When my twin brother, my sister and I heard "Whoomp There It Is", we used to think it said "POOP, THERE IT IS!!!" so we'd go around everywhere, and start singing that at the top of our lungs when we heard it, cuz we thought it was the funniest thing in the world
"Whoomp there It Is"
My brother once came home from work having heard a song on the radio, telling me the lyrics were "walks like his pants are too tight", as opposed to "walk like a panther tonight".

When I was a young boy, my mother would sing the song "My bonnie lies over the ocean, my bonnie lies over the sea, bring back my bonnie to me." Well, I had never heard the word "bonnie" before, and when she sang "bonnie", I heard "body". To this day I have the image of a bloody, decapitated head sitting on a pier waiting for its body to come floating back across the ocean.

There was a popular song when I was little that had the line "Don't it make my brown eyes blue?" The singer had wonderful long hair and pretty blue eyes.
I had brown eyes and wanted bule eyes so bad. I thought the lyrics were "Donuts make my brown eyes blue." She was giving out beauty tips!! I ate lots and lots of donuts, as my waistline could confirm, but I still have brown eyes.

"Wella taco body, taco body, taco body, taco body...Taco-bot, taco-bot, taco-bot moovin"
OR
"Well-a talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it...Talk about, talk about, talk about moovin"
-Funkytown by Lips, Inc.
the original Taco-bot
In the song Blinded By the Light, I thought the words were "wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night". What does that mean?! I'm still not sure exactly what the words are along with a few other verses I can't make out all the words to.

Remember that song by Starship "We Built This City"? My sister and I used to believe that the actual lyrics were "we built this city on ROCKS AND COAL". The true words are "we built this city on ROCK AND ROLL". We still think our version made more sense from a construction perspective...

When I was about 5, I thought the lyrics to the song "Aquarius", by The 5th Dimension, said "Angels aquarium" instead of "Age of Aquarius"

I used to think that the lyrics for AC/DC's "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" were "Dirty deeds in the Dunder Jeep." I thought the "dunder jeep" was a cross between a jeep and a dune buggy, and pictured these people driving around in it committing crimes. I don't think I realized the proper lyrics until I was almost 20.

In Prince's song "I Would Die for You" I used to think he was singing "Apple Dapple do!"

When I was little, I heard the love song by KC, and Jojo. I thought it was a beautiful song, but it sure was weird. (partially because I didn't know what the hell they were talking about)
Instead of the phrase: "I promised Id never fall in love with a stranger." I heard it as:"He'd promised he'd never fall in love with his finger."
And instead of the phrase: "I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you"
I heard: "Kyle'll never find another lugger keener than Jew, keener than Jew."
Boy was a embarassed when I was assgined to sing it at a Valentine's Day party without the words backing me up.

When I first heard Aerosmith's "Just push play" I thought he said "I just turned gay" I was like, how did you just figure that out? lol
For years during my childhood (I'd have been between 8-12 ish) I thought the chorus line in J Geils Band's 'Centrefold' was 'My girlfriend is the centre forward'. Have a listen, it's not impossible to get wrong!

There used to be an Elvis Presley song called "Let Me Be there". It had a line "let me take you that wonderland where only two can share." I used to think he said "let me take you to that laundromat..." Hmm. a romantic date of doing laundry!!

The buckinghams song "kind of a drag", i always thought they were singing, "Canada Dry"

Another eighties hit that goes "I got my mind set on you..."
On the bus from kindergarten until third grade, whenever the song would come on the whole bus would sing ...SIT ON YOU" But it wasn't until I was 16 that I realized it wasn't really how it went...damn kids...
Instead of Money Money- the huge eighties hit, I to this day only hear "like a pony" and I have never known any of the other words.
