For example, when I was a kid I thought that Huey Lewis, in the song "Heart of Rock and Roll" was saying " The Elbow may be barely breathin', but the heart of rock and roll, the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'...sing it to yourself and it makes sense.

I just thought of another one - When I hear "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant, I thought the chorus went :
Yah, We're gonna rock down to (Electric Avenue) and then we'll take the tires"
I thought it was a song about petty theives

My favorite is CCR - "there's a bathroom on the right" (bad moon on the rise).
If you love this stuff, you'll love this web site:

Even the name itself is one of the lyrics - from Purple Haze.
'scuse me, while I kiss this guy (its really kiss the sky).

The all time classic must be Jasper Carrot's take on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody: "Beelzebub's got a devil for a sideboard". The best misheard lyrics are the ones that make more sense than the real ones. In "Paint in Black", I'm sure Jagger sings "No more will my green seagull turn a deeper blue".

Oh fun!!
The Song - Daughter. The Artist - Pearl Jam.
The REAL line: the center of her own attention.
The line I heard : the center of a rhododendron.
I don't know. It never EVER made any sense to me, but I thought Eddie Vedder was being symbolic or something. :)

There was an '80s song by a group called the Cutting Crew called "I just died on your arms tonight". For some reason when I heard it the first time I thought he was saying "I just dined on your arms tonight". Bizarre but true.

The Manfred Mann song, Blinded by the Light.
He says, Blinded by the Light, wrapped up like a deuce, but it always sounds like douche no matter how many times I hear it.
That's pretty bad.

First line of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. For years I was convinced that Freddie Mercury was singing 'Is this the real life, or is this just Battersea'.

The Jessica Simpson song ''Public affair'' says ''all the cameras steppin out for a public affair'' but I thought it say all the girls steppin out for a brother cafe. ANd I found out other people think it sounds as if she said ''all the camels''.

I used to think that in the Beach Boys song, "Help me Rhonda", the first line was:
" Well since you put me down, there's been weasels living in my bed"
Mind you, I was only 7 at the time.
