When I was younger and we had no internet to tell us the lyrics of our favourite songs we had to listen and sometimes got them wrong.
Here's a couple of mine.
"Every time you go away,you take a piece of meat with you" by Paul Young and " sue Lawley " by the police.
Any more?
 
Peter Kaye did a hilarious routine on this subject a few years ago. Misheard Lyrics

The one that used to confuse me was Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes: 'And she'll tease you, She'll unease you, Haul a bathtub just to please you.'
 
Not an amusing one, but one that everyone mishears is in This Charming Man by The Smiths. The line that lots of people hear as “jumped up country boy” is actually “jumped up pantry boy”
