I was a fully functioning adult when I heard this one.. there's a nifty Van Morrison song which says: "And we walked the pagan streams". But I was hearing "And we walked the pig in strings", which puts a whole other slant on Celtic mysticism.

People still erroneously believe that the Beatles have a song about a 'paperback writer', when clearly it's about a paper bag writer as I have known since the age of four.

It was roughly the same time that I started to eat Indian food and discovered Abba. I thought that Abba sang about Chicken Tikka when in fact it was Chiquitia.

I used to think that "Thank You For The Music" was an old wartime song. This is because Vera Lynn oftne used to sing it on Pebble Mill at One and the like in the late seventies.

Up until a couple of weeks ago (and I'm nearly 40 !), I was convinced that in the song "How Deep is Your Love", the Bee Gees sang that "You came to me on a submarine". I've always thought it was a bizarre lyric. (It's actually "on a Summer breeze")
Until I was about 21, when the penny dropped, I used to think that the song lyrics "One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow", was about a bloke and his dog who went to a place called "Mow-a-Meadow".
Well my parents didn't have a lawn... :)
