One of my favorite songs and the misheard lyrics....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLd22ha_-VU

Here are the REAL Words:
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said I wanna leave it again.
Once I saw him on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand; I wanna leave it again.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again.
And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.
I said i don't know whether i'm the boxer or the bag.
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
I see them round the front way. Yeah.

And I know, and I know. I don't want to stay.
Make me cry...

I see... Ooh I don't know why there's something else.
I wanna drum it all away...
Oh, I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag."

Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't wanna stay at all.
I don't wanna stay. Yeah.
I don't wanna stay. (x2)

Oh...

I always misheard the lyrics from "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight."

I always thought it was "I'm not talking bout my linen..."

I googled this, and it turns out there were lots of us.

Just had a fun one of these with my daughter who is very serious about her music right now.   The song lyrics are "Party like a Rock Star."  What I heard and what she is still young enough to appreciate was "Potty like a Watch Dog."

From Alice In Chains:

The real lyrics are:
Here they come to snuff the rooster.

But they misheard them as:
Yeah, they come to sniff the rooster.

Uhh..what is it?!  And what in the world are the real words to Blinded by the Light?  I heard it the other day and I knw I had read the real lyrics somewhere but no matter how hard I tried I could only hear, "wrapped up like a douche another runner in the night."

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
It's by The Manfred Mann's Earth Band

P.S. I used to sing it that way too

Probably the most hilarious thing ever is the tape that my parents have of me singing along to the David Lee Roth cover of "I'm Just a Gigolo" when I was maybe 4 or 5. I actually sing most of the correct lyrics, but of course I don't know what a gigolo is, so it's just funny!

I used to think that the line from Sleeping Beauty's "Once Upon a Dream" was instead of:

"and I know it's true that visions are seldom what they seem"

was actually

"and I know it's true that PIGEONS are seldom what they seem". Very funny.

I always thought that Morrissey was singing about his "Girlfriend in Pacoima" (A Suburb of Los Angeles) when in fact, his girlfriend was really "In A Coma"

Morrissey just needs to cheer up. Maybe someone can give him a cookie

I'm not talking 'bout moving in.

And what does "revved up like a deuce" mean?  It sounds like the singer is constipated or something.

Actually, it's written and originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen. But MMEB had the hit with the cover.

Bruce said, "The original lyric is 'cut loose like a deuce' referring to a two seat hot-rod, a little deuce coupe.

How about from CCR..

"There's a bad moon on the Rise"....

misheard as

"There's a bathroom on the right"

Or from the song "drift away"

Gimmie the beach boys and free my soul...

instead of

Gimmie the beat boys and free my soul...

From the song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers.

My girlfriend, when she was younger, used to hear the 'DaDa Da Da's as 'Pterodactyl.'

That's how I'll always sing it now
