I know it's normal to mishear song lyrics, but is it normal to have the incorrect lyrics stuck in your head?

I found a song recently that has opera-like chanting or whatever (don't know exactly how to word it) in it and someone commented that it sounded like "pom pom pompompom pompom PENIS PENIS" and that's all I hear now. There aren't actual lyrics for that part either so I'm forever stuck hearing "penis penis"

      What, what?!?!? That's NOT what they're saying? What are they saying then? Because I've been hearing the same thing.

    I know the song you speak of. It goes:

    AAAAAAH AH SE SOO SHE SHE SHAAAAAA
    AH OH EEH EH
    AH OH EEH EH

    I have actually heard the words: "I know your sect, the devil's sect" in it. But in my language.

    Anyway..

    Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal.

    When she came into the window
    With a sun dove and a shendo
    I came into her buns tonight
    There was butt stains on the carpet
    She was sitting on the table
    You could see she was an emo
    So she ran into the bedroom
    She was sucked down a boardroom

    Up until I discovered azlyrics.com I thought those were the lyrics

    I didn't think it mattered so long as you like the song.

    way too many!

    Psychosocial by Slipknot
    Correct: Packaging subversion
    What I always hear: Pikachu's a virgin

    Silversun Pickups
    Correct: It's nice to know you work alone
    What I always hear: It's nice to know you wore cologne

      but the winner is:

      https://youtu.be/W5bnnagxt38?t=3m12s
      he clearly says "I may have lost my weiner"

      No fucking way anyone can tell me that song isn't secretly about erectile dysfunction. I mean the lyrics also go... broken c(l)ock is a comfort. and I'm "hanging" on another day

      ?!?!?!

    Until fairly recently I thought the refrain in the Bee Gee's song was "stay in the light, stay in the light" and that "Staying Alive" was a totally different song.

    I do find that if I listen to music stoned I suddenly hear lines I've never been able to work out before

    There used to be a TV show in Australia called "Spicks & Specks" (still being repeated years later) which had a segment called Mondegreens about misheard lyrics, from a woman who heard the words in an old song as "Lady Mondegreen" when it actually said "laid him on the green".

    If you want lots more incorrect words to clog up your brain, just google mondegreens

    This one is stupid, but when I hear that annoying Lady Gaga song called Pokerface, I hear the punch line as "P-p-p-poke her face, p-p-poke her face."
