[Cactus Annie]

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

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

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'..."

 

[The Sad Punk]

Until recently, I honestly thought the "the best you can" lyric in Radiohead's Optimistic was "Mister Khan".

Mister Khan is good enough.

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!
