One New Year's Eve, my daughter's boyfriend - Then aged 29 - said "We'll be singing Hold Hands Arc tonight won't we"
She said "what?"
He: "You know, where you all hold your hands up in an arc."
How do you get to 29 years old not knowing Auld Lang Sine

Early this year, when Apologize was repeatedly being played on the radio, I kept on hearing it and singing it as "It's shoelace to 'pologize" And I'd ask what "'pologize" meant to all my friends and they'd give me funny looks. Haha. :P I'd also imagine the music video with a bunch of dancing shoelace. :))

Blah.

In the song "all star" by smashmouth, theres a line which says "she was looking kinda dumb wth her finger and her thumb" till today i thought it was "she was looking kinda dumb with her finger IN her thumb"
that made no sense atall :D

When I was five or six, my brother always used to listen to Guns N' Roses, and in Welcome to the Jungle I thought they were saying:

"Welcome to the jungle, we've got lemonade"

lmao

When I was a child, I thought that Jimmy Buffett blew out his flip-flop stepping on a PopTart; and that he was vainly searching for his "lost Digger the Dog" (a popular toy when I was small).

I used to think that the Rolling Stones' song that goes "Hey! Hey! You! You! Get off of my cloud!" went "Hey! Hey! You! You! Get off of my clown!" I also thought the song "Who'll stop the rain." was "Who shot the rain?"

My six-year-old brother sings the chorus to McLean's American Pie like this:

"Hi hi this American guy
Drove my buddy to the beddy
But the beddy was dry
Then good old toys
With wiskers and rye
Singing this will be the day I die."

Until yesterday i never knew what the lyrics to 'Scar Tissue' by the Chili Peppers was saying in the chorus.

I looked it up, and I thought "With the birds I'll share this lonely view" was actually saying

"With a blur, a shed is a long live you."

scar tissue

When I was maybe 8...I was addicted to watching CSI with my parents. The lyrics to the opening song are; 'Whooooo are you!? Who, who, who, who!?' However, I was convinced that that they were; 'Gooood morning! Good, good, good, good!' When I sang along to my version....my parents laughed so much :)

Taylor

In the song "Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller Band, there's a line that goes "Don't take me too far away". When I was little I thought it was "Don't take me to my wake". I assumed that he was talking about how he didn't want to die in a plane crash, which made sense. I remember thinking, "But how could you ever attend your OWN WAKE?"

Kat

i used to think that The Who song went "let milo open the door..." not my love .. i always wondered who milo was (another pinball wizard???)

I used to think the van halen song was "cannonball" later to be found out by EVERYBODY that it was "panama" how embarrassing...

The Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

Correct lyric: Can I believe the magic of your sighs
What I heard: Can I believe the magic of your size

You know the song by the bangles called "Walk like an egyptian?"

I used to dance around singing, "Walk like an edemption"

Jungle Love by The Steve Miller Band goes, "Jungle Love, Drivin' Me Mad, Makin' Me Crazy.."

My husband thought it was, "Chug A Lug, The Strawberry Man, Makin' Me Crazy..." when he was a child.
