Don't actually know the name of the song - but the lyrics "wide eyed and legless" escaped me for years. I though the guy was singing "my diamond necklace" for years before I realised my mistake!
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this

Another machine gun...
Haha.— Kelle - In Prince's song "I Would Die for You" I used to think he was singing "Apple Dapple do!" — Sara
