A very god friend of mine used to sing "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be staling. Instead of "when the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing. We were coming down the highway, 3 of us and she is shouting at the top of her lungs with the radio blaring singing the wrong word. My other friend and I died laughing

still laughing

On "Bad Moon Rising" by John Fogerty:
I thought the lyrics:
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

sounded like:
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
Oh now, we're sinkin' fore and aft.

They used to play this song at the swimming pool where I hung out as a kid, so it was hard to hear over the splashing and hollering.

my mum told me i had an obsession with what i called "the zop song" - it took them a while until they realised i wanted to listen to a song that goes "'cause opposites attract".

I thought that the song "Wishful Thinking" by Go West (?) went "I'm the king, I wish for Vicky" .. I used to think that Vicky was a lucky girl, getting wishes from the King. Then I realised he was actually singing "I'm the King of Wishful Thinking". Yeah, clever, aren't I?

i used to believe that the song staying alive went sell it high

My brother use to think that "Shameless" by Garth Brooks use to go ~I'm Shaving~ instead of the right lyrics going ~I'm Shameless~ he didn't figure out what he was saying until he was 15

When I was little I loved that show Fraggle Rock..and at the end of the theme song, on of the Fraggle's says, "Down at Fraggle Rock!" And little me thought it was "Damn it Fraggle Rock!" Yeah...I got in trouble for that one...

Until recently,I thought that the following line in Carly Simon's "you're so vain" went "I had some dreams,there were clowns in my coffee, clowns in my coffee." It was really "i had some dreams. They were clouds in my coffee,clouds in my coffee.

In the song 'Back to Life' by Soul to Soul I thought it was "I dont wanna be a woman, I wanna be an earwig" When in fact the lyrics where "However do you want me, however do you need me" I was only about 7!
