Well, if it was the flagon with the dragon...

When Madonna first released "Die Another Day", I thought she was singing, "I want to die, under the stage."

My husband thought the REM song "night Swimming" Was called "Nice Women"

In the part of Alive (by Pearl Jam) when it says "Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked" i tought it said "Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm playing guitar" (more likely "Guitah")

In "Message in a Bottle" (The Police), I thought the line "A year has passed since I wrote my note", was "A year has passed since I broke my nose".
