When I was younger my favorite song was ACDC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap because I thought it said Dirty Deeds, thunder jeep.

You know that Keley Clarkson song Behind These Hazel Eyes. When I was 8 I thought she was saying Jesus Christ instead of behind these hazel eyes. Months later when I bought Kidz Bop 8 I realized my mistake. Before that,I thought it was weird she saying Jesus Christ, I'm 10 now. I hate Kidz Bop now.

Back when I was younger, I got very into Ricky Martin music. Remember his song, "Shake Your Bon-Bon?" Well, there's a line in there where he says,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you my Juliet?"

However, when I heard this line, it got all slurred together in my ears, and I heard it as,

"I see your silhouette,
Are you magillient?"

"Magillient" isn't a real word by any stretch of the imagination, but since I was convienced that that was what he was singing, I tried to look it up in the dictionary. The closest word I could find was "malignant," which according to the dictionary ment "a life-threatening cancerous tumor."

Thus, I believed that Ricky Martin had some kind of strange cancer fetish.

A 20-something friend of mine would hear this line from Jon Sebastian's "Welcome Back" (theme to Welcome Back, Kotter):
"Your dreams were your ticket out"
But she thought he was singing:
"Your jeans are torn. Check it out!"

A few years ago, when I met Sinatra's "LA is my lady", I thought he sang "I leave behind the father of myself", while the correct line is "I leave behind a part of myself". That may not make sense in English, but I'm Brazilian and my English was even poorer at that time.

In the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, there's a part where he goes "Bite-ah the dust-ah!!' really fast, and once I was listening to it in the car with my mom, and I said, "doesn't it sound like he's saying 'I am adopted!'?"
Then (and I don't think I'll ever forget this) my mom laughed dismissively and said, "That's what he IS saying."
I still have no idea why my mom would think he was saying 'I am adopted!", especially since it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the song.

I used to think that
"The land of make believe"
was
"The land of baked beans."

Baked Bean!

I was convinced until maybe five years ago that the end of the Christmas carol "Silent Night" was saying that the Baby Jesus was sleeping in heavenly peas, not peace. I couldn't figure out what God had put in those peas that made them so good and nice to sleep in. To this day my father sings, "sleep in heavenly peas and corn," because at my house we always have corn with our peas.

I used to believe "Move every mountain" was infact "Oooh big and bouncy"

I was convinced for years that the ohio express record 'yummee' went 'yummee yummee yummee, i've got bugs in my tummy'. It wasn't until I was about 35 that I realised my error.

When I got Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' album (around age 9), I thought the line in Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance that goes, "I'm lookin' for a woman needs a worried man" was "I'm lookin' for a woman needs a one-eyed man".

When I first got The Beatles' Abbey Road album, I heard the line "Sleeps in a hole in the road" in Mean Mr. Mustard as "Sheeps in a Hollywood toad"

When I was little, I thought the lyric in The Beatles' "Something" that goes, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe and how" went, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe in cow."

My mom had recently explained to me that George Harrison practiced Hinduism, thus I thought it was perfectly logical for him to write a song about a cow.

I used to think that the line, "She takes just like a woman" in Bob Dylan's 'Just Like A Woman' was, "She tastes just like a woman."

Needless to say I was appalled at the fact that one of my favorite singers had a taste for human flesh.
