when i was about 4 or 5 my mother was playing the gloria estefan song "wanna be my lover" and i loved it. so then we were at a play date with all my friends and their mothers and i got up and started singing I WANNA BEAT MY LOVER! instead of wanna be my lover.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- sophie b. hawkins. Damn I wish I was your lover. I heard Damn I wish I was your motherAnon
- Billy Squire sang about "My Kind of Lover". My wife sang about "My Candelabra"— Wailerman
- I used to sing at the top of my voice "OLD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"— claire
- I used to think tiny little people were inside my mothers radio singing to me.Anon
- I thought that the song "Hands off she's mine" by The English Beat was actually saying "Anton, she's my aunt"— Nate
- That song that goes:
I'll never let you go...
I thought he was singing:
Another machine gun...
