When I was young I believed that in Queens Bohemian Rhapsody they sang..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from these pork sausages!" when it was actually..."Hes just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity"

Also when I heard ABBA singing Super Trouper I thought the lyrics were..."I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesocs" when it's actually "I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Glasgow"...oops!

When I first started school, my class used to sing the hymn 'He's got the whole world in his hands' and I thought the words were 'He's got the whole world, P.E. Sands'. I wondered who P.E. Sands was and why he would be holding the world in his hands.

In Beyonce's song "Single Ladies" are the lines:

"I need no permission, did I mention?
Don't pay him any attention."

For a long time I thought those lines said:

"I need no permission, did I mention?
Duct tape 'em many attentions."

In the song 'Sleeping Satellite,' Tasmin Archer sung 'I wonder why, are the seas still dry?'
I used to think she sung 'I wonder why, are the seats still dry?' I thought the song was about a very scary space mission where it was common for people to wet their pants on their seats.
As a kid, I was rather obsessed with people peeing and pooing themselves, especially with fear.

Up until very recently (I'm now 25) I thought the line in the song Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison was ' going down on the old man with a transister radio' .....the line is actually ' going down the old mine with a transister radio'......obviously it didn't make sense when I was little, but when I was a teenager I just accepted what I thought I had heard and came to the conclusion that Van Morrison was just plain dirty.

"Sunglasses at Night" - real lyrics:

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
oh no

I just looked up the lyrics when I realized that my idea was probably wrong. I heard:

Don't masturbate with the guy in shades
oh no

My dad used to listen to 80's music while painting. Once, when listening to the song, 'Voices Carry', I became convinced that the lyrics were...

Oh, I'll
Eat without you
This is scary!

After that, I refused to eat alone for a great deal of time.

I used to believe the lyrics in Lynard Skynard's "That Smell" were somewhat anti-semetic: "The smell of death is a round Jew".

The song "The Girl is on to you" by Bette Midler has a line
"She's grown much wiser than you realize," which I heard as "She's grown much wider than you realize."

Bon Jovi was a huge hit when I 13 and I used to think that they lyrics to "Wanted Dead or Alive" were...."on a steering horse I ride", my husband informed me 2 years ago that I had been singing it all wrong for 17 years.

Anyone remember this hysterical Bilbo-Baggins-song done by Leonard Nimoy? At one point he says "to help some dwarves get back their gold" and it totally sounds like "help some whores" – I used to wonder what whores were doing in a song about Hobbits, and even now I hear whores instead of dwarves every time!

I must've thought the song " Blue " was written posthumously by Eiffel65 because I was certain the lyrics claimed " I'm blue I was beat up and died... "

Although I now know the lyrics are " I'm blue ba-da-be-ba-da-bi " in the song Blue, I still can't help singing what I'd always thought Eiffel65 sang... " I'm blue I got beat up and died"

Hearing the theme song every week, I I thought The Who were threatening some kind of extreme supplies embargo on C S I Miami when they menacingly sang " W O N T get food A G A I N ! " .

There was a song I misheard when I was really little. I don't know the title, but I thought it went like this:
I tut (like king tut) you once, I tut you twice
A walnut cold at any advice
(That's all I remember. I wrote down my wrong lyrics somewhere, and it was at least the whole chorus.) I always assumed it would make more sense when I got older. And it did, but only when I found out it went like this:
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
(at least, I think--my hearing's better now, but I've never really looked it up.) I don't think that would have made sense to the little kid me either ;)

I used to believe Madonna was singing 'poppadom peach' rather than 'papa don't preach'! I found out my mistake when i sang it really loudly and got laughed at by my friends

I used to believe the words to my dad's favorite song(Mysterious Ways, by U2) were, "Shamu the mysterious whale!" Instead of "She moves in mysterious ways!"
