I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that thought that's what he said, though...I hope...

Hahahaha!!!! This is the first thing I thought of!

Back several years ago my mother thought the Vanilla Ice song “Ice, Ice, Baby” was song “Sliced Beef and Gravy.”

Until I heard the Counting Crows cover, I always thought that the lyrics to the Psychadelic Furs - The Ghost in You were:

Inside you the time moves and she don't mind
the ghost in you she don't find.

It always used to run through my head whenever I was on the verge of referring to an old girlfriend when talking to a current girlfriend, ususally with the effect of having me say something else.

When I was a kid, I used to think the Beach Boys were singing "I wish they offered me California Girls" instead of "I wish they all could be California Girls" . ANd now that I am older, I want to revert back to the misunderstood lyric: I wish they WOULD offer me California girls.

When I was a kid I used to think the line was "bring me a pie of love" instead of the proper "bring me a higher love". As a kid, there is no higher love than pie.

I knew a guy who used to sing dirty deed and they're dunderchee. I don't think he knew that dunderchee isn't a word, but he sang it anyway.

Also, my wife is a big fan of CSI and when the themesong comes on, (Who are you? by the Who) she used to always sing "ooooooooooh ahhhh oooooooh, ooooh oooh"
I told her they're actually singing 'who are you-ou-ou" She still sings it her way...

And for all you Canadians out there...Dave Matthews sings "backwards into a wall of fire" which I admittedly once sang as "backwards into a waterfall". Hey, who knew?
