The line from "Daddy's Home" by Shep and the Limelighters says, "..your best friend wrote and told me.." I had to correct of friend who, from the the early 60s til about 1999, thought it was, "...your best friend Rhoda told me.."
When i was about 13 i heard this song by Earth Wind & Fire, called "Let's Groove tonight"
I thouroughly enjoyed it and kept remembering the part: Mister Scrooge! get you to move.
I found out 4 years later (17 years old now and desperately searching for that really cool song) that the actual words were: Let this groove! get you to move
My 4 year old little cousin sing this song by Donnie Mcklerkin- Fire fall on Me and this song by Nelly Hot in heeerrree.
Real version #1 - Fire, Fire Fire, Fire fall on Me......
Real version#2- Its getting hot in here so take off all your clothes, I am getting so Hot I can take my clothes off...
Hers- Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire fall on me, It's getting hot in here so take off all your clothes I am getting so hot, I can take My own off.
Queen:
"god knows I want to break free"
I heard:
"got nose I want to break free"
Queen:
"that would really be a breakthrough"
I heard:
"that would really be a grapefruit"
When we were little me and my brother were huge fans of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I used to sing the theme tune all the time, but misheard it so that the end line of "what a cool rap" became "radacoo ra"
In the '80s song by Til Tuesday called "Voices Carry," for years I thought the line was, "O-oh shush, even downtown, voices carry..."
I thought the singer was talking about being scolded for not being discrete when she was carrying on downtown.

In some song by vengsboys I always thought it was: "we're going to eat pizza" not " we're going to ibiza" :-)
DUH!!!
Not mine but my daughters. When Will Smith released Wild,Wild West he does that bit where he says Wicky Wild Wild or something to that effect. My daughter used to get really upset and scream that LaLa wasn't wicked.
Teletubbies are a dangerous thing for young minds.
when i heard 'cuz i can' by pink for the first time i thought the lyrics were:
so I'll cash my cheques and face my fans
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fine because
I live a life of sin
though they say So I'll cash my cheques and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked because
I live a life of sin
I used to believe…

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad.
I HEARD THEM THIS WAY!......
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a porn show, playful my ski grows,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through three store jungles
Found Ger on his own rifle, marrying shampoo
And then he got my cold seat and pen.

Never understood the song my niece sang.
Pupple duck street I'm in love and I wont tell you my name! this was in fact
Pappa don't preach by Madonna
I was just reminded of my version of the Bohemian Rhapsody passage that goes:
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
here´s my one:
Beelzebub, as the devil, bought a cycle for me
I used to believe…
the song that goes "poppin' my collar" i started singing it and when it got to that line in the song my friend started singing it and when she was singing it i heard her say "pop in my condom"
When i was little, i thought that song "shake your booty" was actually "shake your booby". one day i was running around in a shopping centre, yelling out "shake your boobies, shake your boobies".
In Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic", I thought the first line said "An old man turned and yanked", which I figured made sense if he won the lottery. Maybe he turned and yanked on a slot machine or something?...
In the song 'Sleeping Satellite,' Tasmin Archer sung 'I wonder why, are the seas still dry?'
I used to think she sung 'I wonder why, are the seats still dry?' I thought the song was about a very scary space mission where it was common for people to wet their pants on their seats.
As a kid, I was rather obsessed with people peeing and pooing themselves, especially with fear.
When I first heard the song "Mi Vida Loca" by Pam Tillis, I was totally unprepared to understand the line that says "Destiny turns on a dime". For one thing, I'd known a girl named "Destiny" but wasn't familiar with "destiny" as just a common noun. As a WORD I had no idea what it meant. Secondly, I was totally unfimiliar with the phrase to "turn on a dime". The only way I could guess the meaning was that first, It was about a girl named "Destiny", and secondly the turning on a dime" was meant as if somehow a dime might have an on / off switch. But I puzzled greatly how one could "turn on" a dime in that since (as if it were a light or something). So the song left me wondering in what since a dime could possibly have been "off" so that this girl Destiny could then turn it "on".

I used to believe that the lyrics to Metallica's "Sad but True" actually said "Sad Patrol" and envisioned a cop-like patrol of people set out to spread sadness.
