So there you are. Cruising along with your best friend, on your way to have some fun in the sun. You have the windows down and the tunes cranked. You're both singing at the top of your lungs when suddenly, you realize you're the only one singing. You look over to see your friend staring at you with an odd hint of shock and confusion dancing in her eyes.
"What?"
Silence. Then hysterical laughter.
"I want a new TRUCK?! A truck?!? Since when are those the words? It's drug. I want a new drug. Who would sing a song about wanting a new truck?!"
So come on, spill it. Give us a laugh today. Tell us about a time that you were driving along and belting out the lyrics to one of your favorite songs, only to have your passenger look at you and say, "Um.... those aren't the words..."

Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

I always thought that "Suicide Blonde" by INXS sounded like "Super saxophone." I guess it would have helped if I had known the title of the song, eh? (Incidentally, one of my college friends also misunderstood this lyric, but she thought it was "Soup and salad bar.")
I also thought that "Alive and Kicking" (Simple Minds, maybe?) was "I love you, Kiki." Again, ditto the song title comment from above.
Now, keep in mind that I knew I was most likely wrong in both situations, but I had no clue what the real lyrics were.
Moving on.... Not lyrics, but when I was little, I asked my mom if Juice Newton's name was Juice Newton or Joo Snooten. Ha. And then -- kicker of all kickers -- she and I were driving along a few weeks ago (2007, mind you) and she was telling me that she had just heard something on the radio about Darryl Hall and John Oates. She said, "And then I realized.... ohhhh! It's Hall and Oates! Not Haulin' Oats!!"
Good thing I was strapped in -- I would have fell out of my seat laughing.
shut. up. t pea. you seriously thought that group was 'haulin' oats?' that's freaking hilarious!
okay, enough making fun of you. it's my turn to take the ridicule now. that eagles song 'hotel california?' those lyrics '’relax,’ said the night man, we are programmed to receive.
you can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave...?' yeah, i thought he was singing, "we all go down to the sea." i'll never forget how hard my friend laughed at me when he heard the words i was singing.
"Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night." I don't know how many of these words are correct, but I'm guessing not all of them. Nobody has ever really laughed at me for singing it that way and I'm thinkin' that's because most people think those are the words, too. Can anyone shed any light on the true lyrics?

Go to the Archive of Misheard Lyrics (www.kisstheguy.com) Interesting and funny to see what others hear when they listen to songs such as "Blinded by the Light. You will laugh out loud!!
SJ: No, my mom thought it was Haulin' Oats. Feel free to laugh your butt off. ;)
And Jenn, that's pretty much what I sing, too! Except I sing, "...another motor in the night."
Checking....
Ahhh, here are the real lyrics:
"Revved up like a duece another runner in the night."
t pea: got it! but that is still the funniest thing i've heard in a looong time! i still crack up when i think about it.
First of all - until I read this I thought it was Haulin' Oats. So, SJ and Tpea, laugh it up!
And I thought it was "blinded by the light, wrapped up like a duke, another roller in the night"
"We're talkin' Thriller, Thriller night. There's something gonna get you and it's gonna come tonight. Get you, get you, tonight".
I know those are wrong too.
Let's face it, they are all wrong!
Ok Ok this is my first blog....the song lyrics to a Backstreet Boys song. "Ain't nothing but a party"
Are you happy now Tpea?
lboz: YES!!! That was it!! You are the one that totally inspired the story and I wanted to use that in my example, but for the life of me, I
could NOT think of the song!!! HA!!! I'm totally cracking up right
now!
Okay, I always thought is was, "wrapped up like a duece, another runner in the night." I was close.
So, my 2 funniest experiences were with the following songs:
#1 - Bring Me A Higher Love. I have no idea who sings this, but I always thought it was, "Great gee a maya love." I know, makes no sense. My friend Holly sang it right one day and I was THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY?!?!?! lol.
#2 - Head Games. I believe that's the name of the song and it's by Foreigner? Anyway, I always sang, "Pet games." Again, doesn't make sense. Dave was the one who corrected me one day while we were driving and I laughed so hard at myself.
