In high school, one kid confessed that for the longest time he thought Queen's song was "Another One Buys a Datsun". He wondered: What's so great about a Datsun that Freddie Mercury's singing about buying one?

Franky Valli and the Four Seasons. My girlfriend was certain in the song Let's Hang On, he was singing '"we got a lota lucky twi nuts" instead of "we got a lota love between us". How the heck do I remember this crap?

I got so sick of hearing Manfred Mann's version on the radio.... toooo much .

Springsteen wrote it fwiw...

"Revved up like a deuce..." is what it was s'posed to be.... but I ain't about to hear it again just for clarification.... not even once

"One Horse Soap and Sleigh."

From Jingle Bells.

Never made sense to me, but lots of big band Christmassy stuff had nonsense lyrics so I never thought too much about it.

Lady friend singing Jimmy Buffet:

"Stepped on a pop tart, blew out my flip flop"

Whoaaaa! Who the hell has ever stepped on a pop tart?!

College buddy listening and singing with a blues band:

"My baby got a black cap on"

Hey! Dude! It's "My baby got a BLACK CAT BONE!"

My dear friend once upon a time on a long road trip:

"We're gonna hit the Krystal drive thru for some cat heads (he's a product of the Mississippi Delta where they have cat head biscuits) and pull a Steely Dan"

Huh?

"yeah, you know, drink scotch whiskey all night long and dine behind the wheel"!

Duran Duran "Girls on Film" was always "Germs on Phlegm".

An adjacent sidebar; on the Conan Podcast, the producer was telling Conan that his wife thought the name was McJagger, not Mick Jagger.

Yes, some lyrics are really hard to hear and understand, but a lot of the stuff that you guys are posting is not anything that I'd misunderstood. But then I know that different folks have different capacities for hearing and understanding speech. For instance, I understand folks with fairly strong accents most of the time, but I've known other folks that had a really hard time understanding people with thick accents, whether they are foreign (English, Scottish, Indian, etc...) or even people with thick accents from the New England area.
