The lyrics "I believe in miracles" I thought were "I believe in Milko". I couldn't understand why a man would be singing about his milkman especially when in the next line he talks about him being a sexy thing. I know my milkman was not anything to sing about.

The Police - Message in a Bottle:

Actual line: "A year has passed since I wrote my note"

I thought it was: "A year has passed since I broke my nose"!

I used to believe that the kids poem "finders keepers, losers weepers" really said "finders keepers, losers sweepers." I figured that Cinderella had a hard life, and she did a lot of sweeping!

I used to hear "Everytime you go away, you take a piece of Meat with you"
Makes a nice light snack I spose.

That song "another saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money cause I just got laid" My daughter heard me singing away and exclaimed "I just got paid MUM". She walked away shaking her head.

I still hear in the Kate Bush song 'Strange Phenomenon' the words "they made me regurgitate cheese food" for the actual lyrics "they made me read Gurdjieff and Jesus"

my moms friend growing up thought the song that went "Good, good, good, good vibrations" went, "Good, good, good, goodbye braces"

I thought Aerosmith's 'Love in an Elevator' was 'Loving a man like Victor'.

I used to think that the chorus from the song "Stop In the Name of Love" was "Stop! in the neighborhood... before I break your heart" I was singing it at the top of my lungs one day and didn't understand why my brothers were laughing hysterically at me.. they explained of course and then laughed at me some more. Ah well.

I used to think that the lyrics to the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in The Wall pt 3" Were
"The Dukes of Hazzard in the classroom" but, much to my dismay I think Roger Waters was singing about the dark sarcasm.

My Ex-wife when she was little used to believe that the name of the song was "Only Baloney" instead of " Only The Lonely."

Terry Cook

At the end of the song "another one bites the dust" there is a part where Freddie Mercury keeps repeating Another One bites the dust, then he says "I'm Adopted". I thought, How cool, so am I! Never understood what it had to do with a shootout though. I always suspected that wasn't what he was saying, but until now, I never knew he was actually saying "Bites the dust-ah" putting a little more emphasis on the end of the word.
I think it was a secret message to his birth parents though.

I'm adopted

I used to think a lyric to the oldy but goody "Twisting the Night Away" by Sam Cooke was "He's dancing with the chicken slacks." The real lyric is "He's dancing with the Chick In Slacks." For the longest time, I wondered what the heck chicken slacks were!

Part of the UK National Anthem goes:
'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'
I thought it said:
'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'
As there were some twins in my class called Laura and Victoria, this sort of made sense, though I wondered how on earth they had made it to the national anthem.

As a child I always thought that the King of Israel was named "Born" - King Born. From the Christmas Carol "The First Noel"....."Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel" BORN IS THE KING of Israel

Allen Uhler

when i was little i was a huge fan of the Sound of Music. And whenever they sang edelweiss, I thought that they where saying little mice

As an elementary school child I believed that in "Winter Wonder Land" they perspired instead of conspired by the fire.

In the Band Aid song I always thought that it went 'Beaver, woah, do they know it's christmas...' not 'feed the world, do they know it's christmas'.

My brother believed that Michael Jackson's song 'Billy Jean' contained the words, 'Don't go around breaking young girls' arms'!! (It was supposed to be 'hearts'!)

Rachel

For the longest time I thought that in Bruce Springsteen's song, "I'm on fire', where he says "Ooooh....I'm on fire", I was sure he was saying "Ooooh....I might fart".
