Dave Barry's Bad Song Book has an entire chapter devoted to this phenomenon. The most infamous is The Lion Sleeps Tonight, where no one can agree what exactly the background singers are saying.

Like many others, I hear the line "the smell of fat chicks just put my spine out of place" in David Bowie's "Suffragette City."

Also in "Tumbling Dice" I always hear Mick Jagger singing "baby, am-scray..."

I'll quote myself from Trevor's 2009 Mis-heard lyrics in songs (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,127639.0.html) Thread  :wink:

Quote
Sheila E. - The Belle of St. Mark

"The woman that hurt him surely must have trouble sleeping"

I always understood:

"A woman that hurt him should have her head chopped off sleeping"

For years I thought those were quite brutal lyrics, for a rather innocent sounding dance-pop tune.

I recall Whoopi Goldberg trying to decipher the lyrics to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” in the movie "Jumping Jack Flash" in order to determine some code key. Hilarious scene  :bouncegiggle:

The old song "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann

When it goes, "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" it sounded like "dressed up like a douche, she go runnin' in the night."    :bouncegiggle:

Jack and Diane by John Cougar.  I always heard "Let the bottle bounce, come and save my soul" and wondered how a bouncing bottle could do that.  It's actually "let the Bible Belt come and save my soul".

There's a line in Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City" that goes
"Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio"
but I always hear it as
"Dave Foley plays La Bamba, whistlin' to the radio"

From Pantera's "Domination"...

Actual lyric: "Pushed into living Hell"

Misheard lyric: "Pushed into mini-vans"

...I swear, that is what it's always sounded like to me!

In "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams I kept hearing the lyric "I got my first real sex dream".

The final refrain of The Kinks' "Lola" goes:
"Well I'm not the world's most masculine man/But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man (and so's Lola)"
but for years I thought it was "I know what I am in a bed, I'm a man (and so's Lola)"
I always thought people who were confused about that song's meaning were so stupid, but apparently it was just a lot more overt in my head....

That was a very funny movie and that scene was great.

Round And Round by Ratt

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, a pizza sells

That's what I always hear anyway.

In addition to the ones I mentioned in Trevor's old thread, I had a friend who thought "Hit me with your best shot" was "Heaven with erection."  I usually don't hear the wrong words.  In my case, I just can't figure out what the words are.  For example, I might hear something like, "We had a great time (mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble) . . ."

Not so much songs that I misheard, but a song that I wish I had misheard.

In Selena Gomez' "The Heart Wants What It Wants" there is a line that goes "The bed's getting cold and you're not here." That may be bad enough, but the rumor has it, the song is about her working through her feelings for Justin Bieber and their on again and off again relationship. Which would seem to indicate that sometime in their relationship, they once slept together. Ewww!

And while I am not as down on their relationship as most people, including most of her friends, I think with a little more maturity on his part, the relationship might actually work, as he obviously needs someone, besides his mother, to mother him, and she needs someone to mother.

It is just the last time, when she came down with the flu and mimicked the signs of pregnancy, people said they ought to name the child, if it was a boy,  Damian, after the child in "The Omen," because that be what they be producing, a son of Satan.

Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac.  I always thought it was "True loves make bad lovers" when it's actually "Rulers make bad lovers".  Which makes sense considering the next line is "Better put your kingdom up for sale".

From this:
Haunted Rhapsody (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3njuo_Fycg#)

Misheard lyrics: Plays with your mind on Christmas Eve

Actual lyrics: Plays with your mind endlessly

I still dont know how I got that.
