It is CAT. It has to be cat. You know the people who run those lyrics sites mess it up sometimes. People who post YouTube lyrics videos are just as bad. Yep it's cat. C.A.T.

My kids sing to Joan Jett's song "I love rock and roll, so put another dime in the shoebox baby".

Oh, when I was little I thought Jingle Bells went, "Bells on cocktails ring" rather than "bells on bob tails ring". and I spent an embarrassing number of years singing "one horse soap and sleigh"

It is hard to believe that there are some a singers who have their own lyrics wrong! And I am suddenly hungry for carrot biscuits. Lol

I always thought Flashdance What a Feeling said "take your pants off and make it happen" instead of "take your passion and make it happen" I like my version better and still sing it this way.

I am SHOCKED! I would have sworn it was cat. It makes so much more sense that way. My favorite story ever of mis-heard song lyrics is my girlfriend who thought Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl was about, "I ain't no Harlem black girl." So what is it then?! eta: I know now. I Googled the lyrics AND the definition of hollaback girl.

As far as I am concerned, it is "there in the bathroom on the right" and not "there's a bad moon on the rise". Also, I swear Keith Urban is singing "take your cat and leave my sweater" and definitely not 'take your cap'. Who the heck says cap anyway! And apparently I was only one of many who swore Taylor Swift was singing about "lonely Starbucks lovers". I saw her accept an award last week on the iHeart Radio Awards and she mentioned that lyric and that it is really "got a long list of ex-lovers". So funny. I thought it was cat.

Applause! He's fantastic! It is funny when someone suggests a misheard lyric that is what you hear.

My husband has a gift for mixing up lyrics. His latest is by the Goo Goo Dolls - "Come to me my Swedish Friend" instead of sweetest.

There was a Rod Stewart song called Young Turks that I couldn't get right to save my life. I was in grade school when it was getting air play, so most of it went over my head anyway.
I heard:
Life is for free, and Tom is a thief, and they're undesigned. Billy pissed his head and tried to pick up like a lunatic.
Correct lyrics:
Life is so brief, and time is a thief, when you're undecided. Billy pierced his ears, and drove a pickup like a lunatic.
Rod is always kind of muckle-mouthed, though.

I went on a road trip last weekend with 4 girlfriends. We listened to 80's music the whole ride. One of the girls insisted on singing along to each song whether she knew he words or not. Mostly not. She was enjoying herself so much no one corrected her. It was too funny.

My current wrong lyrics is from "Uptown Funk".
I swear Burno is singing "Smoother than a fresh jar of skippy". Which, to me, makes perfect sense.
But fully half of the lyric websites say he is singing "Smoother than a fresh dry skippy". What's a 'fresh dry skippy'? I ask.
And I agree. CAT. C - A - T. Not CAP. LOL

There's a song out by George Ezra where he sings: For you, ooooh For you, oooh I'd leave it all. But I swear, it sounds like he says I deeveedoll. Like gibberish, lol! So it took me and my daughter a bit to figure it out. DH and I looked up the lyrics to this song because we couldn't make out what the heck he was saying. And we still sing it "I deeveedoh" just because we like it better that way.

My son's favorite song back during his "Thomas the Engine rules" day was Boulevard of Broken Trains by Green Day. My daughter's favorite classic used to be Fireballs with the chorus of "Don't go Jason fireballs, baby..." by TLC.

<Elaine shove> Get out! It's got to be cat!
<Another shove> It's not a fresh jar of Skippy??? What the heck is a fresh dry skippy?
Mine is a George Strait song, Adalida. I always thought the line was "I'd swim the ponds you drain." Then when Hurricane Katrina hit and I started seeing news reports and they were talking about Lake Pontchartrain a light bulb went off for me. The correct lyrics are "I'd swim the Pontchartrain."

Back in my teen days, my friend's mom thought Depeche Mode's "I just can't get enough" was I just can't get it up!

I just played you'll think of me and asked my family what he was saying (didn't let on what I was disputing). Four of us said cat one 1 dd said cap! When I played it I heard him say cap. Now I am sad, I'm still singing cat, though.

And all this time I have been thinking about how awful she was leaving her cat behind.
