I constantly hear songs in my head. And later discover I remembered the lyrics inaccurately.

But funny story. Some of you will remember the "Dick, Jane and Sally" books of our youth. They had a cat named "Puff". OK. I've been around cats since childhood. But I only realized why Puff was named Puff when I was an adult. She "puffed" up as cats do sometimes. LOL! Facepalm

Mis-Heard Lyrics
Mondegreen—pronounced mon-duh-green in Australia—is when
someone misunderstands or misinterprets the lyrics of a song
or a phrase.  (Thanks for this OP Min.)

The term “mondegreen” was created by the US writer Sylvia Wright
in 1954.   In an essay, she wrote how she misheard the Scottish
ballad “The Bonnie Earl O’ Moray.” Wright always thought the ballad
said, “They have slain the Earl of Murray/and Lady Mondegreen.”

The correct lyrics are, “They have slain the Earl of Murray/and laid him on the green.”

   "Slow walking Walter, the fire engine guy".    Big Grin

I'm a creationist...   I believe that man created God.

Mis-Heard Lyrics
A christian child came home one day from Sunday School telling Mom about a new song about a "Cross-eyed bear named Gladly". It took the Mom a while to figure out it was "Gladly, The Cross I'd Bear". LOL!

No, it wasn't me...

Mis-Heard Lyrics
“If Diana wants me”

For Indiana wants me…

When Santa threw up the sash in the open, I thought he threw up the hash (vomited). To be fair, I was about 5 for that one.

I’m sure I have others…

One of my brothers was at a concert and some people were "singing" along, "...smoke on the water, and lions in the sky..."   hobo

I had to ask someone what Donovan was singing, "Mellow Yellow". That Irish accent really threw me off.  Dunno

Mis-Heard Lyrics
Manilow's lyric: "Oh Mandy / well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'."

8-year-old Thump's ears: "Oh Mandy / well, you kissed me and stopped me from shavin'."

I was really confused why a beard was such a sad thing.

Not so much mis-heard as misunderstood. I finally realized that "Life in the Fast Lane" was about cocaine, in 1991. Yeah, not big on drug culture, working in the defense biz.  Modest

It took me a couple of years, but after moving to SoCal as a teen in 1983 it made total sense. "Lines on the mirror" gave it away for me, young as I was.
