    Jason derulo - want to want me

    " too hard to sleep, I got the ****s on the floor".

    Taylor swift blank space

    " got a long list Starbucks lovers."

    Haha I thought the exact same thing about both those songs!

    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no power
    He's got his jumbo lease

    My love has got no fame
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease

    Omg I'm laughing so hard right now...I always thought it was "jumbo lease" as well.
    My God, I'm all giddy now.

    The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight by REM,

    I always thought it was a song about Tony The Baker.

    I always thought he was calling Jamaica man. :o

    Your hat strategically dipped below one eye.
    Your scarf it was apricot.
    You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte.

    I always thought that it was.......... as you watched yourself 'go by'

    My daughter used to sing "she's got a monkey, that's why I love her" - Ne -yo Miss Independent. She also insisted the Big Yellow Taxi song was " they paved paradise and put up a f**kin lot".
    When I was small I used to sing "the hippy on the window pane " for "the Indiana wind and rain" in David Soul's Silver Lady. More recently I thought The Script were saying you won't find faith and hope down the tennis court :)

    My cousin heard 'Disturbia' as 'Stir it up' and was on the dancefloor carrying on like he was stirring a massive pot.

    Don't go, jason waterfalls.

    Also, sia has the worst diction ever. There's always at least one line in her songs I don't understand.

    Until recently I thought the chorus to Moloko's The Time is Now was "You won't be safe until the morning", instead of "Give up yourself unto the moment".

    Also U2's City of Blinding Nights apparently does NOT contain the lines
    "Can yousee the beauty in sodomy?
    What happened to the beauty I had in sodomy?"

    (It's "inside of me". Much less interesting!)
    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no power
    He's got his jumbo lease

    My love has got no fame
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease

    I thought she was saying "he's got his trampolines".

    I thought it was "Scent of a Woman", like the name of the Al Pacino film. :o

    Not a song as such but back in the day, there was an ad on telly where the jingle went. 'Let The Big O Flow, Club Orange'

    For ages, I thought the jingle went 'Let the B.O. Flow, Club Orange'

    That Imelda May classic, "My Big Fat Handsome Man." And here was me thinking she was being progressive... and that I had a chance....

    My own Freed From Desire mishearing was "My lover's got no money, he's got his humble niece." I knew that couldn't be right, but this was pre-internet....

    In fairness, your version makes (a little) more sense.


    You know, I just looked up the lyrics for Freed From Desire given how often it was popping up.

    So its not "he's got his dungarees" after all O.O

    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no power
    He's got his jumbo lease

    My love has got no fame
    He's got his jumbo lease
    My love has got no money
    He's got his jumbo lease

    What's the real lyrics? They sound spot on to me!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Destiny's child:

    I heard "I don't think you're steady, fcuk this belly"

    Turned out to be "I don't think you're ready, for this jelly".

    My version makes more sense.
