When Yothu Yindi sang "treaty, yes" I thought they were saying "tedious". When the song was over-played, I started to agree.
But my WORST was the Pretender's song Brass in Pocket, which I thought was 'hands in pocket", and made the whole song about self-gratification (ahem ! )

Debbie Harry (Blondie) brought out a song in the 80s called "Rush Rush". I always thought the chorus was 'flash flood on the Yeo' but I doubt if that was it. Still have no idea what the real lyrics are.

Eskimo Joe's song about pointing a finger or something.....
Apparently the correct verse is "I do not stand and point the finger" but for all the world it sounds like, and I merrily sing along to : "I dont understand the point of fingers"!
Also I once kept my family amused by singing: "I come from the Land of the Love" to that Aussie song that goes : "I come from the Land Downunder..where women (something) and men thunder..."

I was at a friends house one night when we decided to play some of our old CDs and sing along to them. I pulled out an old "Cold Chisel" cd and played "Cheap Wine". I started laughing my backside off when my mate and his wife started singing "cheap wine and a three legged goat" when the actual lyrics are "cheap wine and a three day growth". Ever since then, whenever I see them, I ask how the goat is going.

Okay, this is kind of related. My partner loves to change the lyrics on purpose (I just get them wrong all the time). Here's his version of Nelly Furtado's I'm Like A Bird...
I'm like a turd
I will not flush away
I just go round the bowl bit
I won't go down the hole bit.
Had me in hysterics for a while!

For a while I thought the Spice Girls were singing about Yam, Spam, or Ham. I guess they were singing "I am" and I was hearing the last sound before -am and making it one word. My husband had a great laugh at my expense!

The song "party like a rock star" it sounds like horny like a rock star(or a rock)it works though doesn't it.
"So sick". I thought it was so set in stone not so sad and slow.
"Slow Jamz" by Kanye West. I thought it was She said she wasn't ready for the world. "A bay bay". My sister thought it was White folks gansta in the club. I know right. So many. haha

Doby Grey's Drift Away....The song goes "give me the beat boy's and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll and drift away"...but I've heard countless people make up their own version for decades now...including myself, a rather simple "give me the peace boys" Cool question. There's alot out there. Ciao'
