When I was about 7 years old, i used to mis-sing the words to Grease Lightning, from the movie Grease. instead of singing "Go grease Lightning, your burning up a quarter-MILE." I used to sing, "Go Grease Lightning, you burning up a quarter-DIME!!"

In Beyonce's song "Single Ladies" are the lines:

"I need no permission, did I mention?
Don't pay him any attention."

For a long time I thought those lines said:

"I need no permission, did I mention?
Duct tape 'em many attentions."

I used to love Elvis when I was a kid and I only realised last week that the words are actually "hard-headed woman been a thorn in the side of man... Ever since the world began", not, as I used to sing very loudly, "hard-headed woman with a hole in the side of her head... Ever since the waffle began."

Until I was about 16, I though Huey Lewis's "The Heart of Rock and Roll" said "The OBOE may be barely breathing" as opposed to "old boy." I still hear oboe when I listen to it.

A friend of mine, when we were in our early teens, used to like the Beatles song "Paperback Writer". She would sing it at the top of her voice, but when she got to the chorus she would sing "Take her back right now, right now, right now!"

My friend's little sister though that the line from Ace of Base's song, "All that she wants is another baby, she's going tomorrow" was "All get your watch, it's another baby. She's going to borrow it"

when i first heard this song i thought the chorus actually went;

I used to think the song "Hurting Each Other" by the Carpenters referred to a local TV show--especially when they sang "Can't we stop, dialing for dollars;"

On Michael Jackson's Billie Jean song... I thought he sang "Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who says that I am the one... but the GIRL is not my son." And I was always thinking how can a girl be a son anyway?

I always thought that in the Ataris' version of Boys of Summer, he said," I can see you, your pants can shine in the sun, you got your head torn back and the side-wrestling's on, baby". (whatever the heck that meant).
Original: "I can see you, you're brown skin shining in the sun, you got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby."
