What song, or songs, have you misheard the lyrics to?

When I was a kid and Eddie Money's song "I Think I'm In Love" was playing on the radio, what I heard (or thought I heard) was "I think I'm in love, 'cause I can't get it up." But because I grew up in such a sheltered world, raised in a strict Catholic family, I didn't know what "can't get it up" meant. So I didn't understand what I was hearing at all.

And then there was Pink Floyd's song, "One Of My Turns." For a long time I thought he was saying "Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left you'll find my favorite ex" (meaning an ex-girlfriend that he had chopped up and stuffed into his suitcase). Imagine my relief when I bought the 2-CD set, [i]The Wall[/i], read the song lyrics, and discovered that it was actually his favorite axe, not his favorite ex, that he kept in his suitcase.

My grandpa was into like old punk music and I thought that the song "Blitzkrieg Bop" said "Lets drink pop" and I literally sang it that was until earlier this year fml.

Also Lil Peep's song says "Bother me, tell me awful things" and I literally thought it was "Father me, tell me awful things" and assumed he had some gay daddy kink.
