i was viciously mocked throughout my childhood by my brother and sisters when they found out that i was convinced that 'Unchained Melody' contained the lyrics "I fumble for your torch" instead of "i hunger for your touch". I perhaps shouldnt have argued but IT MADE SENSE.

I used to believe that Madonna's Papa don't preach was pop-a-long priest

I used to think the Neil Diamond song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually him singing about The Reverend Blue Jeans and I assumed it was about a man of the cloth being cool and appealing to the younger generation. Only realised the real song title and lyrics a few years ago. My dad and I prefer my version and always change the song as we sing along.

I used to think that bout a couple years ago the song by matchbox 20 " its 3am I must be lonely" said "its 3 am I must be horny" lol

Daniel Benvin

not my belief, but my college roomate thought "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun" was "all ten versions of a pelican"-always found that amusing.

I thought that the lyrics for 'Tequila' by Terrorvision were actually 'I want to kill her, it makes me happy..' and I preferred the song when I thought that! I was in my twenties though, so does this count?

Don't actually know the name of the song - but the lyrics "wide eyed and legless" escaped me for years. I though the guy was singing "my diamond necklace" for years before I realised my mistake!

I used to beleive the lyrics to outcast's miss jackson went "Im sorry miss Jackson, I never meant to make your doctor cry" (it is actually "I never ment to make your daughter cry")

I used to think the lyrics to "Venus" were "I'm your fidas, I'm your fire, and George 'n sire" instead of the actual lyrics which are "I'm your Venus, I'm you fire, at your desire."

in the song 'Push It' by Salt & Peppa, when they sang "p push it real good"i used to think it went "poor pussy realgood", and so i hated it, cos i thought it was about someone being horrible to a cat named Realgood. i still sing it my way though.

I remember asking my mother why Madonna was singing about being like a line down the side of a page... Virginity was not the easiest concept for my mum to explain to a 5 year old.

Even so, it still didn't rival my favourite song 'Get that hornet'.

My ex-wife would sing the Eagle's song: Life in the fast lane... However, her version of that catchy tune was: Fightin' in the pass-lane.

my daughter was singing robbie williams
feel when it came to the bit i've got to much life running through my veins she was singing i've got too much blood running through my veins at the top off her voice

my brother used to think that the lyric's to POD's song "youth of a nation" went "we are we are, use your imagination". I laughed so hard when i heard him singing that!!
