For me its Boston "More then a feeling" For 35 years i been singing "I see the Marriet walking away". In hindsight, it doesn't make much sense, but thats what my ears told my brain for over 3 decades! Damn you Amazon Music and your Lyrics!. Ignorance is Bliss.

Also, same song, "when im tired i think of coke" Wrong!
 
She seems to be in physical top shape!
 
when I was a kid I had a lot of ear infections until some operation. That combined with muffled old AM radios led me to believe that "Nobody told me there'd be days like these" by John Lennon was in fact "Nobody told me she was dyslexic".

I dunno how I knew what a dyslexic was as a kid. Took me a long while to correct that lyric.

I've been singing the first verse and the French chorus lines wrong in various changeable ways for a couple decades before finally googling a few months ago. I did not realise that was French and put various English interpretations over them through the years.

Cher.. I sang 'do you believe in love after love'

It's actually 'life after love'
 
For some reason as always understood Britney Spears' "my lonelyness, is killing me" as "i munch on dicks by the dozen" and always sang it like that.
 
In the Venom song "Sacrifice", i always understood the line "Death is swift 'neath satan's sword" wrong.
I always sang "Taylor Swift is Satan's whore"
