Just how many song lyrics have you heard for years and suddenly realized you had the wrong word(s) all along?
I think it was only two years ago when I finally realized that allergies didn't knock Gilbert O'Sullivan down, but reality did.
And we laughed that my mom thought Jesus Christ Superstar was Pizza Pie, Pizza Pie and Tommy sure played a mean guitar.
And how many of you thought we packed up the babies and grabbed the old ladies to go see Reverend Blue Jeans?
I kinda knew that Jimmy kissed the sky, but too many people thought he kissed some guy.
And years ago when my nieces and nephews were little, they were sure that Ronnie Milsap wouldn't have traded one Mamaw Ree (what they called my aunt Rita) cause it meant to much to him.
So, what did you miss-hear?

I thought the words to Kenny Rogers’ Ruby was, “You’ve painted up your tits, rolled and curled your pubic hair. Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?” But it could be that I just sang it that way for so long that I thought it was what the lyrics said.
I swear Coffey I sometimes think you are actually my husband masquerading as someone else online.
He CONSTANTLY changes the words of songs and your version of Ruby sounds exactly like something he would say.
I prefer breasts sans paint, Coffey, (but I don't think I ever met one I didn't like.
Talkin' about misunderstanding the words, there's always this.
I watched that video that Greybeard mentioned. It is very funny! I was waiting for him to fall off the stage!
I remember Elton John singing about someone's electric boobs in "Bennie And The Jets".
And this isn't a song lyric, but I could've sworn that in the original Superman movie General Zod was taunting Jor-el by telling him, "you will bow down before me - first you, and then one day, your ass!" What foul language for my nine-year-old ears to hear at the time...
In my younger years I played a mean guitar and sang country songs at festivals.
But the one song I sang that still gets comments is Kenny Roger's LUCILLE:
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. Five hundred children took a crap in the field"
I never could understand what SHE was supposed to do about it.
Went to a piano bar in Corpus Christi, TX years ago to hear a (locally) famous gal do her stuff.
When we first arrived me and my buddy were the only folks in the bar. The talented piano-playing/singing lady confided in us...
"I sing 'Edelweiss', only I change the word to 'Eisel Scheiss', and no one ever notices". She told us the title means mule sh** in German.
She sang it later and we felt privileged to be in on her joke.
Yeah, I had the "me allergies came around" too.
When are you gonna write your She Said on doctor assisted suicide?
GB: I'm sure ol' Joe doesn't remember one second of that performance. Wow, he was just wild.
DC: Long time, no see. It's been a while since you've been here, no?
DD: Sad that the words to so many songs now days would make "ass" very mild and I'm sure the 9 year olds hear it a lot.
LJ: My niece and nephew used to sing, "You picked a time fine to leave me Lucille".
CnC: I dunno.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - "There's a bathroom on the right."
Sorry - just realized I totally copied your post title! That was the first one to come to mind, though.
Another favorite - "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche..."
