Do you have certain songs whose lyrics you badly misconstrue?

Question

E.G., "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of "Excuse me, while I kiss the sky."

Answer 3

Jim Croce's Bad Leroy Brown
Theres a line that says He's got a 32 gun in his pocket, he's got a razor in his shoe"
It's about a bad dude. For a long time when I was young I thought he was singing "He's got a raisen in his shoe"

Another one of Croce's goes:

You don't tug on Supermans cape,
you don't spit into the wind,
you don't pull the mask off the old lone ranger
and you don't mess around with Slim.

I thought he was singing "You don't piss into the wind" Made sense to me.
