How many song lyrics have you screwed up?

LOL. Ever listen to songs that you like a lot but you THINK the singer is saying certain words and even though those words really don't make sense, you assume they are the correct song lyrics and so you that's how YOU sing the words? Give you an example. I love Sting. For years, when he was with the group called The Police, I would listen to him singing “Spirits in the Material World”. I thought he was saying: “We are stairs in the material world.” Sang it that way for years until my husband corrected me. Hey! I blamed Sting's British accent. It's not my fault I didn't understand his pronunciation of the word. Another example. My husband also likes to listen to a lot of reggae music. One of the groups he likes is “Steel Pulse”. They were performing in concert and the lead singer was repeating the same line over and over to a sing. I'm listening to the performance and it sounded like he was singing “Chant a summer day”. Those lyrics don't make sense but the song had a good beat. My husband corrects me again. NO! He's saying “Chant a Psalm a day.” Goof grief! You mean it's a religious song??! Once again. Not my fault. I blame the guy's Jamaican accent! What about you? Do you screw up the lyrics of songs you really like?
