Well when I say the movie of west side story, I could have sworn in the jet song that instead of "on the whole buggen everloving street" they said "on the whole f***ing, everloving street".
Also, in Wicked, my friend thought that she says "when by the wizard you're acclaimed" she said "when by the wizard your AFLAME!". His logic behind it was, if your not with the wizard, he'll set you on fire.

I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul my only goal is just to be

the first time i listened to bare i just had my cd on as i was cleaning up and at the end of a quiet night at home i thought she said "a quiet night at home spent getting high" not getting by

aida - elaborate lives
"strangers lovers hearts entwined"
really "strangers lovers husbands wives"

"Nothing is an accident, We are free to have it all, We are what we want to be, It's in ourselves to rise or fall!!" - "Fortune Favors the Brave" from Aida - the love that never died

I thought the lyric in "Be Italian" were:
"Be Italian, Europe stallion."
instead of:
"be Italian, you rapscallion."

"Sing the words, Patti!!!!" Stephen Sondheim to Patti LuPone.

Oh my gawd, I'm laughing my ass off at "Europe Stallion."

Did anyone else every think that The Surrey With The Fringe On Top had "icy, glass curtains you can roll right down?" Well, one day recently I was reading the lyrics and was shocked to find that the curtains are "isinglass." And let me tell you what isinglass is (from www.m-w.com): "a semitransparent whitish very pure gelatin prepared from the air bladders of fishes (as sturgeons) and used especially as a clarifying agent and in jellies and glue."

Well, EWWWWW! I want my icy, glass curtains back!

"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

Another misheard line from RENT: For the longest time, I thought the line "How do you connect in an age when strangers, landlords, lovers, your own blood cells betray" was "strangers, landlords, MOTHERS."

This is my favorite topic ever.

I have never audibly laughed so hard when reading at this message board.

O.K., I've resisted posting this one, but I can't help it... first of all I SWEAR that it was my slightly off fried who heard this one in Les Miz's "Red and Black", not me- please keep that in mind:

line:
"It's better than an opera" (pronounced "O-per'-a")
her interpretation:
"It's better than an open ass" (pronouced "o-pen arse")

Yea, I really didn't know what to say to that, I laughed, but I stared in shocked amazement for a while first.

When I was listening to "Long As I'm Here With You" on the Millie CD, I thought Muzzy was saying, "The FOOD is mighty nice." Instead, it is, "The VIEW is mighty nice."

EDIT: Also, on "The Strongest Suit," in Aida, I used to think Amneris sang, "From your cradle via true so." It is really trousseau.

Yeah the part about a cootie zoo and her "2 ton mama" is a little confusing to make out.

When I saw WICKED for the first time, I had not heard the OBCR. So when Elphaba started chanting the spells from the book, I was like, "Did I just lose my hearing? I can't understand a word she is saying. Is the book in French? WTF!!!"

It was only when I got the OBCR when I read the made up words and I started laughing.

ok mine isn't funny. But I thought in Lot's Wife it was "and I can't hardly breathe" insteand of "read." Breathe would work there too, she's underwater.

I heard palasis in Popular and I was always confused. And I got a lot of the lyrics in No Good Deed messed up.

West Side Story, "America" -
The real line: "Everything free in America / For a small fee in America."
I thought it was "Everything free in America / Pour us coffee in America."

1776, "Momma Look Sharp" -
The real lines: "Them soldiers, they fired..(other stuff in between)..oh Ma, am I done."
My friend thought it was "Them soldiers, they fart..(other stuff in between)..oh Ma, am I dumb."

1776, "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve" -
The real line: "These indecisive grenadiers of Philadelphia"
I thought it was "These indecisive granite ears of Philadelphia"
