Similarly I thought the chorus of the 1970s song "Haven't stopped dancing yet" went "I haven't stopped dancing yet, since we met on a Thursday". It's actually "I haven't stopped dancing yet, since we met on our first date".

This thread is hilarious and has made me realise I’m singing quite a few songs wrong

Oh wow. I’ve been living a lie.
"I remove umbilicals!"Showing my age again. Errol Brown's You Sexy Thing: "I believe in miracles" is NOT what I sing. Genuinely thought it was a cute song about cows: "I believe in moo cows"
I can't unhear this now!
Robbie Williams Rock DJ I used to sing 'Houston do you hear me brother joe can you feel me' Instead of 'Houston do you hear me ground control can you feel me'
Not really misunderstood but when my friend pointed this out I can't unhear it.
Jason Derulo want to want me
"It's too hot to sleep
I got the sheets on the floor" actually sounds like
"It's too hot to sleep
I got the shits on the floor"

Oh where do I start?!
ABBA - 'only seven teeth' instead of only seventeen. (Me)
Bee Gees - 'bald headed woman' instead of more than a woman. (Co worker)
Europe - 'we're headed for penis' instead of we're headed for Venus. (Friend)
Adele - 'uber hazard' instead of rumour has it. (My bloody dad!)

No lie by Sean Paul- ‘gonna be lit tonight’ but I thought it was ‘gonna be lips and eyes’
For so long I thought it said "like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay you down"... instead of 'I will lay me down'. Completely changed the tone of the song!
I also thought for years that it was...
Don't cry for me Argentina.
The truth is I never loved you
Don't cry for me Argentina.
The truth is I never loved you
Is it not?I also thought for years that it was...

Like a virgin “like a fir tree”
my daughter and her friends used to sing “tigers hive” instead of “tide is high”
also my daughter “she’s into superstition, black cats and poodle dogs” instead of ”voodoo dolls”

dies of shame. I’m in my mid forties and still thought it was “passenger hold tight!” Like you’re in a speeding vehicleHai Si Ja is the word ‘yes’ in 3 different languages (hai-Japanese, si-Spanish, ja-German). The whole point of the song is celebrating different cultures. Tell your boyfriend to give his head a wobble
Oh my god, same here!Robbie Williams Rock DJ I used to sing 'Houston do you hear me brother joe can you feel me' Instead of 'Houston do you hear me ground control can you feel me'
When that Elton John singing in his garden video went viral my husband said "Well, he's never been clear to me anyway I thought he was singing "I'm Still Standing.... Better Than An Elephant" until I saw the subtitles on vh1 when I was about 19"
It's a shame when it happens to someone you love, isn't it?
