Not misheard (I don’t think), but made up lyrics to AC/DC was “it’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll” I always sing that if I hear that song.
I never know/can hear the lyrics, the only one I can mention is the song “black fingernails, red wine” by band Eskimo Joe. For years I heard the chorus as “I don’t understand the point of fingers”. I’d never bothered to look it up, it was only recently that somebody told me it is “all of us stand and point our finger”
Heart’s These Dreams
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
I always thought it was:
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every moment I’m awake, I live another lie.
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
Whenever we hear Nelly’s “Ride” …
*If you want to go and take a ride with me
We 3-wheeling in the fo’ with the gold D’s
Oh why do I live this way?
*
We shout out “Hey, Fuck you, Buddy!” (Hey, must be the money!)
I know a guy who sings:
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make my cherries Bing
When I first heard AC/DC sing
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
I missed the first part, and I heard the second part as “Thunderchief”. I thought it was cool that someone wrote a song about the F-105.
I was also surprised to hear the correct line after I had listened to the song numerous times over two decades. I always heard “You’re an open blueprint” – i.e., “What you see is what you get – no artifice here!” Of course, it’s always been more about the music than the lyrics as far as Steely Dan is concerned.
I think it needs to be HOW my poor heart aches - otherwise there’s that missing syllable. Or maybe “Ah” instead of “How”.
Was just reminded of another one: I always thought the Marshall Tucker Band song “Heard it in a Love Song” was “Purty Little Love Song”. It still sounds like that to me now.
We’ll I’ll be damned.
“… can’t be wrong.”
Apparently, you can. 
So you guys heard it that way too?
As a Midwestern Catholic preteen, I was always puzzled by they Maverick theme song. You know, the line that goes “From Natchez to New Orleans, living on Jackson queens …” I knew it was something very strange, but was smart enough not to ask.

The progressive rock group King Crimson actually had a song in 1970 call “Cat Food”. I’m pretty sure it’s on youtube. Really wacky tune.
from the Temptations’ Papa was a rolling stone:
The real lyric:
Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself a jack-of-all-trades,
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave.
I thought it was:
…jack-of-all-trades (mumble mumble) sent Papa to the alleyway.
I know that this is from awhile ago, now, but I have always heard that line as “Your breath keeps shining in the sun.” I’m not sure how breath can shine, but whatever.
Even worse is, I know that I’ve learned the correct lyric at least once before. I can remember seeing “brown skin” and thinking, "Huh, how about that?’ And then I promptly forgot about it and went back to singing “breath keeps shining,” until this thread made me learn the correct words all over again.
Most likely, about a year from now, someone will mention “brown skin shining in the sun,” and my reaction will be, “What? No way! That’s not right, is it?”
He may have been exaggerating the “e” sound to be sure to avoid “Pig”. 
“Blueprint blue” is a recognizable variety of blue, but I’m not sure why it was chosen. Blueprint because he has “plans” for this girl, maybe?
I have no proof of this, but I’m absolutely certain Poussette Dart must have substituted the obvious last line when rehearsing “Fall on Me.” The lyrics sung for public consumption are:
If you’re gonna fall…
Fall on me
And if you’re goin’ down…
Hold on to me.
Yeah right. “Hold on to me.” That’s EXACTLY what everyone thinks of as the next line when they sing “And if you’re goin’ down…”
HAHAHAHAHA! From site: Van Halen: Padded-bra! (Panama)
When I hear the song Hotel California the line “the warm smell of colitas rising up through the air” became “the warm smell of koleep dust”
Don’t ask me what the heck “koleep dust” is though.:rolleyes:
When I was small, I heard the song “Oats, Peas, Beans.” The first line goes “Oats, peas, beans and barley grow”. I heard something like “Busby beans and Barney groves.” When the song says that the farmer “turns around to view the land,” I heard “…and turns around in Bugle Land”.
When I first heard the song “Do You Love Me?” I thought I heard “I can masturbate! I can masturbate! I can do the Twist! I can do the Twist!”. Actually, the original is “I can mash-potato (I can mash-potato)”.
In Paul McCartney’s (Wings?) “Mulberry Moon Delight”, I thought Linda was going “super Doo-ray!”, and I always kept wondering what the hell is a super doo-ray? But it’s “super fury!” she’s saying.
Odd lyrics, that number.
