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."

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 :)

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?"

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.

I used to think that the song "inside out" by eve 6 and "i am the walrus" by the beatles were the same song. i realize now how incredibly different both songs and bands are.

Eurythmics, I think, I was abiut 9 or so,
one song has the sentence: "You place a chill in my heart" I always heard: "You replace Jim in my heart"

"You know I like to keep my cheating stragety" for Blind Melon's "No Rain". Yes, I know that "stragety" is not a word. I'm still not certain of the actual lyrics because my cousin told me it was "You know I'd like to keep my jeans dry today" and I just read on here that it's "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today", either of which makes more sense than what I always thought.

This isn't my belief, but rather my younger cousin's- we were all driving down to the beach, and my aunt was playing her Beatles CD on the way down. The song "I am the Walrus" came on- on the part where it said "Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower", my cousin thought he was singing, "Sitting on a cornflake, looking at the Eiffel Tower" The funnier part was, I didn't know any better either, so I totally believed her! I didn't find it out until today when I was listening to the song, and decided to look up the lyrics for this one part that sounded weird to me...
