there used to be a song that got a ton of radio airplay. i could have bet you a million bucks that it said "don't make me yodel" . it was by sinead oconner and it actually said "don't make me over". i couldnt understand why she didn't want to yodel. i even tried to yodel to see if it was painful or if something bad who happen to me afterward.
I used to believe that in the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray,that when she sang 'And my heart crumbles when you are not near' she was actually singing 'And i wear goggles when you are not near'

To the artful dodger and craig david song, my mum swears the lyrics are re-ewind "i'm the basketball selector" instead of "when the crowd say bo- selecta!" She doesn't believe me when i correct her but she also can't explain exactly what a basketball selector does and why mr david's singing about them!

when i was about 3 or 4 i used to think that the lyrics to madness's "our house" were "our house in the middle of ostrich". I thought ostrich was a place somewhere in australia and i also thought that i could see it from my front room window, and that it would take a matter of minutes to walk to australia. very unlikely, being as we live in the uk.

In Otherside by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I could've sworn they sang "the ostrich is full and its spilling my guts."
The real line is "the ashtray is full and I'm spilling my guts". Oops.

For years as a kid I thought the Pretenders 'Thin Line Bewteen Love and Hate' was actually a clever reference that only grown ups must be able to understand, on how rubbish the disintegration of a relationship is in the line, 'it's a bin liner between love & hate'.
At least I don't feel so stupid about my Neil Diamond 'Reverend Blue Jeans' mistake having seen it on this site now though...

Well I believed that the song 'Constant Craving' (by KD Lang, I think) was actually can't stand gravy!! And sang these words right up until my husband pointed the correct words out to me about 3 years ago!!

Literally until a couple of weeks ago (and I'm in my 30's), I thought Streetlife by Randy Crawford was titled Street Light. I've always thought the lyrics were stupid....turns out that's me.
I am really shocked, you know the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, the chorous isn't "free love", I'm 16 and until last week i had no idea. I still don't really believe it's not. Is it?

When I used to sing "rock-a-bye baby" i thought the words were "and down will come gravy, cradle and all". And I thought my mum was being an idiot when she tried to correct me.

when i was younger, i used to like a song, dont know who it was by..that had the lyrics "it must have been love but it's over now" mistaking "it must have been love" for "aston villa" (an english footie team if anyones puzzled lol..) (if u know the song, listen, and it will make sense..) and being in awe that someone loved a football team THAT much
I used to believe…
you know the Christmas song 'war is over' by Jon Lennon and Yoko Ono? well they do a bit of whispering at the beggining of the track, before the singing starts, and i swear to god they say ''happy Christma Gilcorn'' then ''Happy christmas Julie'' I have listened 2 it alot and even though it can't possibly be that, It really is. Its makes me laugh every year.
