I really did believe Elton john was singing 'someone shaved my wife tonight' and was mortified years later to find it was actually 'someone saved my life tonight'
The lyrics "I believe in miracles" I thought were "I believe in Milko". I couldn't understand why a man would be singing about his milkman especially when in the next line he talks about him being a sexy thing. I know my milkman was not anything to sing about.
In the Who's song 'Who Are You,' I thought the line was 'I remember throwing budgies around' instead of 'I remember throwing punches around.' For many years I always imagined Roger Daltrey throwing small pet birds around the recording studio.

As an elementary school child I believed that in "Winter Wonder Land" they perspired instead of conspired by the fire.
Until I was about 18 I thought that the lyrics to Madonnas 'Erotic' were,
'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body.'
He was on childrens television a lot at the time.

I thought Aerosmith's 'Love in an Elevator' was 'Loving a man like Victor'.

When I first heard Bruce Springsteen's song, "Born in the USA," I thought that the song was "Porn in the USA"

My Ex-wife when she was little used to believe that the name of the song was "Only Baloney" instead of " Only The Lonely."
You know that song that goes "When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie, it's amore"? well, i used to think he was saying "it's a Moray", and it made no sense to me until i discovered that AMORE is "love" in Italian! lol
i used to think that the guy singing "smack my bi*ch up" by prodigy was yelling "take my picture" and i always wondered why he was so angry about that.
My best friend used to be convinced that the song "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" was actually "I Wish I Was A Prawn Cracker"
In "YMCA" my friend used to believe that the line "Young man!" was actually "Gonads!". Her brother never bothered to correct her...
While singing Christmas carols as a child, I was confused by "Angels We Have Heard on High." Instead of "in excelsis Deo," I thought it was "in Aunt Chelsea's stable."
I used to believe that in the Hot Chocolate song "You Sexy Thing", the lead singer was singing "I believe in wackos" instead of "I believe in miracles".
In the Band Aid song I always thought that it went 'Beaver, woah, do they know it's christmas...' not 'feed the world, do they know it's christmas'.
When I was younger & listening to Madonna's 'Material Girl' on the radio, my little sister decided one day to sing along. Of course it wasn't till after the song ended that I realized what she was saying: "Cuz I'm li-ving, in a Cheerio World, and I'm a Cheerio girl!" --Today we still laugh our butts off about it as adults!
My brother believed that Michael Jackson's song 'Billy Jean' contained the words, 'Don't go around breaking young girls' arms'!! (It was supposed to be 'hearts'!)
For the longest time I thought that in Bruce Springsteen's song, "I'm on fire', where he says "Ooooh....I'm on fire", I was sure he was saying "Ooooh....I might fart".
Oh Irah-ah-ahn ... Iran's so far away ...
Yah you know that song by the Flock of Seagulls? Eheh, yah. Being the geographically smart kid that I have always been, I figured that was what it said. Jeez I'm stupid sometimes.
I used to sing at the top of my voice "OLD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"
