead of "I can't go for that by Hall and Oates. While my other sister sang, "hanana" for "hard to handle now" by the Black Crowes.
Kathleen July 27, 2012 at 09:25 pm
I used to think this one was "for church, we go downtown, it's so scary"
Carolyn July 27, 2012 at 09:37 pm
My friend thought "Grazing in the grass" by the Friends of Distinction was "Snakes in the grass"

I used to think they were saying "hush, hush, even downtown, this is scary." It's so weird how we all hear different variations!

As a kid, i thought "Dirty feet and the thunder chief" were the lyrics to "dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap" by AC/DC

My cousin thought that The Buckinghams song, Kind of a Drag was an advertisement for Canada Dry.
Diane Busch July 28, 2012 at 12:39 am
These both keep me laughing hysterically, especially the "drain macaroni". LOL
Diana Zarlenga July 28, 2012 at 02:48 am
Back when my daughter was 4, she thought the Eagles were singing "life in the vasoline" instead of "life in the fast lane"! It used to crack everyone up. Hmmm she may have understood the song more than we thought! Scary...LOL

When my youngest daughter Megan was REALLY young, she thought the chorus to "Yankee Doodle" ended with the words, "and with the girls EAT CANDY" instead of "and with the girls BE HANDY." Sometimes we still sing what's come to be known in the family as "the Megan version" and it makes us laugh to this day!

When my now grown up daughter Jackie was about 10 yrs. old, she loved to sing Paul Young's "Every Time You Go Away." Something just didn't sound right, so I asked her to repeat the works and sure enough, she was singing "Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you." When she was told it was "you take a piece of me with you" her look of horror and confusion was priceless. At least she was on key.

If you really want a challenge, YouTube the studio version of the Stones
Tumbling Dice. See if you can figure out what Mick's singing. That's a tough one. But my vote goes to "I want a piece of date bread" Truly funny.
Mary July 29, 2012 at 09:47 pm
I definitely thought it was "this is scary" rather than "voices carry".

LONG TRAIN RUNNING by The Doobie Brothers
"You know I saw THIS MOOSE down along the tracks." Correct lyric: "You know I saw Miss Lucy ..." :-) Mind the mooses-es-es!
Richard Ian Tracy July 30, 2012 at 03:38 pm
It's actually Manfred Mann's Earth Band and what is actually said in their version is "revved up like a deuce" -- but it sounds incredibly like "wrapped up like a douche".
That song is a Bruce Springsteen song and the original lyric is "cut loose like a deuce" -- which rhymes! :-)

"I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett
When my son was 4, he would sing "I love rock and roll, so put another dime in the juice box, baby!" Instead of "I love rock and roll, so put another dime in the jukebox, baby!"

I needed to put curtains up in my boyfriend's living room and took forever doing it:
Cream/Clapton:.....in the station, with no curtains........

I am surprised that no one will admit to the "Mother of All" misheard lyrics.
Marsie Doats and dosie doats, and little lamsy divie, a kiddle the ivytoo, would't you? Mare's eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy, a kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? That shows how far back I go.
James Thomas July 30, 2012 at 05:41 pm
Sorry,
I forgot the artist; Mitch Miller TV program.
Melissa Hebert July 30, 2012 at 07:03 pm
I always associate Mitch Miller with Christmas because my parents had one of his "Sing Along With Mitch" Christmas albums. Ah, memories.
Mark A. July 30, 2012 at 07:37 pm
Not ELO, it was Manfred Mann.
Richard Ian Tracy July 30, 2012 at 07:52 pm
Apparently, many MANY non-German speakers thought that Falco was singing "Hot potatoes ... Hot POTATOES! Oh, oh, oh, hot potatoes!"
Amadeus, y'all!
Mary July 30, 2012 at 08:32 pm
What a good one!
Mary July 30, 2012 at 08:37 pm
My son reminded me he turned Bob Marley's Jammin' into Pajamas when he was little.
As in, "Oh, wear pajamas", "I hope you like pajamas too", "Yeah pajamas", "I want pajamas too".

Tiny Dancer. To me, it sounds like Elton John is saying "Hold me close like Tony Danza." And that's quite alright with me.

Some of us don't know where the wild bird center is. How about including an address?

Didn't get to see the bald eagle because I'm still waiting for an address.
