James, Lou's mate's Mum used to think the lyrics to Billie Jean went:

'Mama always told me,be careful what you do, dont go around breaking young girls' arms'

Bald headed woman....bald headed woman to me-eeee

I also couldn'd understand Morten Harket's rendition of 'in a day' in 'Take On Me' and heard it as 'In a wooooooooooooooo'. I hope it was a common mistake.

Until I got the recent Velvets live box set in which Lou Reed introduces Sister Ray with a list of the characters in the song, I always heard "Who's staring at Miss Rayon" as "Who's staring at this crayon." (like for the last 15 years)

I always thought there was a VU song where Lou goes "put jelly on your shoulder" hahahaha. And then I found out that's exactly what he's saying.

A friend once asked me what Mancheerons were.

Golden Brown texture like sun,
Lays me down, with my mancheerons.

'If you think it's easy doin' one night stands/Try playin' in a rotten band' (ACDC, Long Way To The Top)

'I was a bonehead teenage drunken thug/With a pink carnation and a pick-up drug' (Don McLean, American Pie)

ten months pass...
i'm listening to parklife by blur... and i suddenly remembered my friend karly, who thought the lyric "we kiss with dry lips when we say goodnight" on end of a century was in fact "we kiss vaginas when we say goodnight".
