As the title says, share your examples.
Bonus points if you've humiliated yourself singing the wrong lyrics in public.

Elton John - Tiny Dancer
What he said: "Hold me closer tiny dancer"
What it sounded like: "Hold me closer Tony Danza"
I think we all know who the man would be in that relationship.

Rod Stewart - Forever Young
What he said: "But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you, win or lose."
What it sounded like: "But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you, with a noose."
Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence, Emerson.

My friend Christina thought the Rolling Stones "You Can Start Me Up" was "Yugoslavia"

I have committed all of the following sins (loudly) in public:

The Cranberries "Free to Decide" I couldn't figure out if it was "Freakin' Inside" or "Frigid Inside" so I would alternate.

The Police "Message in the Bottle" I thought was "Message in the Bathroom"

Manfred Mann/Bruce Springsteen "Blinded by the Light" I thought "revved up like a deuce..." was "wrapped up like a douche..."

Yeah, I know. I'm retarded.

There's apparently circumstantial evidence that in a bunch of pictures she has a little nubbin protruding out down there. Maybe she has a large clit, maybe the clothes had a wrinkle there, but it does make you go hmmmmm........I haven't really looked into it because I don't give a Shakespeare about Lady Gaga, but that won't stop me from making fun of her dongle.

"Sergeant Larry? What are you talking about?"

"You know," he replies, singing "There goes my hero, he's Sergeant Larry."

Manfred Mann/Bruce Springsteen "Blinded by the Light" I thought "revved up like a deuce..." was "wrapped up like a douche..."

Actually it IS Douche. Springsteens version is Revved up like a deuce, Manfred Mann changed it to Douche. Watch Springsteen's Storytellers, he admits that is what they were saying and he doesn't know how it got changed.

As for me? My favorite that as a kid I INSISTED was correct (still do, come to think):

Bennie & The Jets by Elton John

I Heard: She's got electric Boobs, her ma has too.

He (allegedly) sings: She's got electric boots, a mohair suit.

Yesterday I saw some wrapping paper with illustrations depicting Christmas songs and the coordinating lyrics. I have been singing:

"Up on the rooftop reindeers paws"

According to the wrapping paper it's:

"Up on the rooftop reindeers pause"

I wasn't really thinking through the whole hoof thing.

Deep Purple:
Smoke on the Water:

They sing: Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Sounds like: Slow walking walter, fire engine guy

The local radio station rerecorded it with the alternative words.

When I was little my baby brother thought the lyrics to a song in The Music Man went, "76 trombones in the microwave".
