I thought that every singer was only entitled to one song. If you ended up with "Volare" or "Ode to Billy Joe", that was it; every new song written had to have a new singer to sing it. (I also thought it was "Ode to Billy Joel". I thought Billy Joel had found an interesting loophole to the one song/one singer rule by becoming a song subject.)

In The Smiths song "This Charming Man", when Morrisey sings,
"I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care".
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring" "
I thought he sang,
"I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wait,
This man, he's gruesome, said someone so handsome should care.
A jumped up country boy
Who never knew his place
She said, return to me."
Well, Morrisey IS pretty darn difficult to understand, listen to this song and you'll understand!
I once was terrified of the Christmas song "Deck the Halls" because I was certain that the line, "troll the ancient yuletide carol" referred to a big mean troll tending to a fireplace.

A couple years ago my brother was singing the AC/DC song "Dirty Deeds" and instead of saying, dirty deeds and there done dirt cheap, he said, dirty deeds and the dunder jig.
I think we all thought this when we were little: I use to sing: (Madonna, Material Girl)
Living in a m'cheerio world
And I am a m'cheerio girl
You know that we are living in a m'cheerio world
And I am a m'cheerio girl

A very dear friend of mine used to think the CCR song "Bad moon on the rise" was "Bathroom on the right". Whenever we went out, someone would ask, Hey Jess where's the bathroom? oh yah, it's on the right...

Until I was 12 I used to think the Australian national anthem ("Advance Australia Fair") was about Australia putting up the price of Australian airline tickets so New Zealanders couldn't afford them - "Advance Australia Fares".

When I was in High School a friend of mine was a big fan of Savage Garden. Amongst others, the Animal Song was one of her favourites. She used to sing "I want to live like cannon balls" instead of "I want to live like animals". And then "I want to run through the jungle with wind in my hair and the smell of my feet" instead of "I want to run through the jungle with wind in my hair and the sand at my feet". !!! I haven't seen her in years but always remember her with fondness when I hear this song.

One week before christmas I asked my mom, where we could get a "Partriginipear" Tree since there was a song about it I thought it was a must have kind of tree, for the season to get started. Mom and I argued for what seemed to be about 20 minutes, where she clearly explained about a partridge bird , in a pear tree.

There is this band called Ingram hill and on one of their songs they sing:
"On my way I'll take the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll take your dreams."
Because of their accent I thought They said:
"On my way I'll seek the sunshine"
"And on my way I'll seek your dreams."
SO EMBARRASING! Me and my Dad debated about it And we were both wrong!
