The song: Village People’s “Macho Man”
Lyric: Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal,
I heard “with zesty strip and confidence,” life’s a steal instead
Lyric: He's a special person in anybody's land.
I heard, “he’s a special butt sock” in anybody’s land instead

When I was a kid, I thought Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl started with "Hey there amigos!". The line is action "Hey where did we go". I always wondered who the amigos were!
I was convinced for years that the ohio express record 'yummee' went 'yummee yummee yummee, i've got bugs in my tummy'. It wasn't until I was about 35 that I realised my error.

I thought "having been some days in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all" in Being For The Benefit of Mister Kite was, "some beans, some raisins, preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all."

When I got Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' album (around age 9), I thought the line in Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance that goes, "I'm lookin' for a woman needs a worried man" was "I'm lookin' for a woman needs a one-eyed man".
When I first got The Beatles' Abbey Road album, I heard the line "Sleeps in a hole in the road" in Mean Mr. Mustard as "Sheeps in a Hollywood toad"
When I was little, I thought the lyric in The Beatles' "Something" that goes, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe and how" went, "I don't wanna leave her now / you know I believe in cow."
My mom had recently explained to me that George Harrison practiced Hinduism, thus I thought it was perfectly logical for him to write a song about a cow.
I used to think that the line, "She takes just like a woman" in Bob Dylan's 'Just Like A Woman' was, "She tastes just like a woman."
Needless to say I was appalled at the fact that one of my favorite singers had a taste for human flesh.

When I was a kid I used to believe that the refrain to "Just another Manic Monday" by the Bangles was really "Just another MAN named Monday"
You know 'Are you the one' by the presets? I thought he was saying, 'hoooow, are you girl!!!'
And I used to sing it very loudly with my friends. They never even mentioned anything. They all think I'm a spaz, i suppose.

Theres that song by The Offspring that goes, 'And feels like Heavens so far away'
When I was a kid I thought he was saying
'Kevins so far away'
I just thought he was missing his friend. When I told my sister she almost killed herself laughing

Remember that Madness song "Our House"? When they said "Our house, in the middle of our street" I used to believe that the house was literally in the middle of traffic. I wondered, did the house have a big opening where cars went through and then exited through the back?

I always thought the lyrics to "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls were
"If you wannabe my lover, you gotta take off my pants." I was like 8 and sung it this way and my mother heard and about had a cow, but that's how my best friend sang it so I believed it to go that way.
I misheard the lyrics to Fallout Boy's "Sugar, We're Going Down," as:
We're going round round in a merrygoround
And sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded gun calling,
cock it and pull it
in the jimi hendricks song purple haze i thought that when they say "scuse me while i kiss the sky" i thout they said "scuse me while i kiss this guy"
i thought jimi hendrics was gay
I heard "bend me, shake me" when it was really "bend me, shape me"
One day I overheard my brother (about 17yrs old at the time) ask my dad for a copy of "that Elton John song...you know...uhhh...hold me closer I'm tired of dancin'."
I still laugh out loud at that one. I mean come on, it makes sense right? Yep.
In the song "Smooth Operator" by Sade, as a kid I heard....
"No need to ahhsk he's a smooth carburetor.."
I guess the word carburetor was probably heard from my dad who often talked about cars, fixing engines, etc. So I must've plugged the word into the song. I was probably 8 or 9 so what the hell would a smooth operator be? I learned the correct lyrics when I was older.
the song under my umbrealla:
i heard:take a tack and im sting you to the end
real deal:i took an oath and sticking to it till the end.

My cousin who is now 50 still sings I am in Woolworths. (I am a Walrus) by the Beatles
and
My mum used to sing Hold my hand I'm a strange looking parasite. (Hold my hand I'm a stranger in Paradise) Tony Bennett.
