A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

Enrique Iglesias' song "Bailamos," which means "We dance" in Spanish goes like this:

Bailamos - let the rhythm take you over Bailamos
Te quiero amor mio - Bailamos
Wanna live this night forever - bailamos
Te quiero amor mio - Te quiero

But I thought the song was "By The Balls." Let me then show you what the chorus sounded like to me:

By the balls - let the rhythm take you over By the balls
(unintelligable spanish) - By the balls
Wanna live this night forever - by the balls
(more spanish)

Needless to say, I was very, very confused, especially when I started singing MY version in class during middle school and everyone just stared at me in disbelief. Ah, fond memories...
