AC/DC's Dirty Deed:
I still swear the line "done dirt cheep" was said "Dunder Chief." I thought the Dunder Chief was the one doing dirty deeds.
I used to think that the lyrics to the song Daddy's Money by Ricochet were "She's a goodbye swisher, a dynamite kisser. Hungry as a turn up free..." when they're really "She's a good bass fisher, a dynamite kisser. Country as a turnip green..." I found out I had it wrong when I was singing with my friend. She thought it was pretty funny!

I thought the elvis song that goes "Return to Sender address unknown" was "Return September...." I always wondered what september's address was!!
in the song hakuna matata where timon and pumba sing "it's a problem free
philosophy", I thought they said "it' a
problem Tree Phil and Sophie". I walked
around singing this over and over again
when I was five.
I used to think in the song Hotel California, it was 'We are programmed to deceive', as well as 'She got the Mercedes Benz instead of "bends" (which is the correct term).

As a child in the sixties I thought the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" was "A Croupy Kind of Love" because I'd had a croupy cough.
Dutch radio DJ Jeroen van Inkel confessed he used to think it was:
"I got my first real sexdream"
instead of
"I got my first real sixstring"
(Bryan Adams - Summer of '69)
I thought is was sixstream, but hey, I'm dutch!
My mother seriously thought Dido's song 'White Flag' went '...I will poke my eyes out and surrender..' rather than '...i will put my hands up and surrender...' And she's old. What a dumbass!
"On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
3 french hens,
2 turtle dogs,
and a partridge in a pear tree!"
The moment that the rest of my family figured out I had the words wrong was captured with my Fisher-Price tape recorder. I still have the cassette.
my mom used to think that the lyrics to Beyonce's song "Baby Boy" were Baby boy say amma ma when it was really Baby boy you stay on my mind. amma in our language is mom so she was like "baby boy say mom?" and would start laughing. we correct her but she still says amma ma
When I was in 7th or 8th grade, "Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins was a popular song on the radio. Near the end of the song there was a passage I had difficulty figuring out the lyrics too - eventually I decided they went like this:
You play your fiddle
Well I could get it in an hour
I'll play your fiddle
For an hour
It was a few years later that I discovered, while looking at the liner notes for the album it's on, how the lyrics actually went:
You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself
For wanting more
Practically the same, right? Right.
My friend's mum likes Bruce Springsteen a fair bit, and she recently got his latest album. Over dinner one night when I was there, she professed her confusion as to why he was talking about a "muffin man", before we all pointed out to her that it was actually "nuthin man"
I have two, one mine one my friends. I always have and always will believe that Celine Deon's "The heart does go on" goes "The hot dogs go on" and my friend things the chorus to Rob Zombie's Devil Man goes "Deaf old man, deaf old man calling, deaf old man runnin' through my head"!
When I was little, that flocks of seagul song 'i ran' was my favorite song. I thought it went "I run along the Alamo, I'd never thought I'd meet a hurl like you, meet a hurl like you..."

Whoops.
I thought the song was High on the G string (not peace train)
my aunt always thought that the Who were saying 'living in a trunk' instead of 'Eminence Front'. my aunt worries me...
I use to think that the song "there's gonna be a heartache tonight" was "There's gonna be a party tonight.
I have no idea why.
Y'know that Beach Boys song " Fun Fun Fun"? Well, I used to sing it all the time as " And she'll have FUN FUN FUN till her daddy takes her t-shirt away...." Wow. Didn't know fathers back in the 60's were lil' pimps to their friggin' DAUGHTERS! SICK!
My sister's boyfriend recently revealed that in Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" where it sang "Hold me closer tiny dancer" that he thought it said "Hold me closer Tony Dansi." I can't listen to the song without cracking up now
