In Harry Conick Jr's song "I just whisper your name" my cousin thought he said: "I just whisper Germaine"
She found it very strange that the song mentioned her uncle's name

In The Creed Song "What This life For" My Dad thought "we all live under the reign of one king" was "we all live under the reign of monkey".

There is a song by Hootie and the blowfish that goes something like: "let her cry, let her walk right out on me, let her see," then went on to say "let her go,and if the sun comes up tomorrow let her be." I thought that this was just a different version of the alphabet, and that it really went: "letter I, letter walked out on me, letter C,... letter O, and and if the bun is filled with sorrow, letter B" Made perfect sense to a six year old child!

"Pressure" by Billy Joel
He said "Sesame Street, what does it mean?" but I misheard it as "Sex in the streets, what does it mean?"

When I was really little I was afriad of this song it use to scare me everytime it came on. It was called "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright.
This is the my version
Ohh James Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night.
The original version.
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night

In Sade's song Smooth Operator, I used to think she was saying, " OOOh pop a red eye."

When I was young, I thought that in "Chapel Of Love" by The Dixie Cups they said "Going to the jack-a-lantern, Gonna to get married" instead of "Going to the chapel, And we're gonna get married".
I used to think it was a hallowe'en song, and wondered why I never heard it on October 31st.

I used to believe that the Muse song Time Is Running Out said,
You'll buy me on the tenth of May.
The actual lyrics are
You will be the death of me.
Sang it to Matt Bellamy once.
He didn't hear me. :(

My friend Melanie was convinced that the lyrics to Scar Tissue by the Chili Peppers, instead of "With the birds we share this lonely view", was "at bubba's shed there's a lovely view".

top belief!
In Benny and the Jets by Elton John, I always thought the line 'He's got eletric boots and a mohair suit' was 'She's got electric boobs and her mom has, too.' As a kid, I kept wondering what electric boobs could possibly look like, and what kind of sad genetic defect it was that could affect a whole family. The REALLY funny thing is that without really talking about it, my sister misinterpreted the same line the same way. What a warped family I come from

When I was in 7th grade, a boy i liked would visit his relatives in Georgia. I thought it was really funny when Frankie Valli's song came out "Mike's in Georgia" (though it was really "My eyes adored You"!)

The Elvis song Viva Las Vegas I used to think it said "people love bagels" and i used to think that song secret agent man was secret Asian man. I pictured a Chinese guy hiding under a bed somewhere. Also that one song 60s song that goes "you were my first love" still sounds like "you are my fish line"

When my daughter heard the 70's hit, "Drift Away", she thought they were saying, "Give me the Beach Boys & free my soul..." instead of "Give me the Beat Boys"!
when i was little, (i forgot what song it was) when he says "with arms wide open" i thought he said "with all this fried-okra" my mom burst out laughing when i told her that.

In the song "Every Breath You Take" by the Police, I always thought the line - "How my poor heart aches" was "I'm a pool hall ace"

My brother used to think the line, "I'll never be your beast of burden" in the Rolling Stone's song "Beast of Burden" was sung:
"I'll never be a pizza burnin'...."

My brother recently told me that he thought that in "Wind Beneath My Wings" the lyrics "I can fly higher than an eagle" were "I can fly higher than any gull", as in a seagull...I think the fact that he grew up amongst avid fisherman had something to do with this...
My friend Jenn just admitted that she thought the Cher song "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" was Gypsies, Chimpanzees.
still laughing
In the song "Dream a little dream of me", there's a line that goes, "birds singing in the sycamore trees, dream a little dream of me"... My roommate and I were listening to this song last night and I asked her if she knew what a sycamore tree was, and she told me that I misheard the lyrics and that line actually went: "birds singing in the sake of more trees"....
Well, I was quite convinced by her that it was me who misheard the lyrics, ha!
I thought the lyrics to the Bee Gees song 'how deep is your love' that went...
and you come to me on a summer's breeze
was....
and you come to me on a submarine!
Well it is about how deep is your love!!!
