I thought in the song "First and Last and Always" by Sisters of Mercy the first line was " I see her body and I dream of the dentist" (instead of the correct "dead days") I figure for some people dreaming of the dentist would be more scary than the dead days!

A couple years or so ago when Jesse McCartney was super famous and he came out with the song "How Do You Sleep?"
When he sings the part "it still smells just like you d*** those sweet memories" I thought he was saying man not d***

Remember the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"... I always thought it was a cherry in the sky, and blamed Sesame Street.

I still think I'm right.

I believed for years that the Rolling Stones were singing, "I didn't mean to leave your pizza burning'" instead of "Beast of Burden."

my older brother was a metalhead and taught me to sing along to "battery" by metallica. one line goes "hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker...", but i always thought it was "hunting bob seger". it made sense that the guys in metallica would think bob seger was a wussy.

I thought "Mr. Roboto" was about a cyborg that was killing people to stay alive.

I also thought that "Benny and the Jets" was "Granny's fanny at the dance."

Around Christmas time my parents used to play this kids' song that went "I'm gettin' nuttin' for christmas, Mommy and daddy are mad" Only I always thought they were saying "Mommy and daddy are men." This didn't even strike me as funny, growing up, as I was in the Castro district of San Francisco.

i used the think the lyrics to mrs. robinson were:
"Oh Mr. Please! Mrs. Robinson? She's the slut that no one else should know."

I used to believe that the words to Tom Jones - Sex Bomb was actually Sex Pot. I know the words don't sound the same but if you listen to the song, it really does sound like sex pot

In the song, "What a Wonderful World", there is a line that goes, "The bright, blessed day, The dark sacred night". I thought Satchmo was saying, "The bright, blessed day, The dogs say Goodnight"! It wasn't until my family asked why I always said "Woof-woof" at that point that I discovered my mistake!

Sylvia

I thought the Elton John song where he sings, "I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down into words..." was "i hope you don't mind, platypus down in the woods."

I also thought the Barry Manilow song where he sings, "Looks like we made it." was "Looks like tomatoes."

Amanda

My friend used to think "smoke on the water, fire in the sky" was "smooth walking Walter, the fire engine guy"

H Janus

My son who is now grown up loved to sing along to the Rick Astley song "Fold me in your arms". It was hold not fold!

Mysterious Ways - U2

My girlfriend confessed she had some difficulty understanding the line "Onionese Boy" (a boy from Onionesia?)
I almost felt sorry telling her the actual line is "On your knees boy". We both had a good laugh.

In the 80's, in my early teens, I used to think that one line of the lyrics in "The Final Countdown" by Europe was "We're heading for peanuts" - when it's really "We're heading for Venus"...

my brother used to think that the lyric's to POD's song "youth of a nation" went "we are we are, use your imagination". I laughed so hard when i heard him singing that!!

Maeghan

I used to think that song "Shake Your Booty" Was "shake you food in". I thought how stupid, who shakes their food in!

LP

i used to think that the lyrics to the sex pistols song pretty vacant were
"i dont belive illusions spend to muck in toledo so keep your cheap coming cause we dont want your fritos" the real lyrics are i dont belive illusions cause to much is real so stop your cheap comments cause we know what we feel

sidney

Steve Miller's "Big ole jet airliner"...i always heard "big ole J with a lighter"

I used to think that song that goes "everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you" went "everytime you go away, you take a piece of MEAT with you". To me it made much more sense than taking a piece of someone else.
