    ^ Just like any Cocteau Twins song...although in their case I think it was intentional.

    I always hear the lyrics of Chop Suey by System of a Down as "grandpa should put on a little makeup, whyd you leave the kids up on the table"

    My mom came up with one while listening to Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5:

    instead of this: I've got the moves like Jagger

    she sang this: If I could move Mick Jagger

    :guffaw:

    Rolling Stones "Beast Of Burden":

    Instead of this: I’ll never be your beast of burden

    For a long time, I heard this: I’ll never leave your pizza burning.

    You’ve somehow improved one of the greatest rock n roll songs of all time. Bravo.

    Just found out yesterday or this morning:

    Toto "Africa":

    Not: "I miss the rains down in Africa"

    but...

    "I bless the rains down in Africa."

    I had to look it up because I didn't believe it. Every source I saw said, "bless".

    No no no in Bohemian Rhapsody
    Spare him his life from this monstrosity = Sparing his life from his pork sausages

    Celine Dion's The Heart goes on? includes the lines
    'The Hot Dogs go on' and 'Never Let goats in'

    The Bomb....are they really singing 'Three black puddings in my mouth?'

    Slightly off-topic, as the song Life by Des'ree include lines one might think to have misheard, but are in fact correct:

    I don't want to see a ghost,
    It's the sight I fear the most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast
    And watch the evening news

    The LeAnn Rimes version of "How Do I Live" (side note: the next DJ to play that song should be executed without trial):

    "How do AH LEEEEEEEVE...with AH-CHOO..."

    How about this: She's a black magic woman and she's tryin' to take a pebble out of me!

    Instead of: She's a black magic woman and she's tryin' to make a devil out of me!

    I thought the girl removed kidney stones!!!

    Another song I misunderstood was The Police's "Message in a Bottle".

    The end lyrics are as follows:

    Walked out this morning
    Don't believe what I saw
    A hundred billion bottles
    Washed up on a shore
    Seems I'm not alone at being alone
    A hundred billion castaways
    Lookin' for a home

    It was that last word that threw me; I thought it was something else they were trying to rhyme with the word, "shore".

    Well... she's not wrong?

    Except for the news part. That's almost as scary.
