I misheard "To all your friends, you're delirious" in Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful". I thought she said "Do I have friends? You're delirious". I guessed she must have felt kinda lonely, misunderstood and everything. But hey, it made sense to me.

I thought that in "Let it Be" they were singing "Let it Pee" and I just couldn't figure out why anyone would NOT let someone else pee.
I used to believe that on Ace of Base's All that She Wants she was saying Ohh Matchy Box, I could never figure out why she was singing about what I thought to be match boxes.

I used to think that Olivia-Newton John was three people like Sharon, Lois and Bram....Olivia, Newt and John
I have a good friend, a very high level executive in a international banking firm, that thought the lyrics to a song were "in a white room, with black cousins" when it's really "in a white room, with black CURTAINS!"

Me and my sister used to like Dina Carroll songs, and we were convinced that one of the songs went, 'The Red-nosed man makes me feel like you do, the red-nosed man and his red-nosed dog' needless to say that actual lyrics are, 'There aint no man makes me feel like you do, there aint no man, aint no doubt'
I think our version is better

When Nirvana's Nevermind first came out, my sister and I used to joke about the last word repeated by Kurt in Smells Like Teen Spirit - not knowing the correct phrase (a denial), and knowing a little Ukrainian, we assumed (naturally) that he had to be saying "Ya Ne Znayoo" or "I don't know"

When I was a child and we drove around Chicago, I first heard the Hall & Oates' song "Maneater" on the car. I thought that Daryl Hall & John Oates said "Oh Michigan!" because I was thinking about Lake Michigan and so.

Dexy's Midnight Runners. Always heard "come on Eileen oh I swear unto thee" as "oh you swear on TV". Because nobody ever swore on TV, so that would be an outrageous thing to do.
I used to believe…
That the first line of ABBA's Mamma Mia was "I've been cheating on you since I don't know when", instead of "I've been cheated by you" It gives the whole song a completely different meaning. I discovered my error at a karaoke night recently. I was absolutely gutted that the woman was actually the victim.
I still prefer my version.

When I was young, easy-listening music was my favorite. When I first heard Louis Armstrong's "Blueberry Hill," I thought that he said "I found my drill on Blueberry hill..." and it turns out "I found my thrill..."

For some reason, the first time I saw Gwen Stefani (from No Doubt), I thought she was Marilyn Monroe. Well, you gotta admit, they do look pretty similar!
I used to think the lyrics in a Jimmie Hendrix song went, "excuse me while I kiss this guy", instead of "excuse me while I kiss the sky"...LOL!

In the Walking on Broken Glass song, My brother and I always used to sing "walking on, walking on, walking on broken grass" and run around barefoot in the yard.
I used to believe…
In 'You're the One That I Want' out of 'Grease', I always thought they were singing 'Russian love, Russian love for me and you' (ie Nothing left, nothing left for me to do).
And going back a bit further than that, I thought the words to the nursery rhyme were 'Horsey horsey don't you stop. Just let your wheels go clippety clop.' Sad thing is, I was in my twenties and singing it to my niece before I suddenly thought 'hang on, horses don't have wheels do they?' Well, it's not like I sang it all that often in the intervening years..

Up until I was over 30 years old, I believed that in the Eddie Cochrane song 'Drive In Show', he was singing 'Bet my penis to a candy bar, you'll be cuter than a movie star'. It seemed a bit overly racey for the 1950s to me, and I wasn't 100% sure that I was hearing it right. But I couldn't think what else it could be, so assumed I must be right. Until my wife pointed out that if you substitue the word 'peanuts', then it makes a whole lot more sense! ok, I suppose so...
I used to believe…
Cant remember who sang it, but there was a song called 'Poetry in Motion' and I always used to sing 'Oh a tree in motion'
A friend of my brother used to sing 'Old Piano' instead of 'Oh Vienna' (Ultravox - Viena)
