Also, I think I've said before that I thought "Smoke on the water" was "Slow comin' home girl."

I didn't realize it was "Caught in the crowd" until I heard the No Doubt version. I like mine better. Angst/depression/etc.
2) I thought that when the Doobie Brothers sang "Take me in your arms/Love me, love me a little while," it was "Take me in your arms/Lovely lovely Louelle." At the time, I had never heard of a woman named Louelle, but I was like 7, so I figured what did I know? More than 25 years later, I heard it in the car and said, "You know, I've heard of exactly one person, ever, who was named Louelle. Maybe they're saying something else." Once I empowered myself, it didn't take long to detect the lyric. I'd still like to actually meet a woman named Louelle, though.

"Life in the hive puckered up my night"
Always sounds to me in my head, like:
"Life in the hamburgers of my night"
Neither of them make much sense.

I later learned he was saying "I got the hook up, holla if you hear me"
My confusion was based on the premise that, if Master p had the hook up, then their should have been no difficulty in hearing him. I articulated this confusion to a group of self described "rap heads" and was promptly laughed at.

I thought the backup singers were singing "Lot's wages" on "Showbiz Kids."
I thought Huey Lewis was singing "Now the oboe may be better tweeting, but the heart of rock and roll, the heart of rock and roll is still beating."

It wasn't until I heard a crappy cover of it this weekend during some equally crappy tv show or something that I realized it's actually "stay with your man awhile."

Smoke on the water / And fire in the sky
he thought it was:
Slow-motion Walter / That fire-engine guy
And then the character Phoebe on "Friends" mistook Elton John's (well, Bernie Taupin's) chorus in Tiny Dancer as:
"Hold me closer Tony Danza"
