I thought Van Halen "Panama" was "Canada" for an embarrassing amount of time

Had a friend that would argue until he was blue in the face that the line "I can remember when you could stop a clock" in Pink Houses was actually I can remember when you could starve a flower.

New Orleans Ladies

“All the way from Bourbon Street to West L.A.”

Damn, those New Orleans ladies get around! And then one day “Esplanade” jumped out at me and it finally made sense.

As a kid in the 80s, I misheard "Voices Carry" as "It's so scary."

I still think it makes sense, but I know it's incorrect.

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault

Up until about a year ago my wife thought it was "Animal". She is terrible with lyrics. I could sit on here forever, but one of my favorites of her's was Bon Jovi's "I'll be there for you these five words I swear to you". She thought it was "fee-fi-fo I swear to you".

Eric Clapton- Layla. Obviously didn't know the title as a kid. Just heard it when my dad would have the radio on. Thought he was saying "Hey Love, Got me on my knees. Hey Love, ......"

Beach Boys- Barbara Ann. Again, not having the title of the song in my face. As a kid, I think they are just making some noises like bah bah bah, bah bah bahrammm. No idea it's a name.

Funny thing with both of these is that I've known forever now what the real lyrics are, but when I sing in my head, I still revert to what I heard as a kid.

interesting to see folks downvoting posts in a thread where people literally admit they we wrong.
