Mis-interpreted lyrics....

The Knack ,My Sharona. I don't know why but I heard rice aroni for some reason. It must have been from working at the electric furnace at the steel mill.
 
Bob Rivers actually has that song on Youtube.

"Havein' trouble with your barnyard friends
You got a thing for ewes... "

First time I heard it I about spewed my coffee!

:D

Bob Rivers also did "Cat in the Kettle", done to the tune of Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle".

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon...
 
The Who's 'Emminence Front' sounds like they're saying 'Living in Funk.'

The song has been making the rounds as a GM commercial lately. Might not be the image GM was going for...,
 
When I was a kid, I had a friend who thought part of the lyrics in "Jingle Bells" were "oh what fun it is to ride in one whore's open sleigh".

Another variation:

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the batmobile lost its wheel and the joker got away.
 
Anyone remember, Hotel California? It took me forever to finally realize what they said about: stab that beast with a steeley knife-thang. I can't repeat what I had thought it said.

The other is from Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship. From the song, Jet Airliner. I could swear the line that said: ''that funky ship going down in the city'' actually used another word for ship. 10 cookies if y'all can figgered what that word is? :D

That's from Steve Miller. He DOES say "that" word. It gets bleeped on the radio...
 
Kids in the Hall skit..

No one has mentioned the song who's ACTUAL lyrics are, "revved up like a deuce"!

Yep, we all know that one!

Kids in the Hall (or the Vacant Lot) one of those troupes did a skit with guys playing cards when a guy sing 'Blinded By the Light' to himself and they start a big argument and everybody has the words wrong until one guy that knows the right words gets really steamed and storms out. One of the guys says, "Boy, he's hot under the colander."
 
The Clash: "Rock the Casbah" sounded like bleeping the Casbah.

CCR: "Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; can't be beat."
 
One of the funniest lyrics spoofs I've seen is this one of the Bee Gee's How Deep is Your Love.... It really does sound like they are singing the silly lyrics like "lettuce pee".

I was backstage once talking with the Violent Femmes after a show. My friend told them that she loved their song "Black Knowledge". They busted out laughing because the song and lyrics are "Lack of Knowledge". The word switch made sense to her because the lead singer was known to only date African American women. We all had a good laugh and they thought her interpretation was funny.

I thought L.A. Woman's first line was "Took a little down about an hour ago."
I was shocked when I found out that "Sock it to Me, Baby" doesn't have any obscene lyrics.
 
My late father in law used to think "Who Wrote the Book of Love" was "Who shot the Moo Cow Now".
