im sure many of you have done it! you think certain lyrics sound like one thing but they are saying something different? probably happens more when you were younger,  example

Journey : i used to sing "dont stop...breathin" (this may get me shot lol)

I love the song but butcher it all the time

Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend wanna wish it all away
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughtta leave her calm, I know
I said I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
Oh yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don't wave
I see them
'Round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry

For whatever reason for the longest time whenever I heard "Africa" by Toto, I always thought that it was...

"I miss the rains down in Africa."

When in reality it's actually...

"I bless the rains down in Africa."

However, I swear I still hear it at times as "I miss the rains down in Africa."

Ever since I was a kid, I thought it was “she’s so frenchy, eh” in Games Without Frontiers. Which, admittedly, makes no sense what so ever. Turns out years later when I look it up, “Jeux sans frontières”. I wasn’t even in the same language.

Hey, oh

Sheets of empty canvas

Untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me

 

Listen to Pearl Jam's 'Black' and tell me that last line doesn't sound like 'her legs spread out before me'.

Seems like no one can agree on Eye of the Tiger. 

The bands official site has always said 'its the Thrill of the fight', but I know a lot of people who insist, with great gusto, that the line is 'its the cream of the fight'

The all time winner is Nirvana. We all have our own versions of every single one of their songs. What are the real lyrics? Who knows. It doesn't really matter anymore. Even if I knew the right lyrics, it would still be my own version playing through my head along with the song.

My wife and her sister for years thought for years that the Sherle Crow song "If It Makes You Happy" was putting on a porn show instead of Put on a poncho not sure what the mosquitos were for.... kink i guess.

Being that I grew up in the 60's and 70's I am not sure if it was me saying the wrong lyrics or if the bands of the time were so messed up that they changed them from time to time when they sang the songs.

Dope made the good songs of that time and probably changed the lyrics frequently.

Kaisarion- by Ghost
(found from a fan reddit page)

Correct lyrics

Kaisarion, a prophecy told
we're building our empire from the ashes of an old

Kaisarion, the fruit of the womb
our brotherhood of good faith sealed an apostate witch's doom.

 

Misheard lyrics

Kaisarion, the fruit of the womb
our brotherhood of good faith seals and a prostate which is doomed.
