"Care less whispers"- I used to belive he siad "Cat less whiskers"

I used to think the lyrics to Row Row Your Boat were " life is butter dream" it wasn't until I was about 12 that I realised it was "but a".

I thought the beatles' lyric "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of mind" was "I'll give you everything I've got for a little peice of pie." I always wondered why he wanted pie so much.
My Grandmother use to think the song more then a woman to me use to say Bald headed Woman

Yesterday I was in the cafeteria of my college campus. They were playing some kind of music video channel. They played this song that was in a foreign language. I know it didn't say this, but I heard the singers holler, "Rolaids" like three times and then sing a short phrase and then repeat the chorus. I thought that was hillarious, so I started making up words to the other part that went like this:
Rolaids, Rolaids, Rolaids, that's the way you spell relief.

On Death Cab for Cutie's expo 86 (or whatever it's called), I thought the line, "as if you held in your hand a smoking gun, and on the floor lay the one you loved" was really "as if you held in your hand a smoking gun, and on the four-legged one you loved."
Also when it said "familiar resolve" I thought it said "familiary's song". Not quite sure what I thought a "familiary" was...
Not so much a prayer as a carol, but a friend of mine has a little girl, and, as children are want to do, she has made the best sense of the lyrics of a certain Christmas Carol that she can. The song in question is 'Away in a Manger'. She's got the 'Away in a Manger' part, but then she thinks it goes on:
The Little Malteasers
Lay down on her head...
I just picture them snuggled down behind the ears, you know?

I used to believe that the song "Another one bites the dust" was "Another one rides the bus"

When I was about 5, I used to love singing christmas carols, and my favourite was "I saw mummy kissing santa claus".
But I always thought the line "underneath the mistletoe last night" was actually "on his little missing toe last night"
My mum still has video tapes of me singing those lines to the song, even pointing to my toes while I was singing it.
What I wanna know now is; Even if Santa DOES have a "missing toe"...how could anyone kiss it? IT'S NOT THERE!

"we're calling a cab, i can't walk now, because i love you too much baby..." [-- what i thought i heard elvis saying in "suspicious minds"
In Elton John's "Tiny Dancer", I thought it was "Jesus frees...out in the streets", when it really was "Jesus freaks...out in the streets"
Silly me!
I was listening to an old record of a gospel group that I had never heard before and still don't know who they are. The music was good, but the record was scratchy and the sound quality was not very clear. A song came on and I heard them sing, "Hickory on the rock." I couldn't figure out what a gospel song had to do with a hickory on a rock. When I heard the chorus again, I realized why that sounded stupid. The correct lyrics were "Victory on the rock." Duh!

I used to believe that the lyrics "Don't go chasing waterfalls" TLC's song "Waterfalls" was actually saying "Don't go Jason water ball" referring to Jason from the original Power Rangers TV show. I was always confused because I could never understand why they said "Water ball"

I used to believe that the chorus to boys of summer were "I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the poison enters my body", cute as a kid, however I did not realize my mistake until it was remade and I was caught shouting it in my mid twenties
When I was little I thought the song line "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" was actually "take a piece of meat with you." I imagined a girl leaving with a big steak or something. The worst part is my parents would hear me sing it and they thought it was so cute they didn't bother to correct me.

I thought the line in Need You Tonight by INXS was "Oh, we'll boycott a snowman" as opposed to "All we've got is this moment." I first heard it at a wedding when I was 7 and had all the other kids there singing "Let's boycott a snowman!" Nobody could work out why.

I loved the song "Flying North" by Thomas Dolby as a kid. When I was about nine I was listening to the song one day and it suddenly struck me; there was a bad word in the song! The line was "N*ggers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." I was so shocked, I couldn't stop crying. However, on further listen, I concluded that the word must have been "knickers" to make "Knickers steaming in the chilly air of the morning." Ahh, I was a lot happier after that.
(It's actually "Lincoln".)

I thought in 12 days of Christmas song that "1 partridge in a pear tree" was actually a cartridge in a pear tree (I didn't know what "partridge" was, so I thought the word was "cartridge" but I didn't know why they put it in a tree), and "2 turtle doves" was actually 2 turtles and 2 doves.
I used to think that the song"Stayin Alive" said "Staying In Line" like at school when I was little.

In that song "Kung Fu Fighting", it says, "Everybody was kung-fu fighting; those kicks were fast as lightning." For the longest time, I thought it said "Those STICKS were fast as lightning." Sticks as in needle sticks, like injections.
This was accompanied by a mental image of little kids kung-fu kicking doctors since they didn't want to get shots. Thus, the doctors had to hurry up "fast as lightning" to give them their shots.
Makes sense to me; I was one of those kids that would scream and kick and cry hysterically when I had to get a shot.
It wasn't until about 3 years ago that I was enlightened to the song's true lyrics! (I like my version better.)
