You guys are making me cry! Hilarious! This is a misinterpretation my husband will not let me live down: the Queen lyrics “another one bites the dust-Uh!” I thought it was “another one bites the doctor!” seemed to make sense to me!Poor dentists!–Oh, can someone clear this up for me? my sister-in-law and I always argue over this one: my thought is “nip it in the bud” instead of “nip it in the butt”

When I was a child I thought that “Chevrolet” was “chicken leg.”

Drives me crazy to hear someone say, “I could care less.” when what they really mean to say is “I couldn’t care less.”

For the longest time, I thought Gwen Stefani (the Hollaback Girl) was simply telling us that her most beautiful posterior was both slim and shapely with her proclamation she “ain’t no haulin’ back, girl.”

Remember that old song that goes, “Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you”? It came out when I was about four, and I used to sing it, “Every time you go away, you take a piece of MEAT with you.” And I always imagined it was about a little girl who always ran away from home, but brought cold cuts with her so that she wouldn’t starve.

This is actually backwards from the rest. In the song “Love” by Keyshia Cole she sings “I can’t believe you hurted me” … yes she actually sings “hurted”. I always laugh when people sing it as “I can’t believe you’re hurting me…”.

Also, another favorite of mine is Catcher in the Rye. The whole book (well at least Holden’s dreams of the future) are based on an oronym. He wants to protect kids and be the Catcher in the Rye, but sadly he matures when he finds out that the gig is really a “A catcher of the Rye”

The words to Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” sounded to me like, “I can’t believe you kiss your cock at night”.
It’s really “I can’t believe you kiss your car good night”!

Also, a friend of mine thought the words to the Christmas hymn said “Gloria…in a Chelsea stable”.

A friend in his late 50’s at the time thought the lyrics in the Salt-N-Pepa song Push It were saying:
“Ah, pussy”
“Pussy real good”.
Sorry, just calling it like he heard it.
