The song "Living Off the Wall": where he sings "just enjoy yourself", I used to think it was "just control yourself".
one of my friends favorite songs was "hips dont lie" by shakira. one day we were at work and we were listening to it. and she starts belting "OHHHHHHH, DONT YA KNOW - MY HIPS DONT LIE.." instead of "im on tonight - my hips dont lie.." she still thinks its her way.

My sister used to think thewords to the song were "later on, we'll perspire". I suppose that makes sense if you're by the fire.
When my brother and I were younger (I was ten, he was seven), we heard the song "I'm Your Venus" on the radio, and we thought it was "I'm Your Penis." Seriously......we'd even go around the house singing it, much to my parents dismay/amusement. We didn't get why someone would write a song about a planet, and since the song was about love, well.....I guess you could say we put two and two together and came up with five, lol.
Theres a punk song called "Ruby Soho". In the song the lyrics go "He's singing and she's there to lend a hand, He's seen his name on the marquee but she won't ever understand" I misheard the lyrics as "He's single and she's down giving head , He's seen this dame at the market and she won't ever understand" I found out the real lyics after embaressing singing mine in front a old friend. I now know. In my defense the lead singer has a very rough, slurry voice and he's hard to hear right a lot.

I thought the song "Little Deuce Coupe" was "Little Loose Tooth".
My husband used to believe that Macy Grey was singing "I blow bubbles when you are not here."
I used to think that the BeeGees song "staying alive" said "stay in the light"
My younger sister used to sing a line in Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville "stepped on a pop tart" rather than "stepped on a pop top."
my friend alex thought that the song bottons by the pussycat dolls said "losen up my butt muscle" like they wanted to have anal sex but in acctuality it says losen up my bottons i dont know what goes through his mind somtimes .
I'm the song "santeria" by sublime in the part that says "I don't practice santeria"I used to think it said " I don't practice diarrhea"! For the longest time time I couldn't figure out why the singer would practice diarrhea! God was I stupid a few weeks ago........
I always thought that the song was "Better days of fire" until a cover version came out a couple of years ago, then I found out it was "Bette Davis Eyes"
If there could be better day to have a fire...
I use to think smooth operator was smooth bararella.
Golden Brown by The Stranglers
Lyrics are:
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Of course, I thought it was:
Lays me down with my Mancherons
Well, I thought it was some reference to some Red Indian tribe!

I thought the lyrics in Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" said:
"Your cat flap needs a new pen pal" instead of "You can't plant me in your penthouse"
I always thought that Randy Edelman's "Uptown Uptempo Woman" lyrics went:
"You're an up town up to going
- I'm a down town, down be gone
Of course it's actually
"You're an uptown uptempo woman, I'm a downtown downbeat guy"
one of Journey's songs starts off "i shoulda been gone." when i was about 14 i heard it for the first time and i swore he said "shut up and go home." it was catchy i liked it
My favorite band is Panic! at the Disco, but when I first heard them, I couldn't understand most of their lyrics. For example, in Time to Dance, I thought the line
"Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams"
was
Buzomy boys, hiding in estrogen and learning other kids dreams."
I've always had trouble with lyrics.
My 3 year old daughter sings "Sailing, Sailing 10239" instead of Paul McCartney's holiday tune "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime". i never correct her, cuz it's so cute.
when i first heard boyfriend by Ashlee Simpson i thought she said, "I'm pregnant with you boyfriend" instead of "I didn't steal your boyfriend." I couldn't understand who would have a fetus for a boyfriend.
