In the song Rudolf the Red Nosed ReindeerI used to believe there were more reindeer than I had been told about. You know, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Olive..
The line went "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names..." I used to think what a nasty reindeer Olive was and why did Santa keep her???
Rosey
In the song, "Deal," by Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), there's a line that goes, "Since you poured the wine for me, I've tightened up my shoes..." I used to think he said, "Since you told the wife on me..." Actually, I like think what I heard makes more sense...oh well...

My granparents used to play this Burl Ives tape of children's songs. One of my favorites was "The Donut Song" (watch the donut, not the hole...) I thought Burl was saying "knot" instead of "not". I imagined this little doughnut-person tying knots in a string to cover a hole in the sidewalk.

My 2 daughters thought the words were "two Pop Tarts" when they were actually "two of hearts", around 1990, by (I think) Tiffany.

back in the late 60's, my friend was singing along with Shelley Fabares' record "Johnny Angel", but she was seriously singing the words "Johnny's in jail, and I love him..."! We tried our best to convince her that's not how the song goes!

for my little sis -
Paul McCarty song "Band on the Run" but when she sang it it was "Man has the Runs"
in the offspring song "bad habit" they say "take him out" kind of muffled. my friends and i always used to think it sounded more like "drink your milk" and wrote a corresponding parody.

When my sister and I where young, we used to sing in the 'Imagination' song 'Just an Illusion': 'pudding in je bek', what is Dutch for 'pudding in your mouth' instead of 'could it be that'.

My sister and I used to sing a song "Little Liza Jane". To this day she claims it was "Little Eyes of Jade" because it was about a green eyed child.
We are now in our 70s and she is as adamant as ever, but we don't fight over it anymore.

My little sister, my mom and I were in the car one day listening to TLC's "Scrubs" and my sis and I were belting out the lyrics and mom decided to try and join us.... did you know that a SQUWIB is the kinda guy that won't get no love from her? He He

In the Roxy Music record, Lets stick together", I thought the words "consider our child" were consider "Rothschild". I couldn't understand why they were signing about wine

A while back, The Wallflowers had a popular song on the radio, it was called "One Headlight."
The (real) chorus goes: "But me and Cinderella, put it all together."
One day, while in the car with 4 of my friends, that song came on. I began to sing it at the top of my lungs. When the chorus came (and I was belting it out) my friends started hysterically laughing. They asked me to sing the chorus, and being the good sport that I am, I obliged. I sang, "The incinerator, put it all together." They actually had to pull the car over because they were laughing so hard! They never corrected me, instead they would ask me to sing it for whoever we knew. I thought that they were impressed by my singing voice.
Later, they told me the truth. They had allowed me to make a fool of myself for nearly a year! What's that old saying? "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"
My nephew used to sing Mary Chapin-Carpenters' "Passionate Kisses" as "Ashes and Fishes"
And I thought Elton John, in Bennie and the Jets, was saying "She's got electric boobs, I know it's true". :p

In Eminem's 'Cleaning Out My Closet' I heard...'before I had a monkey platinum selling CD' when the real lyrics are, 'before i ever had a MULTI platinum selling CD.' For the longest time I couldn't figure out what monkeys had to do with CD's.
