I was puzzled by the "sealing wax" that Jackie Paper brought Puff the Magic Dragon. I thought it was "ceiling wax" - wax that collected on the ceiling, a bit like earwax.

I used to believe that 'One more time' by Britney Spears used to be:
'Oh Baven Baven' instead of 'oh baby baby'. My dad said 'It isn't Baven. What's Baven?' I replied with 'Duh! Baven is a Scottish name!' Silly me!

Never_Forget

I can't remember the name of the song or the artist, though I know it was a woman
However the chorus had the words 'The Girl can't help it'
I was sure she was singing 'The Brylcreme muppet'

up until recently, I thought the Housmartin's version of the song "He ain't heavy" went like this:
"So on we go - to where there is mountain sun" instead of "his welfare is of my concern".

Romantic, really, having to drag that big fella through the mountains...

When I was about 7, I always thought that instead of ''who you gonna call... Ghost Busters!'' was sung ''who ya gonna haul... roast pop-tarts!''

my friend thought that the line in the song "pilot of the airways here is my request was in actual fact Running up the stairway here is my request"

In the film grease the song "one that i want" we use to think that the line "Nothing left nothing left for me to do" was "double it up double it up for me and you"

Also our dad thought that the song "the final countdown" by Europe was "there's a fire downtown"

Remember that techno song "I'm blue da boo de da boo day deh" well, I heard "I'm blue, I believe I will die"
And one of my friends thought it was "I'm nude, I'm in need of a guy" yea. personally, I like our lyrics better.

CANT BELIEVE THAT I'M A FOOL AGAIN I THOUGHT THIS LOVE WOULD NEVER END HOW WAS I TO KNOW YOU NEVER TOLD ME.
BABY YOU SURE LOOK GORMY

JOHN MARSHALL

My belief for a long time was that the line in the KISS song went "III want to rock and roll all night, in the everglades". Made sooo much sense! They wore 7 inch heels.It was to treadge through the swamp i guess.
The rest of the line:"and party everyday".

Buzzerd

I used to believe that in the song 'under pressure' by david bowie and queen, it went 'sat on her face, but it don't work' instead of 'sat on the fence, but it don't work' How my parents laughed when it came on the radio....

James

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily
Life is not a dream.

Well, duh!

I thought the song was High on the G string (not peace train)

Forrest

I thought that the line was "Lucy in the Sky with Linus" (not lucy in the sky with diamonds)

Forrest

"what a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong still is my favourite song but I used to believe he sings "the dog says goodnight" instead of "the dark sacred night" I only discovered that last week and I am fifty years old....well never too old to learn...

cobus

In "God Bless America" I thought it was "With the light from a bulb" instead of "from above."
