My sister likes to listen to Lionel Ritchie music and , well, the song,"Dancing on the cieling" I thought he was singing,"Oh what a feeling,when she's dancing on my penis"
pick of the bunch
I have always had a problem with hearing lyrics incorrectly. I was convinced that Janet Jackson's "escapade" was about the Ice-capades
My family used to listen to Broadway show tunes records. A favorite when I was about 6 years old was "West Side Story".
In the song "America", the Puerto Rican boys and girls argue about whether life in America is great, or not. I always believed that once I was older, I'd find out who "Morris Amalfi" was and why it mattered that he was in America:
"I like to be in America, Okay by me in America, Everything free in America, Morris Amalfi in America!"
The correct line, of course, is "For a small fee in America".

I beleved that the lyrics to mr. mister song Kyrie was "Carry a laser down the road that i must travel.
For nearly 40 years I thought the 1st 2 lines to "Love Potion #9" were "I took my troubles down to Madam Roux; You know that Gypsy with the gold tatoo". Yesterday I found out it's "Madam Ruth" and "gold-capped tooth".
In the song by Anistaia i think it is called lie or why did u lie to me...anyway the last lie of the chorus sounds like Why did u lie to me you good for mothing chuklebrother!!! i know that cant be right but i cant for the life of me figure out what it says.

I used to believe…
That the lyrics to "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" were actually "dirty deeds thunder chiefs"
Mates wife: Constant craving by KD Lang - she thought it was Can't Stand Gravy...(sorry Sarah)
Ex g/friend: Jet by Wings was actually called - Chair!
Me (although I realised it HAD to be wrong) - Meatloaf, Bat Out of Hell "on a silver black phantom bike - was "I'm a Cilla Black fan on bike.."
pick of the bunch
I thought the song lyric "Till death to his part" was actually "To get to his pond." My sisters never stopped bothering me about that.
I used to believe…
an ex boyfriend used to believe that the lyrics to Nirvana's All Apologies went "choking on the ashes of an orangutang" instead of "choking on the ashes of her enemy". every time i hear that song i wonder what was going through his head at the time. bless him.
I used to think that the lyrics to the last line of "Row, Row, Row your Boat" was "Life, a spot, a dream." I never could figure it out until my mom told me.
I thought Glen Fry's song Boys of Summer, was actually Poison Summer.
My friend thought Sittin on the dock of the Bay, by Otis Redding actually said, Sittin on the top of the bed.
I used to believe…
years ago my friends brother, (who was about 7) thought the lyrics to "pump up the volume" were "pump up the barbyoo". Go figure.
My sister-in-law misunderstood the 80's song Electric Avenue. Actual was "..we're gonna rock on through Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher." She heard, "We're gonna rock on to electro-tary Newt..."
Heart's These dreams instead of "perfume on my wrist" I thought they were singing "perfume on my lips".
When my Mum was a little girl, she was convinced that a certain Christmas carol went: "Good King Wensus last looked out..."
Most obvious twisted lyric in my opinion has to be the chorus of The Police's "So Lonely", which sounds like they're chanting the name of Sue Lawley, one time BBC newsreader and Nationwide presenter.
If anyone really wants to get some lyric seriously wrong, try listening to the early albums of IQ without the lyric sheets. I did this with a friend, and we tried to work them out. About two years later, we finally got access to the words, and found out that we'd only been about 50% accurate. It still makes life a bit difficult trying to sing along at their gigs!
I use to think in the Bee Gees song they sang "Living in a world of food" instead of fools.
I used to believe…
song-more than a woman
REAL LYRiCS: "more than a woman.. more than a woman to me"
MiSHEARD LYRiCS- waLk LiKe a woman.. waLk LiKe a woman to me!
i discovered that i was singing the words wrong two years ago.. i was outside with my mom and the song was stuck in my head and so i sang it out LoUd(screaming) and my mom couLdn't stop LauGhing.. and she toLd me..
My friend started singing "two 10 o'clock girls go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.." to eminem's Without Me instead of "two trailer-park girls.."
I never quite figured out what a "10 o'clock girl" was
I thought in Angie Martinez's "If I can Go !", her background singer at the end is saying, "If I can go... to home depot"... instead of If I can go, con tigo (with you). And I thought why these people want to fly to go to home depot.
