Lyrical Slip-up

Everyone has done it. You're singing a song and someone points out to you that you have the lyrics wrong. These to me are some of the funniest mix ups cause most of the time it either doesn't make sense yet we don't question it cause its a song. Anyway, here are some samples of these instances that I've experienced with friends and family.
- when I was a kid our family listened to a lot of southern gospel. There was a song that i called the fish song. The words of the chorus were "Daddy sang Bass, Momma sang Tenor and little brother would join right in there." But I misheard it as "Daddy sang Bass(as in the fish) Momma sang Tuna and little brother would join right in there."
- A few years ago when Charity was home from college for a summer we over heard my mom singing "Shabang shabang"....we quickly realized that she had misheard he lyrics to the Ricky Martins song "She bangs, she bangs". We corrected her and she never sang it again...with good reason.
- When we were kids growing up in Sunday school we would sing a welcome song to new people. It went like this "Welcome, Welcome to our Sunday school, Jesus loves you and we love you too. Won't you bring your bible each Sunday before noon, for you welcome to our Sunday school." One day, when she was still quite young she asked my mother 'why don't we eat beef on Sunday like the song says?' Confused my mother asked what song? "the welcome song, it says won't you bring your bible, each Sunday beef for noon!"
- A few months ago Chris and I were hanging out reminiscing about camp and camp songs. he was convinced that there must be a song he knew that I didn't. So he started naming off songs and I would sing the first line of each to prove I knew the songs. Then thinking he'd thought of a song i for sure wouldn't know he cried out. "well what about 'Old Hymens Goat'?!" I burst into laughter, "You mean 'Old hyrums goat'?" Then came the awkwardness of him not knowing why hymen was so funny for him to mix up!
- I tease my sister a lot about messing up lyric, because it happens a lot that I catch the mix ups. a few years ago we were driving listening to Jamiroquai and the song Canned Heat came on. The song is about having so much pent up frustration that all you can do is dance. One of the lines in the chorus talks about this frustration as canned heat in my heals, hence the dancing. She started laughing and said"Mom didn't get what Candy in my heals meant." I, thinking she meant that mom thought the lyrics were candy in my heals laughed saying "that's so funny how she mixed up those words." Charity was like"No she didn't mess up the words she just didn't get it!" and then I caught on"No Charity the words are canned heat in my heals, like the title."
-Just today I quoted Timbaland's "the way I are" on Charitys facebook wall and she went to continue the song on mine. Here's how the converstaion went. Me -"I ain't go no Visa, I ain't go no Red American Express. We can't go nowhere exotic but I'm the one that loves you best! Talk to me girl."
Charity - "Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta floss for me" ok, um so since when does music promote poor dental hygeine other than gold fillings....
Me- I think its flaunt, not floss....do you have candy on your heels?
Charity- hey... i looked up the words online! LOL. I'm hopeless! And yes. I have candy in my heels. and I'm having sunday beef for noon.
