YOur Personal Misheard or Incorrect Lyric Favorites
The one I can't ever stop singing is this from Sara McLachlan's Posession:

Re: YOur Personal Misheard or Incorrect Lyric Favorites
My sister has this book that's called:
Excuse me, while I kiss this guy. It's about misheard lyrics. Pretty darn funny to read how wrong some people are about lyrics.

There's a lot for me... then when I find out the right way, I'm
 There was something on VH-1 or MTV a few years back and a lot of some misheard lyrics can be attributed to accents. Like "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos - in Australia they heard it as "Alice the Seal". "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana I got pretty much all wrong!

Re: YOur Personal Misheard or Incorrect Lyric Favorites
This isn't one of my own, but when I first met my wife I had a CCR cd and was listening to Bad Moon Rising and she confessed that as a 'kid' [we were 17 and 15 respectively at the time] she thought the lyrics we're

Remember Quiet Riot's - Come on Feel the Noise?
It sounded like to me "Come on to Illinois". Egg. On. Face.

Re: YOur Personal Misheard or Incorrect Lyric Favorites
Bobbi Brown's "Every Little Step I Take":
My friend had an interesting way to sing it. Instead of "No matter what your friends try to tell ya..." He sang, "No matter if you're a french fry taker..." I'm not sure what that means, but we all lost it upon hearing it.
