"The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker is a classis of misheard lyrics, find it on Youtube and sing along:

Get up in the morning
Baked beans for breakfast
Sodat every monk and beef head

Oh Oh Me ears are alight!! !!

I found this the other day and thought it was hilarious. Good song in its way but the "real" lyrics are considerably worse! :)

"Every Breath You Take", by the Police:

Actual Lyrics:

Every claim you stake,
I'll be watching you.

What I thought it was:

Every clean you stink,
I'll be watching you.

I'm always doing this with songs. I cite "The Heart of Rock and Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News. I thought "The heart of rock and roll is still beating" was "The heart of rock and roll is forbidden". :lol:

I thought the first hit by Marley was "Celia, my darling. Celia".

It was "Stir it up,my darling, stir it up." Or "Steeer it up" as Marley pronounced it.

Then there are deliberate Mondegreenisms when you get sick of songs- but you risk pissing off others who still love the song. Ive been on both sides of that.

At work in the late 80's I got sick of "Our love's in Jeopardy, baby" for the zillionth time on the office radio and broke out into " I lost on jeapordy, baby!". A coworker whined that he "used to like that song, and now youve ruined it for me."

Likewise, I heard "The Love I Lost" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes on the car radio. After the song the deejay ( Tom Joyner, no less) jumped on the end of the song singing "the Glove I Lost" - I was ready to kick Joyner's ass!
