Misheard song lyrics

Do you have any songs that you've completely misunderstood the lryrics to?

I have a lot of them actually.  One goes back to when I was just 4 or so to song Billy Jean by MJ.  I used to swear he said "but the chair's not my son."  I never understood why he would even think a chair is his son.  I still prefer to sing it this way too.  The whole song didn't make sense when I was that young though.

Margaritaville is another.  I think line is "I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top" Until a few months ago I always thought the line was- he stepped on a pop tart,  my bf corrected me and said that didn't make any sense... how would he blow out a flip flop on a pop tart..

I said it makes about as much sense as a chair not being MJ's son.

Anniversary

    My sister thought that the line in "Jessie's Girl" was "I wish that I was Jessie's Girl" instead of had, which makes no sense at all.  It was years ago, but I still laugh every time I hear that song.

    FI says Beyonce sounds like she is saying "All the single lettuce, all the single lettuce."

    Lady Gaga's Pokerface sounds like puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, pokerface, butt, buttfucker face.

    Also, FI thought Bullett Proof was "Burning through!" He was like, I really don't get why she's singing Burning Through on a song called Bullet Proof.

    I get lyrics wrong on the daily.

    OneRepublic's song It's Too Late to Apologize...my BFF listened to it aaaaall the time when we were roommates, and through the walls it sounded like "It's too late to form a child."  That's all I hear now when that song is on.  

    I don't know how my brain came up with those lyrics, but I'm still entertained by it years later.

    The song "Loser" by Beck. I always thought the words were "I'm a lizard, baby, so why don't you kill me." This always totally made sense to me because lizards freak me the fuckk out.

    My most recent one that I totally misheard was Taio Cruz "Dynamite" when he says "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin a-yo, gotta let go." I seriously thought he said "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin a-yo, Galileo." FI and I still sing the song that way.

    But the one that ALWAYS cracks me and FI up is the misheard lyrics of Wishmaster:

    However, instead of fish-master (suppose to be Wishmaster) he and I hear Danish mustard.

    Ugh... not sure if my last post went through - it isn't showing on my screen so sorry if I double post this:

    My most recent misheard lyrics are to "Dynamite" when he says "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin' a-yo, gotta let go." I always hear "a-yo, Galileo." FI and I still sing it like this too. Haha.

    But our favorite of ALL times are the misheard lyrics to Nightwish - Wishmaster:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ
    However, instead of Fish-master (suppose to be wishmaster) we hear Danish Mustard.

    Watch it, you'll find it hilarious if you don't mind Rock Opera.

    I thought Kaiser Chiefs "I predict a riot" was "I have got tourettes." It doesn't make sense at all but my mom sung the same lyrics, so I don't know who came up with it first.

    BF's bother thought that "It's too late to apologize" was "It's too late to call the giant". BF and him heard that song in the car one day and he just turned to him and said "What giant are they calling? I don't understand this song". BF just looked at him like WTF are you talking about?

    My best friend thought the Pussy Cat Dolls song that says "When I grow up I wanna have groupies" said "When I grow up I wanna have boobies"

    HA!  I totally thought it said lizard too for the longest time!

    Billie Jean used to throw me when I was young..I thought he said Billie Jean is not my mother..I didn't get how she could be his mother.

    I do this all the time. I thought "Radar Love" was "Red Eye Love" which actually kind of almost made sense until my parents corrected me when I was in high school.
    Also, slightly different but I can't listen to "American Pie" without hearing Weird Al's "Soon I'm Going to be a Jediiiiii"

    My friend always thought that the old David Lee Murphy song "There might be a little dust on the bottle" was "My feet have a little dust on the bottom" Haha! It still makes me laugh.

    Oh these are funny!!!

    The first time I heard It's Too Late to Apologize I thought he said, "It's too late to super size."  I was so confused.
