music: misheard lyrics

I thought that Ac/Dc song, "You Shook Me All Night Long" was "You Shoot Me All Night Long." I figured out the song was about sex, but I thought "shoot me" was a slang that I just hadn't heard yet.

When I was in elementary school we used to listen to 60's 70's and 80's songs and I thought the lyrics for "Hey Mickey" were "you take me by the paw when you take me by the hand instead of "you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand"

Up until very recently (I'm now 25) I thought the line in the song Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison was ' going down on the old man with a transister radio' .....the line is actually ' going down the old mine with a transister radio'......obviously it didn't make sense when I was little, but when I was a teenager I just accepted what I thought I had heard and came to the conclusion that Van Morrison was just plain dirty.

I thought in the song "First and Last and Always" by Sisters of Mercy the first line was " I see her body and I dream of the dentist" (instead of the correct "dead days") I figure for some people dreaming of the dentist would be more scary than the dead days!

I thought Mary Black's song "Columbus" was not saying " You dream of Columbus" but "You dream of plumbers ( streched out to three syllables to fit the cadence of the song) till I found out the song's name

I used to believe that there were words to the song Colonel Bogie's March. The song that is whistled in the Breakfast Club. My father told me the words were: "Horsepoo, it makes the grass grow green" repeated over and over

i used to think the line from the song went "going to the jack-o-lantern" instead of "going to the chapel and we're" gonna get married from the Dixie Cups early 60's song, Chapel of Love.

I used to sing the first stanza of "Oh, Beautiful" like so:
"Oh, Beautiful for spaceship eyes..."

I have no idea how aliens got in there?!

I thought for ages that the line "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" in Bohemian Rhapsody was actually "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard, meeeeeee"

There's a song by "The Jam" which contains the lyric "I lost an era daydreaming like I do". I thought they were singing "I lost an ear a day, dreaming like I do".
It sounds exactly the same either way.

I used to believe that the song that said, "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" said, "every time you go away, you take a piece of 'meat' with you"

There's a song by Kenny Rogers that goes "take my hand, let's go through this door..." (at least that's what I think he's saying). For the longest time, I thought he was singing "let's go through the store". I wondered which store could it be. I also thought of that line every time I walked into the grocery store.

I used to think the Tom Jones song "A Boy from Nowhere" was called...."A Boy From Norway"! I felt flattered - being Norwegian....

I can't listen to the Credence song Loki the same way since a friend told me what he grew up thinking the lyrics were.
In his mind the line "...I'm stuck in Loki again", became "...I'm sucking on old diaphragms". Brings a smile to my face everytime II hear the song.

Hot Chocolate you sexy thing
I thought they said
" I believe in Malcom "

My friend used to think that the line in Alanis Morrisette's "ironic" said "it's like a death-row hard-on, two minutes too late". When told her it was actually "death-row pardon" the line made a lot more sense, but now I can't think of that line any other way
