Like Anyone, I've had my share of misheard lyrics to songs. Like most everyone, there are some seriously mangled ones:
1) The Beatles - Think for Yourself - 'Although your mind's opaque' became 'although your mind's okay'.
2) Roxy Music - Editions of You - 'learn from your mistakes is my only advice' became 'learn from your mystics is my only advice'. I like my lyric better!
3) The Jeffersons theme song - This is without a doubt my worst misheard lyric and thusly, the funniest. I don't know how my ears heard this, give it a listen next time you hear it and tell me it doesn't sound a little like it. the lyric 'Long as we live, it's you and me baby, ain't nothing wrong with that' became 'long sweet lips chewing me baby, ain't nothing wrong with that.' Some one pointed out to me that I was incorrect when I was about 19. I wouldn't read too much into the error, I just figured, as some naive suburban kid that it was something over my head, ebonics or jive whatever...
I am sure there are other misheard lyrics that I forget or that I am unaware of...more to come, I'm sure. Those are all I can think of for now.
