Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone
The actual lyrics:
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
What I heard:
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He wears my shield and portions me
As long as life endures

Our minister told this one on himself in a sermon about the need to fit in.
quote:
Long before I entered the ministry I had a summer job with a construction company and everybody was above me. Although I was into groups like the Beach Boys and James Taylor, the radio in the lunch hour was on a country station. There was a popular song then that had three distinctive notes in the chorus. Making sure I was on pitch, I came in on those three words, "Hell fired up!. The only problem was it wasn't three words, it was one word, a woman's name. In addition to uproarous laughter, I was baptized with all the ice water in the Igloo cooler.
I don't think he made it to the Oom papa mau mau later in the chorus.
Of course it was Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys.

There was a child at my church that used to sing "Friend of God" like this:
"I AM AFRAID OF GOD
I AM AFRAID OF GOD
I AM AFRAID OF GOD
HE CALLS ME NAMES"
We almost died laughing.

My friend is going to kill me for this but...
Pillar's song, I think it's "In God we trust"
She used to think they were singing "The garbage truck" in stead of "In God we trust".
yeah, not a good one to confuse....LOL

From Kenny Roger's "Lucille":
Correct: "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the fields..."
Misheard: "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with four hundred children and a crop in thr fields...."

OK - here is a bit of a quandry for me.
I recently heard the term "heavy metal" came from the classic Steppenwolf song "Born to be Wild."
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
However, every time I hear the original of that song I hear
I like smoke and lightning
Every bit of thunder
I know the remakes all say "heavy metal." I have never heard John Kay say WHAT he actually sung.
Any ideas?

It's been heavy metal thunder for as long as I've heard it.
But I've always heard that first line as "I like smokin' lightning" so go figure.

My husband tells that his younger brother sang the Imperials song "I'd Rather Believe in You" this way:
"Oh, yes, Lord, I'd rather be me than You."

This one happened many, many years ago, when Amy Grant first came out with the song, El Shaddai.
My Dad was the pastor, and he would often have a time of someone, or a group of people from the congregation to sing a special before he would minister the Word.
One of the women in our church would sing this song, almost every time it was her turn in the rotation to sing a special.
An elderly lady walked up to my Dad after service wanting to know what was so special about a woman named Elsie, and why did she die.
The actual lyric: El Shaddai, El Shaddai.
What she heard: Elsie died, Elsie died.

Ah! These are great! Reminds me of the story about the little Mexican boy who went to see his first baseball game here in the United States. Afterwards, when someone asked how he liked it, he said the best part was when everyone stood up and sang "Jose can you see................."

When I was a kid, I used to think Cat Stevens' "Climb on the Peace Train" was "Come on and Be Strange." I misunderstood "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" as "There's a Bathroom on the Right" too.

When I was a kid I would sing with that song that goes
"Taking care of business...everyday"
Only I would sing
"Taking care of biscuits...everyday"

When I was little, my mom used to play the piano and sing some very old camp meeting songs that were so old that I never heard anyone else but her ever sing them. One of them started, "Long ago when but a boy at old camp meeting time..." I was sure she said, "Long ago when butter boy at old camp meeting time." I thought there must have been something important about a fat boy at camp meeting a long time ago!

i JUST posted the lyrics to Flame's song Joyful Noise that everyone is dancing to in another forum. some people thought that the feature guest artist in verse one was cursing... lol. i thought now why would someone like Flame from Cross Movement Records allow that to happen?
at the end he says in speaking about Jesus "fought death, beat it, gave his life to the public. I LOVE IT!"
you can hear the whole song here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=HU3gAGWoKYM) or here (http://www.myspace.com/flame314)
lol

Whatever happened to this thread? It is too good, too funny to let die. I was thinking about this thread when I finally got around to looking up the actual lyrics to the Newsboys song "God is not a Secret," and learned that "Take back your freon box, I don't accept," was not an indictment on refrigerators or air conditioners (not that I seriously thought that it was), but was actually "Take back your free advice, I don't accept."
I also remember my niece telling me that she thought that in the Christmas song "Feliz Navidad," they were saying "Police! Mommy died!"
