The real chorus to Smooth Criminal is "Annie you ok, your ok, your ok Annie"
What I heard: "Annie rogaine, rogaine, rogaine Annie."
I was thinking he was tactfully trying to tell the girl that she had a bald spot. Age was a smooth criminal and had stolen her hair.
When my sister and I were in the car the song, "How Bizzare" came on. We thought it was saying, "Help is on." It wasn't until a couple weeks later I called her and let her know I found out the real words.

When I was about 4, my dad would play travis tritt songs all the time. There is a song (T-R-O-U-B-L-E) I thought he was saying "tea all over you baby)

I thought in Elton John's Levon, the song said "Count the head-locks on the highway" instead of head-lights.
I used to believe…
That song that goes "Please don't go. Don't go. I'm begging you to stay." when I was little I thought he was saying "Read the book. The book! I'm begging you to say."
I really and truly thought that Prince was singing "Leroy come on back" instead of "Little Red Corvette" and tried to figure out what sort of friendship Prince had with Leroy and what he did to make him leave
In Hermans Hermits "Silhouettes" I used to believe he was singing "let me in or else I'll WEE down your door" when in fact the real words are "let me in or else I'll BEAT down your door"
When I was in about 5th grade,I always thought that TLC's "Scrub" went "A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fine,also known as a bustop. Always thinking 'bout what he wants, since I'm his broke ass."it really went"A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass"

i used to think that the song that goes, "my baby's got a secret." went, "my baby's got a seatbelt."
I used to believe…
first, i used to think that in elton john's "tiny dancer" when it says "hold me closer, tiny dancer" he was saying "hold me closer tony danza"
also, jimmy eat world's "everything, everything will be alright" i thought was "elephant, elephant will be alright"
I used to think ((Like, one week ago,)) that the words to the Green Day song 'American Idiot', went like this:
'Information, nation, hysteria ...'
When it actually went,
'Information age of hyesteria.'
And I still can't tell if they sing 'Calling out to idiot America!'
or 'Going out to idiot America!'.
Heh. I'm stupid. Yep.

I used to believe that the lyrics to an old song my mum sang were "take my hand, I'm a strange looking parasite" !! :)
When I was little the song "Material Girl" by Madonna was on the radio a lot. My hearing must not have been too keen, because for more years than I care to admit I thought the song was called "Cheerio Girl." I kept wondering what, exactly, made one a Cheerio girl : P
when i was a kid in the 80's i thought it was hush hush, keep it down now, don't tell gary. instead of keep it down now voices carry. and even watching the video i would think, that gary is such a jerk. aahhh i hate that gary. i didn't realize it until maybe 4-5 years ago. go figure?
My friend used to sing a song she loved when she was young. It really goes "I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman...". But she used to sing "I am strong! I am invisible! I am woman!" She thought that being invisible was one of the woman's powers... :)
When I was little I used to think the TLC song "Waterfalls" actually said 'Go, go, Jason waterfalls.'
And I thought that in the song 'Guys do it all the time" by Mindy McCready the line that said "Get over it, honey" actually said, 'Get over Wayne Gretzsky'
When I was growing up watching reruns of Gilligans Island. I would sing... Just sit right back and you'll hear a tail.. a tail of a bait boat shrimp...
when Destiny's Child Bug-a-Boo came out I used to hear: mBreak my knees so I can move rather than break my lease so I can move. I always wondered how she'd be able to move with broken knees... really disturbing.
Until I was about fourteen, I used to routinely mix up the words "prostrate" and "prostate." Whenever I listened to "Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls (which was, and still is, one of my favourite songs), I always wondered why they sang "I spent four years 'prostate' to the higher mind, got my paper, and I was free!"; because I knew that "prostate" was a gland in a guy's butt (or something). So, for the LONGEST time, I believed that the Indigo Girls were singing about guys' butt glands.
I had an older cousin who thought she knew everything, and I thought she did too. This was until I heard her sing the Go-Go's song "Our Lips are Sealed" as "I Love Lucille!" Boy, I never let her live that down! ;-)
