A very god friend of mine used to sing "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be staling. Instead of "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing. We were coming down the highway, 3 of us and she is shouting at the top of her lungs with the radio blaring singing the wrong word. My other friend and I died laughing

— still laughing

I used to think the line in Green Day's when i come around was "sell donuts at my door" instead of "so don't knock down my door"

I believed the words to the nursery rhyme were:

It's raining, It's puring
the old man is snoring
He went to bed
with a bucket on his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.

I was looking at this website, and I saw a belief saying,

[I used to think that the 80's song
" I wish that I had Jesse's girl"
was
"I wish that I was Jesse's girl"
and I was so confused as to why a boy would want to be Jesse's girl.

When I read that, I thought to myself, "Wait, they DON'T say 'I wish that I was Jesse's girl?'"
Wow, I was always confused about that too!

In the Green Day song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," when the singer says, "Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me," I thought he said "Sometimes I wish a grizzly bear will find me."

when i was young i thought that the AC/DC song dirty deeds was "dirty Dees and the Thunder Chief"

I think it was either me or my sister that used to sing Baa Baa black sheep with these alternative lyrics;
And one for the little boy who lived down the DRAAAAAYN!

I though the lyrics to Paul Simon's Call Me Al went:
I can call you baby,
Ready when you call me
You can call me out.
In stead of:
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
It seemed to make sense at the time!

I used to believe that during "The Star Spangled Banner"
that instead of 'by the dawn's early light' it would say,
'by the donnzerrli light' like it was a place or something!

In the Take that song (originally by the Beegees) 'How Deep Is Your Love' ..there the line "And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love"

i thought "and its me you need to show" was " and you really need to shutup!!!"

In the Gorrilaz song "Clint Eastwood", I thought he sang
"I'm happy,
Feelin' glad
I got sunshine
Inabye (::whatever that means::)
I got new slides
But not for long
The future is comin' on."

"When it actually goes like,
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad.
I got sunshine in a bag.
I'm useless, but not for long.
My future is comin' on."
