I'm driving home today and I hear 'Ironic' by Alanis Morisette (I always say the only thing "Ironic" about the song is that nothing she mentions is actually ironic, it's just bad luck or coincidence...). When the song first came out I thought the lyric was "An old man, turned and he ate". Now I know it's that he "turned 98" but it doesn't matter, when I hear the song, I hear "an old man, turned and he ate". I also hear "poophead" instead of "oooh babe" in Def Leppard's "Hysteria" (Mr. B hears "In-sin-you-ee" instead of "say you will" in the same song--it's rife with misheard lyrics, I think) and I still think of "dirty deeds and the thunder chief" when I hear AC/DCs "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap". My favorite though, is that I thought they said "When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled 'Hot dog! Go!" instead of "Cotton Eye Joe" in "If you're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)". Yes, misheard lyrics are a funny thing. The website http://www.kissthisguy.com is always good for a laugh (and to know you're not alone in the misheard lyric department)

From the Beach Boys Kokomo: it's "to the rhythm of a steel drum band," not, "to the rhythm of a ceiling fan." Hard for a Minnesota girl in the middle of winter to imagine the former!
In the early 90's, my then 7 year old cousin thought Vanessa Williams "...went and saved the best for Lance." I'm not quite sure who Lance was.
