My mom had a friend named Pat back in high school, and he would always sing "Banana Woman" when "More Than A Woman" would play on the radio. XD

In the Shwayze song "Corona and Lime" there's a line that goes "I ain't met her but I'll get her when I do". I always thought that it said "I ain't mad about her ghetto attitude".

That makes more sense to me.

I always thought the hook in Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" was "all the boys think she's a spaz" instead of "all the boys think she's a spy." D'oh!

Someone who thinks it's funnier the other way.

This is actually a mis-heard lyric of my husband's:

In RUSH's song "Free Will" - My husband believed that the lyric was "I will choose a Bathosphere" instead of a "Path that's clear"...

I will choose Free Will!

I guess that is why he did not choose oceanography as a lifelong career...

My path is clear!

My father listened to a lot of Queen. Whenever I'd hear the song "Another One Bites the Dust" I wondered why people would bite on tables covered in dust. I tested that out once, and bit the end table at my grandma's house. Now, when ever I hear that song, I can taste lemon Pledge, and feel wood under my teeth. There are still some teeth marks on my grandmothers end table!

I always thought the lyrics to "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls were

"If you wannabe my lover, you gotta take off my pants." I was like 8 and sung it this way and my mother heard and about had a cow, but that's how my best friend sang it so I believed it to go that way.

In "YMCA" my friend used to believe that the line "Young man!" was actually "Gonads!". Her brother never bothered to correct her...

When I was young I believed that in Queens Bohemian Rhapsody they sang..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from these pork sausages!" when it was actually..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity"

Also when I heard ABBA singing Super Trouper I thought the lyrics were..."I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesocs" when it's actually "I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Glasgow"...oops!

For the longest time I thought Credence Clearwater Revival's song "Bad Moon Rising" had the lyrics

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
"There's a bathroom on the right"

The line is really

"There's a bad moon on the rise"

Remember "Crazy for You" by Madonna?
I heard "two by two their bodies become one" as "two by two their bodies decompose". As I was not quite 10, I thought this was the nastiest thing I had ever heard!

There is a church song called "Companions on a Journey." It goes: "We are companions on a journey, eating pread and sharing life."

When I yas little I thought (and sang) "We are camels on a journey eating bread and cherry pie."

When I was growing up in Southern California, there was this used car lot that would play commercials on TV. They always started out with "This is Cal Worthington and his dog Spot." Then the theme song would start. For years I thought the chorus of the song was "pussycow, pussycow, pussycow" instead of "go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal". For years I wonder what the heck a pussycow was.

I used to believe the words to my dad's favorite song(Mysterious Ways, by U2) were, "Shamu the mysterious whale!" Instead of "She moves in mysterious ways!"
