You know the sort of thing, "Gordon Brown, texture like sun" etc.
I'll offer:
"...Where we once watched the [b]robots[/b] landing
By the broad, majestic Shannon"

my 7 year old was singing along to Kings of Leon on the radio the other day...
Whoaaaa, the sunset's on fire...
From the old hymn
"Gladly, my cross-eyed bear"
...lead us not into temptation, but deliver us on eagles, for thine is the kingdom...
Woah, we're going to eat pizza:
🙂
"Snap my picture" instead of "smack my bitch up". (Not me....)
Massage in a brothel

Mum used to sing 'Save the whales, save the whales, save the whales' while Enya sang 'Sail away, sail away, sail away'
Yes - "Owner of a horse and cart"

Tori Amos - Professional Window - I could not understand her singing at all. So "Honey bring it close to my... lips yes" sound to me like "Are you bringing your toaster Mike... yeah"
Weird
My ex Brother-in-law would sing "What's a dove got to do with it.." to the famous Tina Turner tune.
Old hymn sung at school...
"I am the lord of the dance settee"
or...
"Oh cinnamon, where will you run to"
You can tell I took a lot from the religious background of my primary school 🙂
My sister-in-law went to a record store and asked for "My name is Drew" by Elvis Costello.
If you know the song 'Old King', from Neil Young's Harvest Moon album, you'll be aware that the dog being sung about, King, was not afraid of jumping off the 'Trockenheim Pier'.
Well. I thought he wasn't.
The truth is though, he was even less afraid of jumping off the 'truck in high gear'!
Ah mondegreen's... high hilarity they are 😀
'cheap wine and three legged goat' (it's a Jimmy Barnes song yeah? 😀 )
'Dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief' (ACDC)
'Theres a bathroom on the right' (Creedance)
REM Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Calling Jamaica instead of Calling To Wake Her
The Jam
Eat your rifle.

Best EVER 🙂
I am convinced that Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) keeps shouting 'Soap thieves!' in Rear View Mirror.
Its claimed he's actually singing 'Saw things...(so much clearer)', but I'm not so sure.
😐
Reverend Bluejeans...Neil Diamond.
I've just listened it to on youtube and I'm still not convinced! 😉
My kids used to sing along with Fatboy Slim 'Carol Smiley is naughty, naughty, naughty'
At school we used to sing hymns in praise of the 'Prince of Piss' and in fact I think I've met him a few times since then.
Depeche mode - Policy of truth
for years i thought it was "The Coliseum Roof"
Pappa dont preach - Madonna
Mate thought she was singing about a "puppet on a bridge"
Was always convinced Elvis Costello was singing "I was always here to stay" and wondered why the song was called "Oliver's Army". I mean mishearing lyrics is one thing but mishearing the lyric that's also the song title...no excuse 😳
I try to say goodbye and I choke,
I try to walk away and I stumble,
Though I try to hide it, it's clear,
I BLOW BUBBLES WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE??????
Can't for the life of me think who sang it - black girl with very frizzy hair, 4-5 years ago?
Billy Bragg also used to do a small intro to 'Greetings to the new Brunette' live about someone who'd misheard the lyric and had it down as
"I'm more impressionable, when my semen is wet" And as Billy points out - who isn't?
Theotherjohn, I think you'll find it's "I WALK WOMBLES WHEN YOU ARE NOT NEAR" and it was Macy Gray 😉
My step-daughter was convinced that Elton John was singing "are you ready for lunch?" and we didn't have the heart to tell her she was wrong as her version was better.
"scuze me while I kiss this guy"
there used to be a website called "kissthisguy.com" which was full of these things. Don't know if it's still around
the one that makes me laugh every time i think of it for its surreal genius is the chorus from the U2's classic - Mysterious Whale:
"Shamoo the mysterious whale" 😆
I thought on Reward, Julian Cope was singing "Where's my cotton socks, I'm in the nude"
Joy Division Albumn called Still, there's a track called 'Living in the Ice Age'. For a while I thought the chorus was 'Iddly Iddly Ighty', then I worked out for a while it was 'Living in the Eighties', before I bothered to read the play list on the back of the Albumn and realised the correct chorus was 'Living in the Ice Age'. This progressed over the course of about 5 years.
