Instead of the Go Go's saying "Our lips are sealed" I thought they were saying "Honest, Lucille."

“Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”
Turns out is actually deuce.

For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went '"doncha know that I love you", but it turns out, they say "l'm lovin' you".

I used to sing Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong as “Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids can’t be wrong”.
Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said “rises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengeti”. The real lyric is “Olympus”.

I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was "strong beliefs", and not a medical term

Hoobastank, the Reason.
Real lyric: "a reason to start over new".
What i heard as a child: "the reason tostadas are new"

"Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
It was Thunder Chief for me. I figured he must be bad juju.

Someone like you...That's it. I still can't hear "use" even though I now know it's the name of the song.

With Little Miss Can't Be Wrong I used to hear "ain't nobody gonna come when your sound is gone" instead of "when you sound your gong".

I was a huge blink182 fan back in 99-02. I didn't understand what the prank in that prank call was. It wasn't until much much later that I started going through their albums again that I realized what Mark was actually saying. Looked up the lyrics and my jaw hit the floor. I remember sitting in front of my computer laughing until I was sweating at not only how that's a legit good prank call but I'd been singing it wrong for the better part to two decades.

At one point in Another One Bites the Dust, Freddie says "Bite the dust, yeah" which for years I could not hear as anything but "I'm adopted". Seemed like a weird way to share that information.
