When I was little, that flocks of seagul song 'i ran' was my favorite song. I thought it went "I run along the Alamo, I'd never thought I'd meet a hurl like you, meet a hurl like you..."

No duh

When I was 10, i thought the walking in the winter wonderland song went like this 'later on we'll expire' instead of 'later on we'll conspire'. I had all these children dying because they were expired stuck in my head.

My lyric actually made sense in the context of the song (at least it did to me), so it took a while until I learned the truth. In an Amy Grant song, I was convinced she said "But your life can't fall asunder, 'cuz you just can't lay down and die." However, the line actually goes "But you're like a fallen soldier..."

Until my sister was 11 she thought that the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows what I'd be without you" was really "Cuddly nose what I'd be without you"

Not a childhood belief,but quite recent! Micheal Jackson's One More Chance. Real words 'One more chance at love' misheard as 'One more chance, Edna'.

apparantly as a kid of around 5 years old, i used to sing "go and get stuffed" instead of "when the going get tough (the tough get going)"

thank you please

i am me

In the beginning of Climax Blues Bands song "I Love You' I thought it went: When I was, a younger man, I'd hide in a can. It's really " I hadn't a care." I think.

In the beginning of "Wings" Band on the run, It sounded like: Stuck inside these four walls...."Circumcised" forever....

My dad said that when he was little he thought "Home home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play" was "Home home on the range, where the deer and the cantalope play"

Shirley B.

I thought the line in "America the Beautiful" that went "Four purple mountains, majesty among the fruited plain" was "Four purple mountains, najesties, above the fruited plate."

It made sense to me. A plate with fruits.

Shirley B.

"Yooce cream, ice bean, we all scream for ice cream!"

This song was always stupid to me.

My mother believed for many years that in "Bohemian Rapsody" the line "spare him his life from this monstrosity" was "spare him his life for his one sausagey". She also thoust that "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" was "Beelzebub has a devil for a side-board-ee".

When he was little my brother thought the words to the song "Watch out here she comes/ she's a man eater" were really "Watch out here she comes she's an anteater." Always made me think I was safe because those anteaters only liked men.

When we were little my brother used to think that the lyrics to the song "Gloria" were really "Oreo" so we always sang "Oreo/ I think I got you number/ Oreo..." I mean who named their kid Gloria 20 years ago when we were little?

Just about a year ago(im 14) i realized the song by TLC called Waterfalls said "Dont go chasing waterfalls", while I always thought it said "Go go Jason Waterfalls"

Also I thought the song "Yellow Taxi" by Counting Crows said "They paved paradise, to put up a fucking lodge" while it really says "They paved paradise, to put up a parking lot"

The second line of "just call me angel of the morning" was "just scratch my feet before you leave me, baby". I still don't know what it is, but I'm putting my money on the probability that that ain't it.

I used to believe that in the song "Blue" by Eiffel 65, he said "I'm Blue, I believe I will die."

Antwon

There's this song called follow me, and there's a sentence in there that goes: "... like a fish in the sea"
I always thought that it was "... I can pis in the sea" =)
