One day while listening to the radio, a song came on and my mother exclaimed happily "Oh, it's my song!" I took it literally, and then went around telling people that my mother was the singer of that particular song for years after!
I thought "We built this cioty on rock n' roll" said.. "We milked this city" and I even imagined a rock group in a high school getting flooded with milk. :| Yes, I know.
I had a friend (I swear it was a friend....) who thought the lyric in the song "Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes was really "Her lip goes up when we're alone." What a dumbass!

My mom has a great collection of vinyl (yes, VINYL!) records... lots of 60's and 70's stuff. So, as a kid, I was exposed to a lot of great music, and knew a lot of trivia about the bands and their music. One day when I was about twelve, some song by Sting (solo) came on the radio and I said "oh, I love this song! Sting sounds JUST like the singer of the Police!". I am now 27 and have not lived it down.

I used to believe that the man Pancho Villa was really Bon Jovi, because everyone was apparently pronouncing it Bon Jovia because he was mexican.
I believed that there were no such thing as music groups, a singer was one person with background music and that was it.

When I was younger I thought that Bennie and the Jets was a real band (not just a song). We had to do an art project we had to draw our favorite band and i drew Bennie and the Jets!

As a kid, whenever i heard the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick In The Wall" the line that goes "No dark sarcasm in the classroom " i heard as:
"The Dukes of Hazzard in the bathroom"
and the theme to Sesame Street where it says "sunny days sweeping the clouds away", as a kid i always sang it as:
"Sunny day, sleep a lot. a-ok"
Funny i've grown up now to become a music major in university and sing in various groups - where i have had trouble remembering lyrics to songs i've had solos in! go figure.

When I was little we used to go to a diner after church every Sunday to have breakfast. Each table had a jukebox where you would put a quarter in and hear a few tunes. I was about 4 or 5 at the time, and used to wonder how the band knew to start playing the song I wanted after I put the quarter in. I figured the quarter must have traveled down a long tube into a back room in the restaurant where a monkey would catch the quarter and bring it to the band, and they would say "Thanks!" and start playing. The only thing I couldn't figure out was how the monkey was able to tell them to play "American Pie" by Don McLean and not one of the other hundred songs in the jukebox. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Up until about oh say 2 years ago (when I was ten) I thought Led Zeppelin was The Rolling Stones. Not by their songs, just how they looked. Never told anyone, then my brother showed me a picture of Jimmy Page and I thought 'Wow..that guy's HOT!'

Just last year me and a couple of my friends were sitting in the car when the country song 'She's My Kind of Rain' by Tim McGraw came on. I began to sing "She's my Cadillac!" instead of "She's my kind of rain". My friends let me sing the whole song like that before pointing out that i was singing it ALL wrong.
I could actually picture a cadillac on a showroom floor with confetti falling down on it! :p
I was really young when the song "The Freaks Come Out At Night" became popular. I thought it was "The Frisco Alley Cat." My family still makes fun of me twenty years later.

When I was a kid my mom would sing the song "Johnny Angel" to me. I thought she had made it up just for me. Until one day when I was 16 that song came on the radio. I could not believe it.

In Eminem's song Mockingbird he says 'and you and Lainie were too young to understand that papa was a Rollin' Stone...'. But I missheard it as 'papa was a Roman stone'. Made sense to me!
