I firmly used to believe that in the song "Voices carry", they were actually sining 'Mrs. Carrey', and I always wondered why Mrs Carrey got a song.
Later I thought that they said 'This is Gary', so I thought the song was about some person introducing her friend Gary.

One of my friends STILL thinks, to this day, that the lyrics to the Eiffel 65 song "Blue" are, instead of "Im blue da ba dee da ba di etc..." are "I'm Blue if I was green I would die etc..." She still doesn't believe that she's wrong

— Quite Concerned

Oh, this one is probably very common, but the song that goes, "Don't it make your brown eyes blue" Well, I heard, "Donuts make your brown eyes blue" Well, maybe if i ate more donuts, i'd have blue eyes!

When my twin brother, my sister and I heard "Whoomp There It Is", we used to think it said "POOP, THERE IT IS!!!" so we'd go around everywhere, and start singing that at the top of our lungs when we heard it, cuz we thought it was the funniest thing in the world

— "Whoomp there It Is"

I thought the song "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man"

When I was a kid and I heard the song, "What becomes of the broken hearted?" I used to think that the second line was "paid a dime but only farted." I still think of that line when the song comes on.

Another Beach Boys Kokomo mix-up. I heard the line "That monserrat mystique" as "That monster out to sea" Still can't get it right in my head.

— Roller Skater Girl

Remember the song "Dirty Deeds"? I used to sing it "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". When the song came on the radio last year, I asked my husband what on earth they were saying because by then I figured out that maybe "Thunder Chief" didn't make much sense. I still sing it wrong.

Another one: "Hey little thing let me light your candle 'cause momma I'm sure I'm Don Henley now".

— one confused girl

'All night long' by Lionel Ritchie-my friend thought that the line 'Siesta forever' was 'Sylvester forever' !!!!!

I thought the lyrics to the Bee Gees song 'how deep is your love' that went...
and you come to me on a summer's breeze
was....
and you come to me on a submarine!
Well it is about how deep is your love!!!

— Steve Gash

When I was little, I used to think the words to one of the songs in Cinderella were "Sink weed nightengale" when they are actually "Sing sweet nightengale"

— Sarah

One of our neighbor kids was learning songs in first grade. I over heard her singing "Land where the pigeons flied ..... from every mountain slide, let freedom ring." Somehow, her version makes more sense today.

— the sitter

I thought the line "turning saints into the sea" in the Killers' Mr. Brightside wans actually "dirty sex into the sea."
