What song lyrics have you misinterpreted? I'm sure you got some funny ones!
When I was a little one, I always thought that Spandau Ballet's song True lyrics were saying "I know this LUNCH is true" instead of " I know this MUCH is true".
1. Show Artist/Band and Song
2. Show misinterpreted lyrics
3. Show correct lyrics
4. show video or audio if available.

Well of course, there's the classic line from Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze":
"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy." Real line: "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky."
Only a couple of months ago, my mom admitted that she had always thought "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was "Lucy in Desguise with Diamonds."

My friend (and no it wasn't me) did the following:
1. Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit
2. "I'm a potato"
3. "Correct lyric: "My libido"

I thought Prince was saying, "Feel me, Call me," (pronounced Feeeel meh! Call meh!!) for "Little Red Corvette..."
Say it fast while singing it and you'll see what I mean!

My personal best was probably:
"Glorified version of a pelican" by Pearl Jam
(OK... maybe it's pellet gun...)
But mainly I wanted the opportunity to repost this Youtube Video!

When I was a kid and listened to my mom's Oldies station all the time, I thought Elvis's song, "I'm All Shook Up" was something completely different - I didn't grasp the whole Tennessee accent, twang thang. Plus I thought that most rock lyrics were kind of gibberishy back then, so it didn't occur to me that it SHOULD make more sense. Ha!
1. Elvis / "I'm All Shook Up" (aka "A Marsha Cup")
2. MY LYRICS:
My friends say I'm acting wide as a bug /
I'm in love /
A Marsha Cup
...
She touched my hand what a chill I got/
Her lips alive, I'm a king on the top
....
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak/
My insides are shaking like a Levi tree/
3. CORRECT LYRICS:
My friends say I'm actin' WIRED* as a bug/
I'm in love/
I'm all shook up
...
She touched my hand what a chill I got/
Her LIPS* are like a volcano that's hot

How about "Blinded By the Light" by Mannfred Mann?
"Revved up like a deuce" sounded like "wrapped up like a deuche".
I know I wasn't the only one that misinterpreted that one.

I like my sister's version of Green Day's "Basket Case"
Her version: "sometimes my mom plays tricks on me"
Green Day: "sometimes my mind plays tricks on me"
my imagination: Billie Joe Armstrong wandering around in haze, on the verge of a mental breakdown, while his mom is planting tripwires around the house, giggling

This ain't a scene, it's an arm race -- Fall Out Boys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LucfKdukf10
Misheard: This ain’t a city, it’s a golf dare ass face
Actual: This ain’t a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
Misheard: I’m not a shovel Don Juan I dye grass
Actual: I’m not a shoulder to cry on but I digress
Misheard: I’m a little man, and I’m also evil, also into cats, also into cats.
Actual: I’m a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
This is my favorite misheard lyric. I would suggest doing a search on YouTube for "Misheard lyrics"

My favorite example of this is actually from a Pearl Jam live album, wherein the singer Eddie is poking fun at their guitarist Mike for having thought that the hook from KISS' most famous song went, "I want to rock and roll all night. And part of every day."
