What are your favourite misheard lyrics?

I like

BOOM BOOM POW
(Got a kit kat)
BOOM BOOM POW
(got a kit kat)

and

I don't think you're ready for fish jelly
I don't think you're ready for fish jelly
I don't think you're ready for fish
Is my body too bootylicious for ya babe?

and

I wanna rock and roll all night
and part of every day
(cause y'know, moderation!)
 
Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.



Instead of,

"'SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY"

You can, potentially, hear:

"'SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THIS GUY"

The K-Pop ones are pretty good. ^^
 
Anything screamo is misheard. You can't understand any of that garbage. My cousin plays it and I have her turn it off within minutes because I can't understand anything they're saying.

When if first heard "Sounds of Silence," I thought they kept saying "Sounds if Science."

I think it's probably a thing where you have to listen to it a lot until you're used to it and then it's easier to understand
 
It is in german though but maybe the pictures are helping!
 

"I could beat off a guy." I can't hear any other lyric besides this one.

The Swedish version of Caramelldansen.
Clean Mondegreen:

Dance on meatballs,
Cat stuck in a handbag
Yours only yours
Walrus tickle dance pad
It's no lie
Lisa in the crowd said
"look Henry had a Vagina Malfunction"

Yeah...
The Mondegreen can be a lot dirtier.

Just replace "eyes" with "ass" in any American song.

"I buried Paul."
 
What. No nightwish?


As someone who has never heard this song, I has to say, this is waaay to entertaining to ever check out the original lyrics xD
 
I mishear a lot of things if there aren't subtitles provided. Stupid bad hearing. A couple of my favorites:

"Feeling so fly like a G6." ---> "Feeling so fried like a cheese stick."

"Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits." ---> "Empower my cabbage while you die like rabbits."
 
I like this one.

I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my sister moan.


and the "What the Fuck, Zane!?"
 
Replace "Panzer Batallion" with "Handsome Italian"
