Song lyrics you deliberately sing wrong

[Wayne-O]

He's dancin' with the chicken slacks
She's movin' up and back

[snowthx]

"...cause we are li-ving in a venereal world, and I am the venereal girl..."

"Owner of a lonely fart..."

[LAV25]

We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
And we'll take all God's enemies
and put them to the sword
And they'll know we are Christians
when they die
when they die
Yes they'll know that we are Christians when they die.

[Ludovic]

Found another one, by the excellent slightly pop-punk band called Fireworks (they're so good that all of their songs sound like album openers.)

They have a lyric that goes
"we'll start having to cope with the fact that
none of the things we say are making any sense at all"

I originally heard it as
"We'll start having a Coke with the fact that
none of the things we say are making any sense at all"

Which doesn't make any sense at all. Which I thought was the point of the line . But I'm singing it that way from now on cause mine is better dammit.

[The Walking Dude]

"My pony plays the bongo"

I blame my wife for that. I will never hear it as, "Marconi plays the mamba" ever again.

LOL My old buddy Glen Sarcona taught me that version

To Laibach's Tanz Mit Laibach we sing something along the lines of
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
Give the German Kittens Beer! [instead of Bruederchen, komm tanz mit mir]
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
German kittens want their beer! [instead of Beide Haende reich ich dir]
and so on.

mrAru also substitutes words in english that sound german in Rammstein songs

I still insist on singing My Bonnie with the Vietnam variant and got my goddaughters doing it as well.

[Cliffy]

I do a couple of those already mentioned -- Secret Asian Man, Tony Danza, and (occasionally) there's a bathroom on the right.

One of my own is from a Barry Manilow hit in regular rotation when I was a kid: "Looks like tomatoes!" That was my mondegreeen and I'm sticking to it.

The one I find most fun is The Beatles' Lady Madonna -- in the break where they sing "ba ba bah, ba ba ba bababah..." I do it as chickens bawking. I always picture Gonzo leading his chicken chorus on The Muppet Show.

I like substituting "ba fangool" for "I love you":

I just called to say "ba fangool"

[Filbert]

I actually heard it as this once, and now I can't sing it any other way,

Aretha Franklin:

'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A mental old woman'

I sing it as "An actual wombat (wombat)."
