A misheard lyric is called a "mondegreen", by the way, which is what Tiger Woods says on his cell phone. There are plenty of explanations of that on the web. Some of mine: For the longest time I thought Elton was singing "She's got electric boobs". You probably know the song. Funny there is a lot of similar imagery in this thread. anybody recognize these? "I'm not talkin' bout the linen and I don't want to change your life." big hit "I see a bathroom on the right." another big hit "Wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night." HUGE hit I get annoyed when people present the classic "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" ones as their own. I'm only interested in what people actually misheard on their own. I think I understand what you are implying. Maybe I should point out that I heard these "classic ones" in the same way that everyone else did. Does that annoy you as well?

1. If I Had My Way - Big Sugar.
Coming home from a get-together for work, that song played on the radio.
I don't think one of the guys had ever heard this song before. He asked aloud, "Did he sing 'if I had my weed'"?
Now, knowing it is "If I Had My Way", I haven't been able to hear "way" since he said that.
Later on that week, that song played on my way home from work. I laughed.

2. Machinehead - Bush
Someone called into the radio station about this subject (misheard lyrics). One guy called, and said "Guaranteed you'll never be able to hear this the same way again."
Got a mushy head.
He's right - I haven't heard it the same way since.

I can't recall if I heard "dirty deeds and they're done with sheep" before or after reading about it.

“Pissing the night away” - Chumawumba Weren't Chumbawamba actually singing 'pissing'? Because I saw Jumpin' Jack Flash when I was young and stupid, I genuinely thought Jagger was singing 'I was raised by two lesbians'.

I used to think Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" was saying "Like a TWISTER I was born to walk alone".

"Hello world, I'm your royal girl" - The Runaways, "Cherry Bomb" (Can't actually tell if it should be "wild" or "riot")

I don't know about funny, but I was just listening to Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" and still mishear:
Darius sits by the bedside table.

No Doubt - Spiderwebs
Actual line: "I gotta screen my phone calls."
What I heard: "I'm gonna scream my bones off."

I was only about eight years old when this song was in the top 40, so I always thought it was funny when, at the beginning of Tom Jones' song "She's a Lady," he sings "She's a wiener!" (She's a winner).

I wouldn’t really call this a funny lyric, but in “One of These Nights” by The Eagles when he says “I can feel her but she’s nowhere in sight” I used to think it was “I can see her but she’s nowhere in sight”, which I actually like better as a lyric.

These are ones I actually thought were the real lyrics initially. “It’s good to warm my balls beside the fire” - Home (Pink Floyd) "I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up" - Sunshine of Your Love (Cream) “Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger” – Turning Japanese (The Vapors) “You’re an all gas-o-matic” – Orgasm Addict (Buzzcocks) "Baby you can't hide your lion eyes" – Lyin’ Eyes (Eagles) "Streets are run, even when you're down" – People are Strange (The Doors) Others I just twisted. “Count the head lice on the highway” – Elton John “I ain't a Martian anymore” - Phil Ochs "Oh, a storm is threat'ning, library life today" - Rolling Stones "Tears in my sperm, while I'm waiting for my turn" - Bob Marley “Pissing the night away” - Chumawumba “You better get your bags and flea” - Simon & Garfunkel . Actually, I'm pretty sure "Pissing the night away" is the real lyric.
