Sacrifice by Elton John. My sister and I both thought the lyrics were 'cocoa hot, was done by you'. Its actually 'cold cold heart, hard done by you'.

We just thought he was reminiscing about the time he used to get hot cocoa made for him. We both found out at the exact same time only last year that we'd been singing it wrong all these years.

Only fools and horses theme - I thought it was 'we've got some half price crap ties ' but it's cracked ice when I read the lyrics the YouTube comments are full of people saying how they had been getting the words wrong.

The Kooks "Naive" was always sang
as "I know, she knows, i'm not from
Alaska" - turns out it was "I know, she knows,
i'm not fond of asking!" which makes a lot
more sense!

Charlie Puth - Attention

I thought it said: You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round throwin' that TURTLE ON MY KNEE.

We listened to Eminem in the car once and my son said: why does he sing 'poke me in the eyeball'

A few years back there was a very popular song which was constantly being played on the radio.
I was minding my friend's little boy one night (he was 3 at the time) and he kept asking me to 'put on the dragon song'
I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
A phone call to his Mum revealed the song to be Maroon 5 'Moves like Jagger', and not 'Move that dragon'.

Thong Song by Sisqo. There’s a part where he sings “I like it when the beat goes...” and I always thought he was saying “I like your little billy goat.” fs. I still sing it like that.

My mum used to think the lyric to Bohemian Rhapsody was, “spare him his life from these pork sausages!”

I also used to think Celine Dion sang “the hot dogs go on and on.”

Kylie - can’t get you out of my head, “there’s a dark secret in me”

I thought it was “there’s a dog, see red in me”

Not mine, but this girl on tik tok was singing “Rockwell - Somebody’s watching me” and she sang it “I’m on a speedboat, somebody’s watching me”

Instead of “I always feel like, somebody’s watching me” and whenever I listen to it I can’t stop hearing it how she said it
