Song lyrics can be difficult to understand, and we all know someone who is really bad, or is that really good, at making up their own versions which they then completely believe are the actual lyrics. And even more then that they will try to convince you that their version is correct.

Here are some misunderstood lyrics I have heard from others.

When John Travolta sang, “I have thrills they’re multiplying” he wasn’t singing, “I have shoes they’re made of ply-wood”

Australia’s national anthem starts with the line “Australian’s all let us rejoice”, NOT “Australian Sunset Ostriches”

And when the great man Neil Diamond sang “Sweet Caroline” he definitely didn’t have G’n’R’s “Sweet Child of Mine” in mind.

A friend of mine recently admitted to believing Kate Cebrano’s sultry 1980s hit “Bedroom Eyes” was actually “Petrol Eyes”.

Well, I’m sure all of you out there who read this tripe have your own misunderstood lyrics, so leave a comment telling us about it.
