I used to believe that in the Christmas song "Winter Wonderland" that the words were "later on, we'll perspire, as we sit by the fire" instead of "later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire." I would get some chuckles by family members when we would sing this song. Even though know the real words now, I still prefer to sing it my way.

For the "Family Guy" theme song there's several mistakes i made until i looked it up online-

where it says "lucky there's a family guy" i thought it said "puffy is a family guy"

and where it says "all the things that make us laugh and cry" i thought it was "all the things that make us effin' cry"

My friend Helz has a lot of these, but my favourite was when she thought the line from Summer Nights from grease "he just turned 18" was " and he has white teeth"
It really tickled me

When I was a child I believed that the lyrics in the song My Bonny Is Over The Ocean actually read My Pony Is Over The Ocean. So I thought the song was actually about some horse on a boat far far away from home.

For a while, I thought that the 90s hit Common People by Pulp said "rent a fag and barber shop" instead of "rent a flat above a shop." This led to a lot of confusion over what the next line, "cut your hair and get a job" was talking about. Because if the mishearing was correct...what kind of job would the person be getting?

When I was about 5 or 6, I used to think the song 'Beauty and the Beast' was really 'Beauty and the Beef'.

Alf Garnett
The clothes I'm wearing
Alf Garnett
The rock I'm rocking

The car I'm driving
Alf Garnett
I depend on meat
I depend on meat..."

i used to think the song 'living on a prayer' was actually 'living on a stair.' after a while it changed to 'living on a prarie' in fact i only just figured out what the real lyrics were when i read it on this site!

There was a girl that used to come over and play with me and my sister and we would listen to Blackstreet "No Diggity" all the time. She picked up on some of the lyrics and would sing "I like the way you work here, no diggity, I like the way you bag it up" Instead of "I like the way you work it, no diggity, I like the way you back it up"
It was the cutest thing.

My parents listened to country a lot and there was a song by Garth Brooks called "I'm Shameless" and I thought he was saying "I'm shavin"

Remember the song "Love stinks" By J. Geils... My cousin used to think it said Elastics..yeah yeah...Elastics...We used to laugh so hard, we never told her what it really said.

My friend's little sister thinks the lyrics to Hollaback Girl go, "A few times I been round that track so it stomps just to have feet like that"

I used to believe that the song by Fatboy Slim that goes "Right about now, funk soul brother, check it out now, the funk soul brother" went "Right about now, funk short rubber, check it out now, the funk short rubber". I loved that song in like third grade and would sing it on the way home from swimming lessons, but could never figure out why Mom would laugh at me...
