    Maroon 5's Sugar is on the radio a lot.

    There is a lyric at the start of the song that is:
    "When I'm without you
    I'm something weak"

    But for ages I thought it was:
    "When I'm without you
    I'm soaked in wee"

    Major Lazer, Lean on.
    The bit where MØ is singing 'Lean on, lean on lean on......' to fade I keep thinking it sounds like 'Nee Naw, Nee Naw, Nee Naw' like an ambulance or police car driving away.

    Wham's Last Christmas.

    "This year, to save me from tears"

    I always heard: "This year, the semi frontiers" (because of the snow, trees & mountains)

    Am I the only one?

    No I thought the same :)
    Just a come-on from the BOYS on Seventh Avenue

    :D :pac:

    Not misheard and I think it's well known but we use to always sing as kids, "I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone" instead of "I can see clearly now the rain..."

    We used to deliberately mispronounce lyrics & drunkenly sing em at parties. Was years ago can only remember a couple:

    "Don't let your son go down on me"

    "Strangers in my tights"

    "Hold him by the ears"

    I always wondered how it was that Paul McCartney foresaw Star Wars about 3/4 years before it was released. ("Jet" , where at one stage he seems to be singing about "Darth Vader")

    Steve Harley/Cockney Rebel's song The Best Years of our lives.
    The first line is European maids, hard to ignore
    I've been singing You'll be amazed for about 40 years.

    The Kooks Naive

    My version until corrected after about 2 years;
    "I know she knows that I'm not from Alaska"

    should be;

    "I know she knows that Im not fond of asking"

    Always had a feeling I wasn't getting the words to Desert Moon totally right, so I checked them out today. It turns out the line I thought was

    "The weight upon our memories is a tiny curse" is

    "The waiter poured our memories into tiny cups".

    In the song Games Without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel, I used to sing along “she, so fcuked it up”, the actual line was the song title translated into French - “jeux sans frontiers”.

    And I was in France one summer listening to that album endlessly on my Walkman, yet I never copped it...

    Not me, but something I saw online earlier on today.
    George Harrison's' "I've got my mind set on you"
    Somebody heard it as "A goblin might sit on you"

    I'll never again be able to hear it with the correct lyrics :D
