There is this song by Avril Lavinge called Complicated. I loved the song, but I made a major mistake on a lyric.

Actual lyric:
"Your never gonna find me fakin'"

What I thought:
"Your never gonna find your bacon."

Yikes, big mistake. =X

I will never find my bacon ='(

When I was young, I thought the song "Secret Agent Man" was actually called "Secret Asian Man" and I could never understand why they had "taken away his name"

I used to believe that Watergate was in Alabama because Lynyrd Skynrd mentioned it in their son "Home Sweet Home Alabama."

Elton John's Bennie and the Jets I thought it said "she's got electric boobs" but really it was an electric suit

In Hilary Duff's song, "With Love", I heard in the chorus: "You can even be tough, say you'll have a Zima." It's actually, "say enough is enough". But in my opinion having a boyfriend who drinks Zima is way worse than one who will tell you if you look fat in that.

All of my family and friends have always sung to the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray "I wear goggles when you are not here" when it actually says "My world crumbles when you are not near". We had no idea why she was wearing goggles but we say it anyway

Take That: Want you back.Want you back for good.

Instead someone told my Mum that these were the words.

Wash your back.
Wash your back for good.

I then picked up on them and was always going around singing it, and one day at school someone in my class corrected me. I was so embarrassed.

There's a Joan Armatrading song called "The dealer". It contains the line, "I'm the dealer, and they want me for all, all I can give". I thought confused the words "I'm the dealer" with "Armadillo", and believed it to be a song about the illegal Armadillo trade.

When the All Saints song 'Never Ever' came out, my sister and I loved it and sang along: 'The ceiling won't last that long...' We didn't question that at all. A very long time afterwards it clicked that the line was 'This feeling won't last that long.'

Husna

the Tim Mcgaw song "live like you were dyin"
says he went 3.7 seconds on bull named Fumanchu but M and my friend always sang a bull named Blue man Jew. i was 16...

Linet

My mom used to think that the line "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in," from England Dan's "I'd really love to see you tonight" was actually "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen" (a reference to sheets).

Erika

I thought in 12 days of Christmas song that "1 partridge in a pear tree" was actually a cartridge in a pear tree (I didn't know what "partridge" was, so I thought the word was "cartridge" but I didn't know why they put it in a tree), and "2 turtle doves" was actually 2 turtles and 2 doves.

Much to my shame I was a Shakin' Stevens fan as a kid, and he had this song called "A Letter to You"..and I spent my childhool wondering what on earth "oh oh you don't know that a tiggarain bar and sent it off in a letter to you" meant, until I heard the song years later and worked out he was in fact singing "oh oh you don't know that I took a rainbow, and sent it off in a letter to you"!!! what a twit....!!!

I thought the words to Put Your Records On by Corrine Bailey-Rae were "sapphire naked dreams" when they're really "sapphire faded jeans"!

Emmy

I used to think these were the words to "Under my Umbrella"

Alcual words: I took an oath and I'm stickin to it till the end

What I thought: I will take a tack and stick you to the end.

Remember the song from the '60's, "Beauty's Only Skin Deep"? Until I was 20, I thought the title was, "Do You Wanna See Me". I thought I was showing my worldliness and maturity when I sang it one day...that is, until my 31 year old friend laughed himself off a sofa while correcting me.

When I was little, I heard the last song that's played in Grease and thought John Travolta was saying "I got juice in the blender" instead of "I got chills, they're multiplyin." I have no idea how I thought that.
