This is embarrassing, but as a little kid I misheard the lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner. This was probably because I was never officially taught it, but picked it up as I heard it sung. So... I thought "Home of the brave" was "Home of the grave"

^^ oh..... that's funny lol

Adeona, I might have thought the same thing. Haha! Funny how those things cross your mind when you're so young.

Real Lyrics:
Rehab, Rehab, Rehab, Rehab
(echoes, etc.)

My brother misheard it as:
Green eggs and ham, Green eggs and ham

Selena Gomez: A Year Without Rain

At first I thought it was "Can't help that i'm in love"

Real lyric: "Can't help it, I'm in love"

Just My Imagination: The Temptations

Real Lyric: A little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.

Misheard Lyric: A little home out in the country with two children named Nadine.

David Archuleta's "Something bout love" song:

correct: When the world falls down like rain, it'll bring you to your knees

incorrect(mine): When the world falls down like rain, and the rain into your knees...

lol, @sandy and fortunata!
There have been so many instances - but usually what we hear is pretty boring.

Real lyrics: Come on, if you're tired take a step outside, you might find you can forget about yourself tonight, come on, if you're tired of failed attempts to try, freedoms waiting when you look outside.

What I heard till I went to a concert and saw the words on the board: Come on, if you dare to take a step outside, you might find you can forget about yourself tonight, come on if your derafield (huh?) attempts to try, freedoms waiting when you look outside.

Just My Imagination: The Temptations

Real Lyric: A little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.

Misheard Lyric: A little home out in the country with two children named Nadine.

*sigh* I love misheard lyrics...

I heard the song,'' My Bonny'' when I was younger, and I thought the words were:''MY Body.'' I always thought it must have to do with him always wanting to live at sea. He felt like home was living on the sea. Wrong:
''MY Body lies over the ocean. My Body lies over the sea.''
Correct:
''My Bonny lies over the ocean. My Bonny lies over the sea.''

You don't have to be a dream in action (wrong)

You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action (correct).

For the longest time I thought the Evacuating London lyrics was this:
One Day.....
woooooooohooooooo.....lllla (that what it really sounded like to me.)
But they really are:
One breath for all
beneath the wall
(Feel this, Feel This)

I found it out when I looked up the lyrics.

The song Caramelldansen is a very hard song to interpret when sung in Swedish. Since so many Germanic words are used, it's really easy to come up with silly words. If you've ever heard the song you'll surely understand completely.

With that said, here's a funny interpretation of my favorite part of the song. I'll post the real English lyrics after the misheard and original Swedish lyrics.

Misheard Lyrics:

Dance on your house
Cap in your hand
Sayin' yours, only yours
I want to stay to dance, dance
You smell like pizza in the ground sayin'
Look at me now
A Caramelldansen

Original Swedish Lyrics:

Dansa med oss
Klappa era händer
Gör som vi gör
Ta några steg åt vänster
Lyssna och lär
Missa inte chansen
Nu är vi har med
Caramelldansen

English Lyrics:

Dance with us
Clap your hands
Do as we do
Take a few steps to the left
Listen and learn
Do not miss
Now we have to
Caramelldansen

Haha "You smell like pizza..." I like that lol

Don't know if this one's been said already, but R.E.M's song Great Beyond?

i heard: hamster's from the grave, hamsters from the grave be gone

what it is: I'm looking for answers from the great, answers from the great beyond
