AC/DC "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap." I used to think they were saying, "Dirty deeds in the dunder jeep." I knew they were from Australia, and assumed a dunder jeep was some sort of Australian off-road vehicle driven around the outback.

More interestingly is when I get the lyric correct but someone hears something else. Something that actually makes sense, but I never heard it wrong:

In the song "Blue Monday" by New Order, the correct lyrics are: I see a ship in the harbor / I can, and shall, obey
My brother thought they were saying: I see a ship in the harbor / anchored in shallow bay

Though I myself never misheard this lyrics, his mishearing actually sort of made sense in context.

Theme to Good Times:

Actual:
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Misheard:
Keepin' your hand in the water,
Making your way when you can.

"I don't speak French, so I'll let the ****ing music do the talking, talking now...."

(It's "funky." Of course it's "funky".)

You and I should get along so awesomely?

People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

Peekaboo people, oh, why should it be?

So we're different colours
And we're different breeds

And we're different creeds

Now you sit there drinking Tom's Totts. (It's a brand of champagne.)

I'm the coliseum shrewd

A song which has been used on a lot of YouTube videos lately. The chorus has the line "Let me be myself," but I keep hearing the third word wrong....

Misheard and actual lyrics taken from the 1982 'Toto' song, 'Africa.'

Actual lyrics from Toto's Africa: "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti."

Misheard as: "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a lepress above the Serengeti."

Another notable feature with this awesome song (with the above lyrics). The lyrics seem quite wordy to read (let alone to sing) - yet these seemingly wordy lyrics were sung beautifully!
