one of my friends favorite songs was "hips dont lie" by shakira. one day we were at work and we were listening to it. and she starts belting "OHHHHHHH, DONT YA KNOW - MY HIPS DONT LIE.." instead of "im on tonight - my hips dont lie.." she still thinks its her way.
Summer of 1972...the song is "Too Late To Turn Back Now' by The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose.
In the bridge of the song, one "brother" sings the most convoluded lyric in the world...
He sings and my sister and both heard him warble this: "I wouldn't mind da if I nooped do really love me doo".
The advent of PCs and the Interent and posting of lyrics revealed that said brother was actually singing, "I wouldn't mind it, if I knew she really loved me too".
Well maybe, but this one Cornelius brother did it with marbles and mayonaise in his mouth.
Also in the oringal early 60
s son "Last Kiss", listen for the part where the soprano singing in the background goes flat and her voice falls and trails off.
After the lyrics..."that I heard last"..
And they actually left that in the master recording.
Hilarious. .

In Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable' I thought she said 'In the closet that's my stuff. Yes sir i just farted, please dont touch.'
I used to believe that "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot said "I like big butts in a can..." Always wondered how anyone could get their butt in a can... Then the line "When a girl walks in with a really big bin" helped me make the connection that those "cans" were really trash cans, aka garbage BINS. So I envisioned that Sir Mix-a-Lot liked girls who walked around with trash cans on their butts...

In 1976, aged 11, I misheard the title of Gallagher and Lyle's big British hit 'Heart On My Sleeve' - I thought it was called 'Hat On The Street'!
My Mom, whose hearing isn't so great, thought for the longest time Elton John's song "Too Low for Zero" was "True Love for Vera" until Dad corrected her. I like Mom's version better.

I thought that Radiohead's "Creep" contained the lyrics, "I'm a tree, I'm a willow" instead of, "I'm a creep, I'm a willow."
When me and my friend were in kindergarten, we used to sing this rhyme "hey who's that it's a missippi cat M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I". Only we heard it as "M-I-S-S-I-S-S-S-P-P-I". Well, we got into a whole fight about it with our dads, until around three months ago- I'm fourteen now- that our dads were right. I still won't admit it, though...
There's a lyric in the U2 song "Bullet The Blue Sky" that goes "I can see those fighter planes." My dad thought it was "I can see those spider fangs."
We'll never let him live that one down.

I used to think the lyrics to Invisible Touch were "She seems to have a fizzy bottle top, yeah!" In fact, I *still* sing it that way... hehe. :)
I used to think Britneys line was Shit on me baby one more time!! He,he,he,he!
When I was about 5 or 6, I used to believe that song that goes, "ain't no stopping us now" used to say, "Angel's stuck in the snow." I'm 14 and much smarter!
once when i was little i herd the song that went "i'm coming up so you better get this f**king stared" and so on, and once i yelled from the basment to the 2nd floor to my little bro "I'M COMING UP SO YOU BETTER GET THIS F**KING STARTED", like normal, i got a meaning 4 the phrase
I used to believe…
"stefa raab" a famous german entertainer once said, that he believed for year the song "Every Time You Go Away" by Paul Young, says "Every time you go away you take a piece of MEAT with you" (i realy says "Every time you go away you take a piece of ME with you") - i laughed so hard, i couldn't breath...
Boy do I feel stoopid...
Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back...
Annoying as hell... yet somewhat catchy...
Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I'm your slave.
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave.
It's just that no one makes me feel this way.
Go head be gone wit it...
I sang it something like this
Dirty babe...
You see these shackles baby I'm insane
I'll let you in me if I misbehave
I't just that Nor makes me feel this way...
Go head get down wit it.
I got visuals of a man being held in a cell with chains because he was crazy before letting someone in him. As far as the Nor part goes... don't know WHERE that came from...
These aren't nessicarily mine but...
My mom has this song, 'Mas tecila' or something like that, and after a while my brother started singing it. Only he sang, 'mas tequitos'. I thought the same song was, 'Mashed potatoes'. Opps...
Also my boyfriend's brother was singing a song one day that's called something like, 'Snake bite en-ter my ve-i-ns', but he was singing, 'Snape (like in harry potter) bite into my rad-i-a-tor.'
We all have hearing problems.
I used to think that the song "inside out" by eve 6 and "i am the walrus" by the beatles were the same song. i realize now how incredibly different both songs and bands are.
I thought that in the song "Last night i had the strangest dream" that swords and guns and UNICORNS were scattered on the ground. this made perfect sense because unicorns have sharp horns which could be used as weapons!
My sister used to think that the words to Manfred Mann's song 'Doo Wah Diddy' were 'I'm hurt, she's mad...' instead of 'I'm hers, she's mine...'
A 1980s commercial about rail travel had a song that went 'This is the age of the train' and I thought it was 'This is the edge of the train'
