Twenty years ago, Buffalo, NY. The Fat of the Land by Prodigy was still huge. A dancer in a strip club thought "Smack my Bitch Up" was "Snap my Picture". True story.

From high school until two or three weeks ago, I thought the lyrics for Limp Bizkit's "Just Like This" were concerned about John Goodman's weight.
"...and we make sure that John Goodman beats fat"
The song randomly popped into my head a few weeks ago, and I was like "wait, that can't be right". So I looked up the correct lyrics which are "And we made sure that John kept them beats phat"
I just breathed a sigh of relief that John Goodman is not the subject of a Limp Bizkit song…

That’s “The Graduate Remix”
There this French fold band, Skáld that usually sings in Old Norse language. In the song Hross, the first line of the chorus is "Hverir eru þeir tveir?". The way they sing those first two words sounds like "Fevereiro", which is the Portuguese (my native language) word for February.
Working with guys who's 1st language isn't English singing "Take me to Monkey Town", instead of "Take me to Funky Town."
Golden Earring - Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called ~~red hot love~~
We've got a wave in the air
~~Red hot love~~
In my defense, I was hearing this over sometimes-fuzzy analog radio rather than off a tape or CD where the track title might clue me in. Less defensible: not noticing the other words that make more sense when talking about radar.
I always thought it was redeye love, in the same context as a redeye flight.
I always thought that song was "Red Alert"

I had a friend in grade school that argued with me about the lyrics to Kenny Rodgers The Gambler. He was loudly and angrily certain the song said "You gotta know how to hold 'em" and would NOT hear my suggestion that it is really "when to hold 'em".
The next day he quietly told me I was right.
