I thought in 12 days of Christmas song that "1 partridge in a pear tree" was actually a cartridge in a pear tree (I didn't know what "partridge" was, so I thought the word was "cartridge" but I didn't know why they put it in a tree), and "2 turtle doves" was actually 2 turtles and 2 doves.

In that song "Kung Fu Fighting", it says, "Everybody was kung-fu fighting; those kicks were fast as lightning." For the longest time, I thought it said "Those STICKS were fast as lightning." Sticks as in needle sticks, like injections.

This was accompanied by a mental image of little kids kung-fu kicking doctors since they didn't want to get shots. Thus, the doctors had to hurry up "fast as lightning" to give them their shots.
Makes sense to me; I was one of those kids that would scream and kick and cry hysterically when I had to get a shot.
It wasn't until about 3 years ago that I was enlightened to the song's true lyrics! (I like my version better.)

For some reason, I got Andy Williams and Neil Diamond confused via the songs...then I figured it out via Christmas tunes...

My boyfriend told me when he was younger, he was listening to "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" with another child. The line that says "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes" played, and my boyfriend sang it right but his playmate said "The girl with colitis goes by." I laughed for an hour or so.

Yesterday our family was watching the Seinfeld episode "The Pothole." At the end, Newman was singing "You're once, twice, three times a lady" when his truck burst into flames. After the episode was finished, my brother (17 years old) was replaying it in his mind and sang, "You're once, twice, three times later."

My mom used to think that the line "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in," from England Dan's "I'd really love to see you tonight" was actually "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen" (a reference to sheets).

I used to believe…

at the beginning of the green day song Jesus of Sububia, the line is IM THE SON OF RAGE AND LOVE. as i listened to it with my friend he cluelessly sang, I JUST ROBBED A LADY LOVE.

i thought the beatles song Lucy in the skies with diamonds was about the peanuts (charlie brown) cartoons. i heard "Lucy in Disguise with Linus." i thought the seahorse people and colidiscope eyes were her disguise

I used to believe that the lyrics to "My eyes adored you" were really "Liza Georgia, though I never laid a hand on you Liza Georgia" and that the song "Forever in Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond was really "Reverend Blue Jeans" and wanted to go to his church!

I used to believe…

the Tim Mcgaw song "live like you were dyin"
says he went 3.7 seconds on bull named Fumanchu but M and my friend always sang a bull named Blue man Jew. i was 16...

i used to think the ac/dc song you shook me all night long was you should be all night long until i was 11 and my friend sean told me after a dance that i was yelling the wrong words to the song i was so embarrassed

Up until recently I thought the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" were:
Later on, we'll perspire
As we dream by the fire
To face you're away
The plans that we hate,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

My mom had a good laugh at that one.

Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places" I heard as,
I got friends in the Oasis. I thought that it was handy if you were ever stuck in the desert. My dad and sister corrected me one day while I was singing along.

There's this commercial for the Drug-Free America campaign, where this cowboy is in the middle of the street playing a guitar and singing, but he's had a tracheotomy so he was using that little box that gives you a robot voice. Anyway, he's singing stuff like "you don't always die from tobacco, sometmes you just lose a lung" and then at the end he says "yippie yi yo ki-yay". I always thought he was actually saying, "Happy Holidays!"
I never really thought about the fact that it was April, and no holidays were taking place...

I used to believe when I was a kid that the lyrics to Elton John's song "Tiny Dancer" was "Hold me closer Tony Danza" because I really liked the sitcom "Who's the Boss?" growing up. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I figured out that was wrong, and to this day I still hear "Tony Danza."

I used to think the title dude looks like a lady was do the funky lady I said that when i was 5 my bro said it's dude looks like a lady
