I'm a die hard Radiohead fan, and for YEARS I thought that the song "Go to Sleep" went like this:
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something WEIRD is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone SAW someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me
We don't wanna monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down
I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me
REAL LYRICS:
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me
We don't wanna wake monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down
May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me

Up until recently I thought the words to the Slade song that goes ' We'll go wild wild wild' were ' we'll go waah waah waah.
Until recently, I was pretty firmly convinced that The Police were singing "...I'll send an S.O.S. to a squirrel". My husband recently informed me otherwise, after I belted out the song at the top of my lungs while in the car with our friends.
When I was a child, we used to sing "Row, Row, Row your boat" all the time. I used to think the last line was "Life is butter beans" instead of "Life is but a dream".
I swear to this day the the Hot Hot Heat song, Running Out Of Time, has potty lyrics.
He really says "I'm galloping off to meet my bride to be." I SWEAR he says "I can't open up to me my butt to pee". LISTEN TO IT!!!!
There's this song by Avril Lavigne and i think it's called suddenly or how does it feel or something. The chorus was "How does it feel to be different from me, are we the same?" but i thought it went "How does it feel to be different from me, we weigh the same.

I used to think that in The Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville" they actually sang, "Last train to cocksville". Ew...
Ok - please understand that i was young and this is in no way supposed to be hurtful. When i was younger and Anastasia's song "paid my dues" came out - i thought that it was called paid my Jews". I even had a huge arguement woth my dad about it.
I used to always think as a kid that the song "Blue Bayou" was really "Blue By You" and when that song came on the radio I would always try to find something blue near me.
A friend of mine misheard the Band Aid song "Do they know it's Christmas?" Real lyrics......."The greatest gift they'll get this year is LIFE". She heard it has, "the greatest gift they'll get this year is RICE!!"

Thanks in part to that Simpsons episode, I used to believe that the lyrics to the B*rry M*nilow song went: "Oh Mandy, you came and you gave me cold turkey".
When I was growing up my Dad was a huge fan of The Beach Boys, and their song Fun Fun Fun, I thought the chorus was "she'll have fun fun fun when the Daddy took the TEABAG away" it was only until a few years ago I found out that it was actually teabird, he took away. It took 20 years or so for me to realise that! Embarassing lol!

The first time I heard someone in a rap song go "Drop it like it's hot," I thought he said "Drop it like a sock!"
Cute Is What We Aim For song Curse Of Curves.
"we all have defects from vitamin D "
and when they sing it later in the song
"we all have defects from vitamin E "
The real words are " We all have teeth that can bite underneath " Listen to it. It sounds exactly like my version lol.
I'm 21, and my whole life, I always thought George Michael was singing "Wake me up before you go go". Last week my best friend enlightened me to the fact that he's saying "go, girl". Now, every time I leave, or hang up the phone, she says in a retarded voice, "Wait! Don't go go!" lmao.
Good Charlotte's song "Young and Hopeless"... I got made fun of MAJORLY for this one. I'm a die hard fan, and know every word of every song... but for some reason, for years now, I've always thought he was singing "Hot days make me hot, nights shade me". Makes sense, right? lol, the actual lyric is "Hard days made me, Hard nights shaped me", and when my friend told me THIS, I was even more confused... why would Joel sing about being "hard"? =( lmao. I didn't understand where the comma was supposed to go, so I thought it was "Hard days made me hard". Hmm.
I totally love The All-American Rejects, which is why I was a little heartbroken when I heard their song "Straightjacket feeling" for the first time, because instead of hearing their line of "Beg me time and time again" I heard "Bang me time and time again". I defy anyone to listen to that song and not hear "Bang". lol
When I was little, I used to think that Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was actually saying "Do the Lucky Lady"... only, I was pretty young, so instead of even thinking anything sexual, I just pictured a dance called the Lucky Lady, and whenever people heard this song they were supposed to bust out with the "Lucky Lady"... lmao
In the 80's or late 90's their was a song sung by a pop/techno group that had a phrase that said "we're having big fun" my husband use to think it said "we're having meatballs"
I rember Eiffel 65 blue, me and mates used to think it went "i'm blue i believe i can die"
I remember a scholl disco with dance moves of pretending to slit our throats and then collapsing on the floor. So embarressing.
