Has anybody misheard lyrics of a song or thought the lyric sounded like somthing else.
One funny one I remember was in church hearing "Lord I lift your name on high"
Actual lyric: "You came from heaven to earth my debt to pay"
Misheard: "You came from heaven to earth, my dead toupee (too-pay)."
Michael W. Smith's "Love Me Good"
Actual lyric: "But I could never live in a yurt On a diet of mongolian barbecue"
Misheard: "But I could never live in a urine diet of mongolian barbecue" (made me do a double take!)
Let me hear yours , if i think of any other's i'll post them.
oh yeah and I heard a song by Rihanna the other day called "please don't stop the music" is it me or does it sound like the background repeating vocals near the last half of that song are singing:
"Im the insane son of Microsoft" Does anybody know what they are really singing?
things that make you go hmmmmm?

My little sister always thought the lyrics to Hawk Nelson-Bring Em Out was this: Everybody rock till you break your tongue.
The correct lyrics are: Everybody rock till the break of dawn.
We still tease her.

lol... I remember back when "I'm Blue" was a super-popular song, me and my brother had the lyrics ALL screwed up.
Actual: "I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dye (repeat "da ba dee da ba dye" a bunch of times)"
Misheard: "I'm blue, if I sneeze I will die..."

Now I always took that one as saying "I'm Blue, I'm in need of a diet" instead.

The Safety Dance-Men Without Hats
misheard:
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally remove it
And act like we're in Brazil.
Correct:
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

there's a korean rap group named epik high... one of my fave songs by the is called "One"
real lyrics: you are the one, you are the savior
misunderstood as: you are the one, and i am the one
of course it isn't funny.... the line 'you are the savior" is in korean, but it sounded like "i am the one" in english....
one of the funniest ways for misheard lyrics is songs in other languages, then you find out what they are really saying...

These come to mind for me:
Willie Nelson's Pancho and Lefty
Real: "All the Federales say, they could've had him any day."
Misheard: "All the better olives say, they could've had him any day."
Heart's Dog and Butterfly
Real: "Dog and Butterfly."
Misheard: "Talking Butterfly."

I was at a church one Sunday, when the congergation sang "I Exalt Thee". After the song, there was a quiet moment. All of a sudden, a litle girl yelled "Hey! Why are you saying your salty? I don't like that!". Everyone got a good laugh about that.

"Blinded by the Light" the "wrapped up like a deuce" part.
I once saw Bruce Springsteen (who wrote the song) talk about the misheard lyrics part, it was funny.

The classic:
actual: "There's a bad moon on the rise" by CCR
misheard: "There's a bathroom on the right"
actual: "Love crucified, arose" by Michal Card
misheard: "Love crucified a rose" kept wondering why they were killing flowers....
more of a misunderstanding the lyric:
old hymn actual lyric: "I will praise Him, Praise the Lamb for sinners slain"
Kept wondering who was slaying all those sinners and why they were praising God for it....

When I was in college, I knew a youth minister who was quite sure Michael Jackson was singing "The chair is not my size" instead of "The kid is not my son" in Billie Jean.

Old worship song that goes "My life is in you, Lord" . . . I went, "My wife is a Jew, Lord."
A more modern worship song goes, "take, take, take it all." I heard, "take, takes, take it off."
I had a friend who use to sing, "Give me the beach boys to free my soul. . ." I explained to her the correct lyrics. She goes, "ooohh. I just thought they really liked the beach boys."

1love, a buddy of mine thought the line was "take it off" also. He was quite offended untill he read the lyrics. Just goes to show you how important it is to speak/sing clearly
