U2 - Kite

Misheard: "There's a cat blowing out of control in the breeze.":lmao:

Right lyrics: "There's a kite blowing out of control in the breeze."

oh yes

Amy Winehouse - You Know Im No Good - that song

she sings

'ya say what did ya do with him today
and sniff me out like I was Tanqueray'

I thought it was

'ya say what did you do with him today
and sniff me out like I was Thai Curry'


:D

also in Back to Black

she sings -'Its not enough, I love Blow and you love Puff'

I thought it was 'I love Gold and you love Pearls'

:wink:
 
I find my mum's interpretation of songs really funny.
eg:
on Beyonce's Irreplaceable where she sings:

To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left


she thought she said:

To the left, to the left
Everything I like is in the box to the left :wink:

And on Lilly Allen's LDN where she sings:

Summer's in the sky
Oh why, Oh why

She thought that it goes:
L to the I, and the I to the L, L to the Y
Oh why:wink:

Bless her. She has a narrow ear cannel so every couple of years she has to go to the doctors to have her ears syringed due to the accumulation of ear wax. These songs were out just before she was due for her next syringing. Everytime I go around her house she always has the volume on the TV turned up really loud!
 
As a kid, I always messed up the lyrics to "Beast of Burden" by The Rolling Stones.

I misheard the "Ill never be your beast of burden..." part--I thought it was "I'll never leave your pizza burnin'..." :doh:

I can think of a few from Michael Jackson. The guy was always a bit hard to understand.

Billy Jean


Actual: She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene
then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Misheard: She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene
and heavy hit him with ice cream he is the one

Actual: And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth
Misheard: Be careful of what you do when love comes true

Man In The Mirror
Actual: see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Misheard: see the kids on the street, that I'd love to eat

Smooth Criminal
Actual: Annie are you OK?
Misheard: Annie are you walking?

Beat It
Actual: No one wants to be defeated
Misheard: No one wants to beat it, beat it

I'm sure there's tons more just from him!
