Elton John:
“She’s got Electric Boots” was thought to be “She’s Got electric boobs”
Check this site for misheard lyrics:
I should have known there was a website for this
In the Dire Straits song “Money For Nothing,” I mis-hear a lne as something like “You’ve got your <flintstone> microwave oven, custom kitchen, etc, etc.” I’ve never taken the time to look up the correct lyric.
Sir
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours a day,
I want a piece o’ date bread.
“We gotta INSTALL microwave ovens…”
Well…Joey looks like he could use some extra fiber.
A Don Henly song lyric “their the very things we kill, I guess”. My GF at the time thought it said “their the furry things we kill”.
Admittedly, she was a little strange.
Now that’s funny!
Okay, for those of us (me) who might not know, what SONG is this from, and what should the lyric be? 
“I wanna be sedated.”
Okay, let’s cue up a little Bachman Turner Overdrive here,
And I’ll be bakin’ carrot biscuits
Every day
Bakin’ carrot biscuits
Every way
I’ve been bakin’ carrot biscuits,
It’s all mine
Bakin’ carrot biscuits
And workin’ overtime
Work out!
Not so much a song lyric as an ad lyric, but there’s this bike store called “CyclePath”, and one of their radio ads featured people singing the store name several times. I never failed to hear them singing “psychopath”.
I would have sworn that in Ricky Martin’s song Livin’ La Vida Loca he says she has “lips like devilled eggs.”
my girlfriend once told me that bad company’s ‘rock and roll fantasy’ reminded her of the jetsons. i asked why. she sang:
“here come the jetsons, one by one”.
“He has trampled through the village where the crates of rats are stored…” Leaving a young pre-literate flodnak to wonder why on earth anyone would store crates of rats???
(It’s from “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and the words are “…through the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.”)
First line of “Brown-Eyed Girl”:
Hey there, Enrico…
I thought Van Morrison was telling his friend Enrico about the brown-eyed girl.
I also thought “electric boobs.”
Everybody I know thinks that the Manfred Mann song “Blinded By the Light” has a line that says “revved up like a douche, another runner in the night” but it’s really “douce.” Just thought I’d share.
Um, that would be “deuce”.
As a kid, I always thought CCR’s song “Bad Moon Risin’” said “there’s a bathroom on the right.” (Instead of the totally obvious “there’s a bad moon on the rise.”)
I’m gonna borrow something from spooje:
xanadu, who clearly cannot spell.
