When I watched Zoboomafoo as a young child, I thought that in the "Animal Friends" song at the end of each episode, the line "Go make an animal friend today" was "A naked animal friend today", and I thought that what I misheard it as made sense because animals don't wear clothes.
I used to think George Harrison was my Dad. My Mom showed me a picture of my Dad when I was really small and I had a dream of George Harrison being fatherly to me and somehow it followed me into reality. That was when I was about 9-11.

When I was little, I used to believe Michael Jackson was not American but Brazilian.

I used to watch "Piglet's Big Movie" when I was four years old. There is a Carly Simon song in it with the line "a house is built where it wasn't before", and the word "before" is sung with the note held for a while. I thought it was saying "be four", especially since I was four, and would sometimes even sing it changing the "four" to other numbers, like "be hundred".

A frankie valley four seasons song. He sang "I think I've got a feeling it might end too soon" (think that's right!) Play it and you will hear "I've got a funny itch in my tutu"
That's how I heard it!!

I thought the song "Hit me with your best shot" was "Hit me with your pet shark"
Every time we sang the song 'Let There Be Peace On Earth' at school I'd have to try not to cry. How could I
"walk with my brother" when I used a wheelchair and was an only child??
I remember hearing this great song with wacky lyrics by the Go Go's, called "Alice The Seal". I was very disappointed to find that it was actually "Our Lips Are Sealed".

top belief!
I grew up in Portsmouth, with the Isle of Wight within sight across the sea, reachable by ferry or hovercraft in minutes. The name of the town immediately on the other side was called Ryde.
So when the Beatles composed a song called 'Ticket to Ride', I naturally thought they were talking about someone who had a Ticket to Ryde. It seemed a little odd that the lady in question had no cares or worries because she had a ticket to Ryde, since it wasn't much of a place to visit. Still I reasoned it was at least a tranquil on the whole.
Years later it still called Ticket to Ryde in my head.

I used to believe that in "Combine Harvester," by the Wurzels, they sang "Come on now let's get together and burp in harmony." Would you believe.
