From the very first time back in the 90s, I misheard one of the lines from Danzig's "Mother" as

"What about UCLA?"

instead of "Not about to see your light".

Today, "Mother" came up on the radio while my BFF and I were riding in her car. I told her how I misheard it. She could not hear "What about UCLA?" at all. I still can hear nothing other than "What about UCLA?" instead of the right lyrics!!! ;D

I’m just now watching the first season of “This is Us”.  In one episode Katie sings a beautiful rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”.

I’m not even going into it, but holy moly was I shocked to hear the lyrics fully enunciated for the first time.
There’s no mention of plush bathes, and that was just the first major shock.

I misheard a line in Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats".

I misheard "carved my name into his leather seats"

as

"carved my name into his limousine".

But since a limousine is a type of car, I did not pay it a second thought. Took me a while to find the right lyrics.

The Chiffons had a song called One Fine Day. I used to mishear "One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl" as "for your first" and think "Um, you said he's 'the kind of boy who only wants to run around.' So that ship has probably already sailed, honey...." Oops  ;D

Tayler Swift's "Blank Space"

A lot of people heard the line as "Starbucks lovers"

My DDs told me, when the song first came out, that it was "Star crossed lovers"

If you haven't heard the song before or don't know the true lyrics, please let me know what you thought the words were (it's in the chorus, repeated several times) before scrolling down for the answer.

I just looked up the lyrics (to make sure I got the title correct) and I guess everybody was wrong!

Then I watched the video with the real words in mind. Very strange that I heard any of the other words. Once it was clear what the real words are, I can't hear anything else! WOW!

The real words? "Got a long list of ex-lovers"

Deacon Blues:

They call Alabama the Prince of Tides. Call me Deacon Blue.

 :-[ Chalk another one up for this very day.  I just now realized it's "Alabama, The Crimson Tide".

KC and the Sunshine Band, My Boogie Shoes:

I’ve been singing this since I was quite small as:

Girl from me to you you’re my favorite thing.
I can’t wait tonight to see you again.

Instead of:

Girl to be with you is my favorite thing.
I can’t wait til I can see you again.

Background info: Back when I was a teenager, there was a commercial for Dijonnaise featuring some jingle where they sang "Dijonnaise".

Well, one day I heard a song played somewhere to the tune of the Dijonnaise jingle. I heard it as "Goodbye Girl". I thought "so that's where they got the Dijonnaise melody from"- and never paid it another thought. This was back in the 90s.

Well, I must have seen Dijonnaise recently in a supermarket- and quickly remembered the commercial. I looked up the "Goodbye Girl" lyrics- but could not find anything remotely resembling the Dijonnaise song.

So I looked up "Dijonnaise song"- and it turns out that the song it is based on actually says "Duke of Earl"!!!!!!!

I was a teenager when the commercial came out and when I misheard the original song. I am in my 40s now! Sure sure, English is my second language- but it is still a stretch to hear "Goodbye Girl" from "Duke of Earl"!!!

Local DJ's once had to get on the air and ask parents to stop their small children from calling the station to request "Hooked on the Ceiling".  It was actually B.J. Thomas' "Hooked on a Feeling".

My dad always thought the AC/DC song was "Dirty deeds and the thunder chief."  :)

We were on the way to church and Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood ended and the DJ did a bit of commentary. DH asked what he said and I said, "I wasn't listening closely. Something about how controversial it was in the 80s." DH was confused about why it was controversial and I said, "Because it says...." He said, "No, it's when you want to call."

I didn't clear it up for him because a. I was laughing too hard and b. we were on the way to church.

When I was a kid, we were listening to music at school one day.  "My Eyes Adored You" by Frankie Valli was on, and a friend of mine came up to me and said "Did you hear that? He said that when they first started, she was fifteen and he was only six!" 

After having a good laugh, I explained that the words were "You were fifth grade, I was sixth."

Years later, another friend said that when she first heard the song, and for a while after, she was convinced that he was singing "Liza Dora".
