I once heard some lyrics from The Human League's best known song "Don't You Want Me" as "Swish your legs to find" instead of "It's much too late to find". Listening to that song today I still have trouble hearing the proper lyrics at that spot.

I also heard the first line to their later song "Soundtrack to a Generation" as "First melody can only be be that way" when it's "The smell of trees".

Yesterday I was in the cafeteria of my college campus. They were playing some kind of music video channel. They played this song that was in a foreign language. I know it didn't say this, but I heard the singers holler, "Rolaids" like three times and then sing a short phrase and then repeat the chorus. I thought that was hillarious, so I started making up words to the other part that went like this:
Rolaids, Rolaids, Rolaids, that's the way you spell relief.

I thought in the 90's when I was younger that in Beck's song "Loser" he was telling me different ways to kill myself.

A few years ago, when I met Sinatra's "LA is my lady", I thought he sang "I leave behind the father of myself", while the correct line is "I leave behind a part of myself". That may not make sense in English, but I'm Brazilian and my English was even poorer at that time.

In the song 'Don't leave me this way', Thelma Houston sings 'Baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you'. I used to think she sang 'Baby, my heart is revolving and to cipher you'.

When I was younger and my friends came over I wantd to act cool and know all the words to a song they liked soo when they played it and they were singing I would say the last word of every line and it would look like i was singing it

What is funny about this is that now when my other friend come over not the same one thought she does the same thing but she thinks i don't notice it but i do!! :p

For years and years I used to think that the song 'Creep' by Radiohead contained the lyrics 'I'm a creep, I'm a widow', rather than 'I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo'.

There's a folk song called "Bay of Fundy " by a singer called Gordon Bok.It's a sea song about how dreary and dangerous this bay in Canada is.There's a line about how thr singer would like to " spend his days on the Labrador" and never see old Fundys shore, as in the area of that name in Canada.I heard the song for the first time when I was about seven, and I was baffled.Tohe only "Labrador " I knew of was the dog ( Labrador ).So in honor of the song I drew a picture of a large black dog with a tiny person on its back and presented it to my mother.She looked really confused and asked me to explain.Annoyed, I said "you know, like the song". To clarify things for idiots, I added a balloon above the tiny person saying "I'm on the Labrador".Mom finally got it and started laughing like crazy.It took several years, and an Atlas, before I finally got the cause of the hilarity.Then I just felt embarrassed.

I thought that "toony" was a slang term for a part of your body of which you had two, as in the song "Ballin' the Jack" (First you put your toonies close up tight). (OUCH!)

I had a toy called Learn Through Music which had cartridges with pictures that would go into a toy with a touchscreen and buttons. The cartridges would be based on popular children's tv shows. My younger siblings would play with it for years. Now here's the belief!

The demo cartridge had samples of the Spongebob cartridge, one slide had him singing about what over, under, and through mean. Part of the lyrics (to the tune of Johnny Comes Marching Home) were:
"Under means go below below, below. Over means go above above, above."

I thought he was singing "underneath" and "overneath"! I knew that overneath wasn't a real word, I thought it was just part of Spongebob's usual silliness. I only realized my mistake in recent years!

I thought the lyrics for Lady Gaga's Poker Face was "Cutie pie, cutie pie" instead of "can't read my, can't read my"

I used to sang wrong in the song "Filhote do Filhote" by Rubinho do Vale, in the stretch "I live in a beautiful blue ball that floats through space", until last week I sang "I live in a beautiful blue house that floats through space".
