Has anyone ever misunderstood the words in songs or worse yet sung them out loud. I remember, for instance, when I was young I always thought the Stones Beast of Burden was actually saying "I'll never be your pizza burning" or Stevie Nicks White Winged Dove was actually "Just like the One Winged Dove". It's kind of funny when you realize your mistake especially when you sing it out loud crusing around with your friends.

I've done it a million times but my furthest memory goes way back when there was a song out called "Hooked on a Feeling." As a kid my parents tell me I would belt out "Hooked on a Ceiling."

I used to think they were saying "Carrying a laser down the road that I must travel...." instead of "Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel"

Kyrie by Mr. Mister

The song was Pour some sugar on me by Def Lepard he sang "Pour some shook up Ramen"

I still think in Stairway to Heaven he says "If there's a wiiiiino down the road!"

Reminds me of a friend's interpretation of some missy elliot song where she says "Take that flip it and reverse it" in reverse...A friend tried to convince me that she says "Is your friends pus__ wet yet?" I said yeah just to end the conversation, what a dolt....

My wife thought it was "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Kings"
