When I was 10, i thought the walking in the winter wonderland song went like this 'later on we'll expire' instead of 'later on we'll conspire'. I had all these children dying because they were expired stuck in my head.
Tim McGraw did a remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." Until recently, I thought it said, "Baby darlin', she's a Lennon" meaning that she could sing really well. It's really "Lay me down in sheets of linen," but I still sing the Lennon line.
I only ever heard the song "Camptown Races" once. Every other time I heard it, the guy was just mumbling nonsense. It was that cartoon-rooster guy (I don't remember his name). When I heard my friend singing it, I thought he said "Camptown Racists". What confused me even more was that the first line or so is "Camptown Races sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah...". How can a race sing a song? Do they mean a race like white, black, etc.? Some songs don't make sense to me!
I used to believe…
theres this song i listen to, Evaporated by Ben Folds Five, and i swear he is about to say "i've a faith that theres a salsa where there's a sauce" and hes actually saying "I've faith that there's a soul
whose leading me around"... i always think that hes saying salsa!!
Ok, if you've ever seen the kid show Veggietales, you have heard the theme song. When they were singing "Gotta BE...VEGGIETALES!!!", I thought they were singing "Gotta go PEE on Veggietales!!!" I thought that was so mean!!!

when i was younger, instead of singing, "and a partridge in a pear tree" i sang, " and a partridge ginger had a tree." lol
when i first heard smash mouths im a believer i thought it was rather strange to sing bout a girl with "her finger up her bum and the shape of an L on her forehead i've since discovered its actually " her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead"!!! u no wot they say bout pure minds lol
At a family sing-along my sister made us all hysterical while singing Kenny Roger's Lucille. Instead of the words '4 hungry children & a crop in the field' she sang '400 children & a crop in the field.' Although she knows the correct words now, she will never live this one down for generations!
The Electric Six song, "Danger! High Voltage!" has a line that goes "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bell" but my friend (aged 19!!) thought it was "fire in the disco, fire in the taco bin"!! she thought it was like a bread bin, but especially for taco shells! bless her.
"No woman no cry" by Bob Marley. I always used to sing along to that song. My favourite line was - because of its appealing paradoxical poetry - "My fear ist my only courage, so I've got to push on through." A couple of days ago I had to learn it's "My feet are my only carriage". How boring!
Maybe i should have categorized this as a "rude bit", but its a misheard lyric after all.
I remember hearing Lenny Kravitz' "Dig In" for the first time. The chorus goes like this:
Once you dig in
You'll find it coming out the other side
And once you dig in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time
Im no pervert but i thought he sang "want your d*ck in" (you know the word, but not allowed to write it)... That makes the chorus go like this:
Want your d*ck in
You'll find it coming out the other side
Want your d*ck in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time
I thought to my self: Lenny Kravitz isn't gay, is he?

I used to think the song "love the one you're with" was called "love the one, your win.
I used to believe the Hall & Oates song was "Your Kiss is on My List" but it was really "Your Kiss is on My Lips". My friend Lisa and I had a small 10 year old girl argument over that one.
me and my friend always used to think that the song sunday morning after went "oh my god i woke up with the satan blues" instead of "oh my god i woke up with a snake tattoo"
pick of the bunch
my sis used to think in that britney spears song, 'baby one more time' the first words were 'oh buy them buy them' instead of oh baby baby!!
My little sisters used to sing about the "Muncho Man" (Macho Man by the Village People) and the opening lines to the Bugs Bunny show was "Over shoes, Candlelight" instead of "Overture, curtain, lights". They sang the words so loudly I could never get them to hear that they were wrong.
The song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), during the part were she sings "hold your head up, moving on", I thought she said "aluminum" instead of "moving on". I also thought she sang "sweet dreams are made of the years."

In the Peter Gabriel song, "Don't give up" I thought that he sang "Donkey Butt" instead of "don't give up" in the song and I never really understood why...
My Daughter, who is now 6, just reminded me how she used to think and sing the opening song to the show "Seventh Heaven", as "Seven Kevin", since her uncle's name is Kevin.
I used to think that Supertramp's song "Dreamer" was about me. I was convinced they were singing about "Dreama".
