when I was a kid I heard the Moody blues song ' Nights in White Satin' ..about the same time I must have heard or seen something about the Ku Klux clan and decided that that was what the song was about..' Knights in white satin sheets riding horses!!... For a long time I saw these posh white knights never reaching the end..!!

When I was about 6 or 7, I had an aunt who would sing Paul McCartny's song Band on the Run, but she would sing Man on the Gun, so I would copy her when I was with my friends and got teased so bad for being so dumb

Ok so, the Travis Tritt song "I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E" was a source of much confusion for me as a child. In the song he sings the title... and since I hadn't quite learned how to spell and had no concept of letters themselves, I heard "I smell pee all over you and me." ... I always wondered why I got in so much trouble for wetting my pants when grown men did it all the time ... hahaha

I have always liked the Four Seasons, and when I was a little girl, I thought that Frankie Valli was singing, "Big girls small fry." I used to picture girls going to McDonald's.

In the Labryrith(dunno spelling) David Bowie song 'Dance Magic',I thought the lines "Slap that baby,make it breathe!" were "Slap that baby,make it pee!".Oh what a laugh me and my friends have now.

In Dave Matthew's "Sattelite," the original line is "Winter's cold spring erases" but somehow, even though I was in college at the time, I convinced myself it was "Winter's Come, survey says..." No more Family Feud for me...

You know that oldies song that goes
"Come on peope now smile at your brother everybody get together try to love one another"

"Come people now smile your booger everybody get together try to love one another".
It was so funny hearing me sing it when I was little lol.

There is this bit in Up Where we belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warner which goes "standing here together". My friend Heather was singing it in front of a group of people and sang "Stanley's gone forever". When they all stopped and looked at her she said " I know, who the hell is Stanley!"

The first time I heard Jammin, by Marley, I was in a very fast car with the windows down. And I since I didn't know the name of the song, I thought that he was saying Vagina, when in fact he was saying Jammin'.

I hope you like vagina too.

When I first heard Justin Timberlake's song Rock Your Body, I thought that he said a bad word on the lyrics: I wanna f*ck your body.

When I first heard Culture Club, I thought the title of the song was: "Become a Comedian".

Heres our versions of some Bee Gees songs
1) More than a woman -Bald headed woman
2)Night Fever-nice beaver
and the line in Staying Alive, where they sing 'its alright, its okay.....
we sang 'Its alright, its okay, you make love the other way'

But my friend had us laughing when she misheard the lyrics to the spice girls '2 become 1' the bit that goes 'I had a little love, now I'm back for more' she sings ' I had a little dove, now he's splattered on the floor' mad or what?

John, Bolton

We used to sing our own version of 'Karma Chameleon' like this ' come on, come on, come on, come on be a comedian' and the line that goes 'I'm a man, without coviction' we would sing 'I'm a man, without conditioner'

Then two others we misheard were 'Bad moon rising' by creedence clearwater revival as 'theres a baboon on the right' instead of 'theres a bad moon on the rise' and 'Brimful of Asha' was sang by us as 'grim poodle basher on the 45'

When I first heard the Bon Jovi song You Give Love A Bad Name' i really believed they were singing 'Spatula Heart and your to blame, you give love to Batman'

Also our dad's version of the Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warnes song 'up where we belong' he sings 'No lift goes up where we belong' and he calls them 'Joe Cock up & Jennifer Wont'

Rob, Bootle

When Kate Bush first had a hit with the song 'Wuthering Heights' I and my sister then aged 8 & 10 actually thought the chorus went like this,

'Wee wee, its me, I'm a tree, I'm a wombat, so cold at the end of your winter'

And then we heard 'gypsies, tramps & thieves' by Cher, but thought she was singing 'Gipsy Chimpanzees'

I used to think the snowman in the song, "Winter Wonderland", was "parse and brown". ("In the meadow, we can build a snowman, and pretend that he is Parson Brown.") I didn't know what "parse" meant, nor understand why anyone would want to build a snowman from dirty snow.

Maybe i should have categorized this as a "rude bit", but its a misheard lyric after all.
I remember hearing Lenny Kravitz' "Dig In" for the first time. The chorus goes like this:

Once you dig in
You'll find it coming out the other side
And once you dig in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time

Im no pervert but i thought he sang "want your d*ck in" (you know the word, but not allowed to write it)... That makes the chorus go like this:

Want your d*ck in
You'll find it coming out the other side
Want your d*ck in
You'll find you'll have yourself a good time

I thought to my self: Lenny Kravitz isn't gay, is he?

Remember good old Scorpions with "Rock you like a hurricane"? I seriously thought the song was about a guy that was causing decay and making people rot, and then comparing himself with a furry crane:

Here i am!
Rot you like a furry crane!

Doesn't make much sense, does it? :)
