There's a song by Nelly Furtado called "I'm like a bird", and I always thought until recently it was "hung like a bird", I did wonder!!!

IThe kids I looked after always used to sing "corned beef" whenever Blondies "call me" came on....
My sister use to think Better the Devil you know by Kylie was Bed of the Devil you know.

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.

A collegue of mine was singing along to the song "It's the final countdown" at discoteque in Turkey. The DJ faded the music and all we heard from her was:
"There's a fire in downtown..." - Classic

Up until I was over 30 years old, I believed that in the Eddie Cochrane song 'Drive In Show', he was singing 'Bet my penis to a candy bar, you'll be cuter than a movie star'. It seemed a bit overly racey for the 1950s to me, and I wasn't 100% sure that I was hearing it right. But I couldn't think what else it could be, so assumed I must be right. Until my wife pointed out that if you substitue the word 'peanuts', then it makes a whole lot more sense! ok, I suppose so...

Literally until a couple of weeks ago (and I'm in my 30's), I thought Streetlife by Randy Crawford was titled Street Light. I've always thought the lyrics were stupid....turns out that's me.

For as long as I could remember I thought Trisha Yearwood's "She's in love with the boy" went..."when you, yourself was just a hasty cowboy, who didn't have a motor home." It wasn't until I was married and was singing the song outloud that my wife about wet herself laughing and informed me it was "you yourself was just a hayseed plough boy who didn't have a row to hoe" Oops! I've tried many times to have her see that my way made sense too. No matter what she isn't buying what I'm selling!

My sister used to think the song that went " every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" said every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you.

Anne

When my sister and I were little, my father used to drive us around, listening to cheesey 80's rock. Our favorite song to sing along to was "Egg nog, egg nog...don't dream it's over" which we would BELT, at the top of our lungs, every time the song came on. Not until I was in high school did I realize that Egg Nog was, in fact, "Hey now, hey now...don't dream it's over," by Crowded House.

Celia Rangel

I was convinced that the line "Another Brick In The Wall" was 'no dogs or cats are in the classrooms' instead of 'no dark sarcasm'.

Gary

In Paul Simon's song, "Still Crazy After All These Years", I used to think the line, "And I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers" was "And I would not be caught dead wearing jewelry in my ears."

Mary Ellis

I always thought the song 'goin to the chapel and we're gonna get married...' was

'WE'RE GOIN TO STAPLES AND WE'RE GONNA GET HAIRY!!!'

Amanda.W.

Until my sister saw the Star Spangled Banner written down on one of those paper flags that were passed out after 9/11 she thought the line went.. Oh say can you see by the donserly light... She was so suprised that it was actually Dawn's Early light. She just thought that the donserly light was a type of light that they used back when the song was written. (she was 18 at the time :oP )

Lisa

In the song, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", I thought the line went : ". . . the girl with colitis goes by." instead of the correct " . . .the girl with collidoscope eyes". I had heard of people having some kind of condition called colitis; but hadn't the slightest idea what it was. I held this belief until I was well into my teens.

What about "Another one buys a Datsun." You know, instead of "Another one bites the dust.

e-man

there's a song "so happy together" that i used to hear on the radio. one line goes, "the only one for me is you, and you is me, so happy together". until i was at least 11 i thought the line was, "the only one for me is sue, and sue is me, so smack me with feathers." and i still sing this whenever it's on.

Gina

When I was little there was this song and the lyric was "solve the mystery" and I thought it was "gotta get some listerine" so I would run and get the listerine and put it on the radio.

On Wake me up before you go go

it says
My best friend told me what you did last night

but i thinkas
My best friend told me that you were a transvestite

I misheard the lyrics to Tina Turner's song 'I don't wanna fight no more' as 'I don't wanna fart no more'

and I also used to think that Madonna's 'papa don't preach' was called 'poppadom pete' I thought she was on about a fella who owned an Indian takaway.

Marie

When the Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed" first aired, I thought that the line was:

"...give 'em Jello-stained paper pla-a-a-ates, Alex the Seal..."

instead of the actual:
"...in the jealous games people play-ay-ay-ay...our lips are sealed"
