Anyone misunderstand lyrics? Post the name of the song, artist, misunderstood lyrics then the correct lyrics. I'll start...
Here's a little background, this came out when I was a young child, growing up in a house of violence and lots of beatings the lyrics just made sense. Lol
Tracy Chapman: Fast Car
Incorrect lyrics:
So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could beat someone, beat someone, beat someone
Correct lyrics:
So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Dobie Gray:
Wrong: “Oh give me The Beach Boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away”
Correct: “Oh give me the beat boys and free my soul...”
I still think my version works better for the whole song.

Elton John
wrong: darling lady queen
right: dominating queen
wrong: I can't like no more Augie Dogness
right: I can't light no more of your darkness
Apparently a LOT of people hear Augie Dogness, it comes right up on google search. I looked up the lyrics for Little Pink Houses, which I was sure I had wrong, but hey, I heard Stop a Clock right after all.

Hearing "Captain Caveman" in yellow submarine should be "Cut the cable"
