My mum is as daft as anything because she makes us all laugh by singing her version of Madonna's 'Music' as "Hey mr dj put the kettle on"
And a friend of ours always referred to 'Don't look back in anger' by Oasis as 'the sally song'
as kids we used to believe that the song by shakin stevens and bonnie tyler was 'a f***ing good way' instead of a rockin good way.
other songs with misheard lyrics by shaky were
'give me your fart tonight'
a love worth way-ting for'
you dwive me cwazy'
oh goolie'
and finally where he sings 'I saw an eyeball peeping through a smoky cloud behind the green door' we would sing'I saw an A**ehole peeping through a smoky cloud.....no, we were NOT shakin stevens fans
My neighbour's 8 year-old son loves the song "Farmer and the Cowman" from R & H's Oklahoma! - he sings along loudly: "Territory folks should sleep together, territory folks should all be friends."
Words should be "Territory folks should stick together", etc.
Well, after going to a karaokee bar and realizing what the real words were, I feel really stupid. I thought that the part in Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me", you know the bottle part...oh I didn't know it was about a bottle. I thought it went: "Think about it, shake it up. Break the past of love, break it up!"

I used to think that he said, "Fart on me," it that song. I don't know which song it is, but he's really saying, "Falls on me."
I thought that in the song "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child, the lyrics were "The club is for the ballers and their cock is full grown" when it really was "they pocket's full grown" It sounded so much like it, just listen to the song!
I reccently discovered both to my embarrassment and relief that Akon's "I wanna love you" is not "I wanna f*ck you" I thought that that was a horrible name for a song.
I used to believe that the chorus to boys of summer were "I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the poison enters my body", cute as a kid, however I did not realize my mistake until it was remade and I was caught shouting it in my mid twenties
There is a Christmas song that goes "Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas day..." But I always thought that it was saying "Where is Pork Chop? Jesus Christ! He was born on Christmas day..." I thought they were actually talking about the character Lamb chop but had just gotten his name wrong....I used to sing it that way too! O_O

my 2 year old son used to sing 'OH MUM FUM" IT IS TO RIDE IN A 1 HORSE OPEN SLEIGH, instead of oh what fun. it was adorable
In Elton John's song Philadelphia Freedom I thought he said "Philadelphia feedom took me knee-high to a man, gave me a piece of momma, daddy never had. I thought the song was sick. Recently I found out it was "gave me a piece of mind, Daddy never had." I think. He makes mind a two syllable word.
Until recently, i used to beliveve that the chorus in "Freewill" by Rush went - "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. You can choose from Phantom Fears and Kindness that can kill. I will choose a bad ass career, I will choose freewill"
I know know that " Bad Ass Career" should be " Path that's clear"

I used to think that the song Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours was Sky's still the limit oh yeah! but, my sister corrected me.

I thought that the song Taste Of Ink by The Used was "Here I am, Its in my head" but it was really: "Here I am, it's in my hands."
:S
There is this old Alan Jackson song called "Chasin' that Neon Rainbow". When I was little, I pictured someone chasing a knee into a rainbow.
Since I was 7, 28 years ago, I've been a big Elvis fan. At age 10 I got hold of the Roustabout soundtrack album, and upon hearing the sopng "Poison Ivy League" for the first time, I swore he sang "How can they f**k"...a few years later I realized it was actually "how can they flunk". Thank goodness I never sang that in front of my parents!

i used to think the words to the now familiar csi:miami's "won't get fooled again" theme song was: "we don't get food or game".
I used to believe that the lyrics in Manic Monday said "All of my life why did my mother have to kidnap Sacha Distel".
It was only while doing karaoke in the pub one night that I discovered the true lyrics were "All of the nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down."
I now believe my lyrics are better.
I knew someone who thought the words to the Joni Mitchell song were "paid a pair of guys to put up a parking lot" , rather than "paved paradise..."
