They should have a contest where you can win money if you can REALLY figure out what Mick is singing for cryin’ out loud:confused:
Bitch by The stones
I still think he’s singing “Feelin soul child, can’t undastand it just had a corpse seed night.” 
Brown sugar- Gulf coast shave bound for New Orleans sold in da market down in New Orleans had ole’ slate…"
Jumpin’ Jack Flash- I was born in a cross fire hurricane. I was housed in (God knows what is garbled at this point) lol.
Any more out there? 
I completely forgot – when I went to see Ben Folds back in November, he played an old Ben Folds Five song called “Kate” which I wasn’t familiar with. The chorus goes:
“I wanna be… KATE! KATE! KATE!” and so on.
I was absolutely convinced he was saying “I want some… CAKE! CAKE! CAKE!”
My boyfriend laughed at me for hours. :o
Do not quote a famous funny man and use it as your own idea.

When I was a little kid my older brother would listen to a lot of 50s music. I spent my entire life, up until last year, thinking that the Tommy James & The Shondells song “Draggin’ The Line” was actually “Hangin’ Around”.
You’re not the only one. I also thought this was how it was sung. It makes sense, anyway and fits in with the song’s title.
Actually, if you want MY cite for this misheard lyric…where I originally heard it, you can have it. But I don’t think you’ll be impressed.
It was about 2:00 in the morning on a Saturday in 1993. A guy I was dating and two women and I were sitting in a campus bar (my university campus) and we started singing the wrong words purposely with the juke box. The guy I was dating (whose name I’ll keep private if that’s okay with you) came up with this line, which he said he’d received in an e-mail thing about mis-heard song lyrics.
It’s kind of rude to accuse people of plagiarism. I was unaware that something passed on in this manner needed a cite. Plus, I thought the story of how I heard the joke was a little boring.
I’m also fairly sure that this joke pre-dates Barry’s use of it. It’s been around for awhile.

When my daughter was aroung four or five she used to sing Tragedy as Crunchy Beast and whenever I tried to correct her (which wasn’t often because she did sound funny when she was singing it) she would insist I was wrong.
Hahahahahahaha! That reminds me of another one from my childhood (about which my sister still teases):
“Calling occupants…
of interplanetary,
quite extraordinary crust…”
The only ones of mine I can remember at the moment:
Rising like a lepress (you know, a female leopard) above the Serengeti (apparently, supposed to be “Rising like OLYMPUS above the Serengeti”) - Toto’s “Africa”
Communicate, or let your body be…
(we’ve already discussed what it’s supposed to be - I think mine makes more sense, too) - Fixx’s “One Thing Leads to Another”
From Jim - I’m like a bird, with slight rage…
(I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away…) -
Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird”
I always thought Chers “Gypsys, tramps and thieves” was "thieves, thieves, tramps and thiefs.
In Blondies “Rapture”, near the beginning of the song, it sounds like she says “finger fucking”. I thought that for years until I looked up the lyrics on the internet. The words are actually “finger popping”.
For a long time, I thought Bryan Adams “R-O-C-K in the USA” was “heart of the city in the USA”
And then when I was a small kid, I thought the lyrics to Jingle Bells were “one horse soap and sleigh”.
Oh god how I love Matthew Sweet. I think girlfriend and 100% are 2 of my fav albums of all time.
And I just can’t stop thinking something dirty at the end of Evangeline when he sings “so tell me how you want it, come one and tell me how you want it. Just tell me how you want it, you won’t be seen…” I always want to interject some “creative dialogue” in there.
so tell me how you want it [sub] who’s yer daddy, come one and tell me how you want it.[sub]you like it when I smack that ass, Just tell me how you want it, you won’t be seen…"
Um, Mermaid, I think your problem may run deeper than mishearing the lyrics…
I first heard “Renegades of Funk” as “Redneck Kings of Funk.” I immediately imagined this big burly guy, wearing a plaid flannel shirt, a crown and really cool sunglasses. He had a royal scepter in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Good thing I was in the car by myself, because I cracked up laughing
Oh no I heard those lyrics just right. I know Matthew wants me and wants me bad. Evangeline is just a pet name he created for me (screw the comic book). He is just so cool that way. That restraining order is just his way of saying. “Back off you crazy ass bitch before I have you arrested” What a kidder!
My own pesonal favorite is: “Jesus Christ, Superstar, Who in the world do you think you are?” I still have trouble remembering the correct lyrics.
I use to date a redneck king of f**…um nevermind.
I remember listening to the radio once when it was playing Van Halen’s “Panama”. My mom, being sort of indfamous for not listening to things correctly, heard the first part (where David Lee Roth yells out, “Panama!”) as “Grandma!”… she HAD to ask me why the people on the radio would be saying that! Never mind, Mom… you do not want to know!
Well, see, there ya go… all this time I thought it was “Rising like an EMPRESS.”
