In the country song, Shoulda Been A Cowboy, I always heard, “Wearin’ my sex shoe” instead of “Wearin’ my six shooter.” It took at least a decade for me to realize the error. I also misheard, “Bacon apology after a fight” instead of “Fake an apology after a fight” in the song My Father by Jax. I have realized the error but still sing the lyrics about bacon because I’d rather someone give me bacon as an apology instead of faking an apology.
How about y’all?
When I was 12 I used to sing
“Gimme gimme gimme, I’m mad at the midnight”
The lyrics actually were
"Gimme gimme gimme, a man after midnight "
“There’s a bathroom on the right.” instead of “There’s a full moon on the rise.”
ok.
heres one. its in a milky chance song and i thought it said “sodomy burn” lol ok i forget the song name but hes probably singing "stole from my heart.
Celine Dion’s “My heart will go on”:
“Will, stay forever dismay” instead of “we’ll stay forever this way”. I even wondered who that Will was.
And a couple other distorted words I don’t remember anymore.
In my defense, English is only my third language and besides I always focus on the music itself, not the lyrics.
Hendrix - Purple Haze
Original: excuse me while I kiss the sky
What I heard: excuse me whilst I kiss this guy
“Wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night.”
Sodomy burns are the WORST! lol 
“Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night”.
Thanks for the article! 
Mystery solved 
“What have I become, my Swedish friend?”
Instead of “my sweetest friend”
Everybody Wants to be My Baby by the Beatles. My version is so far off I don’t think anyone would understand how I thought it.
The line
“Went out last night, I didn’t stay late,
Before I got home I had 19 dates”
I had no idea what they were saying in that second line for 30 years until the internet came out. When I sang along in my head I always thought they were singing something like, “Oklahoma, how the nights we made.”
Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones, off the Some Girls album, 1978.
I thought it was,
“All your sickness, I can suck a duck”.
Real line,
“All your sickness, I can suck it up,
Throw it all at me, I can shrug it off.”
