Like you swore the lead singer sang something but it was just too weird, and it turned out it was something completely different?
Like I heard John Fogerty sing "There's a bathroom on the right" when it was suppose to be "There's a bad moon on the rise" in Bad Moon Rising
Examples?

I don't have that many of my own.. but my friends are LOADED with them..
I thought that Kyrie by Mr. Mister said "carrying a laser down the road that I must travel"
My BF thought Van Halen's Panama said Cannonball.
One friend thought Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, said Hey, Wait, I got a loop on my head.. and another friend swore it said Hey Wait, I got a wrist complain.
The "wrist complain" friend thought Alanis Morrisett's You Oughta Know, talked about a "Cross-eyed Bear that you gave to me" (instead of cross I bear)
One thought The Joker said "I really like your beaches wanna shake your breeze" and the same friend thought that Macy Grey song said "I want bubbles when you are not here" instead of "My world crumbles when you are not here"
I think there's more, but I gotta think about it..I'm too cracked up by some of the ones that are above me..lol.

The 2 most famous are 'Bad Moon Rising', and Hendrix's 'Purple Haze' ~ "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" {"kiss the sky"}.
Personaly :~
In A Broken Dream ~ Thunder
I thought it went "Decide my darling, decide where you must be. You people all you made with romantic love"
Then I heard the original, and found it actually is "Did someone bow their head. Did someone break the bread. Good people are in bed before nine o' clock".
Rain ~ The Cult
When I first heard it I thought the chorus went "I love Lorraine".

I actually recalled one during a question about Fugazi not too long ago...
Their song "Reclamation" has the lyric "Carry my body" that Ian MacKaye yells over and over at the end. I thought he was singing "you raped my bunny" - I still chuckle about it.
Spooky reminded me of how my dad used to sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - he was fond of putting a comic spin on songs he liked so he used to sing it as "Hey, wait I got some cheese to grate". I think that song in particular has a record breaking amount of misheard lyrics.

In the Stones song Mothers Little Helper, she does not burn and instigate. She buys an instant cake is how it actually goes...though, I was 10 when I made that mistake. Also Lola by the Kinks...I use to think it said "...in a *bathroom* voice she said Lola...", but of course it goes "...in a dark brown voice she said Lola..."

"Baking carrot biscuits" (taking care of business) by BTO
"Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (Purple Haze)
There's a book out about this.
In the 60s, when The Buckinghams sang "Kind of a Drag", I thought they were singing "Canada Dry" and my brother thought the Stones sang "Heartbreaker, with your bowling ball" instead of ".44".

When Will Smith's song "Gettin' Jiggy With It" came out, I thought he was singing "hit the chicken with it". I swear that's what it sounded like. My kids straightened me out tho. To this day I still sing 'hit the chicken with it' cos it's funnier.

Theres two recent ones... lol (this always happens to me)
Clothes Off! - Gym Class Heroes
I thought for a good while that it was :We have to take off those clothes...
when its actually:
We hav to take our clothes off.....
1 2 3 4 - Feist
I thought it was "old teenage hopes, alive at your door"
when it's "oh teenage hopes, arrive at your door"
though my misheard lyrics make more sense to me :) (for feist)
i heard that the most misheard song is "Your kiss is on my List" hundreds of people thought it was "your kiss is on my lips"
When i listened to it, i realized why
