The Year of the Cat by Al Stewart
"Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket So you have to stay on"
I hear the lyrics as:
Well morning comes and you're still with her And the BOSTON tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice OF LOBSTER ticket So you have to stay on"
I was trying to understand how he ended up from an exotic locale to the city of Boston and what the hell was a lobster ticket. I recently acquired the album and read the lyrics and went, Aah. That makes sense now.

There may be a few who will find it interesting that mishearing or misinterpreting song lyrics actually has a name: Mondegreen. From Wikipedia:
[quote]A mondegreen is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954, writing that as a girl, when her mother read to her from Percy's Reliques, she had misheard the lyric "layd him on the green" in the fourth line of the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl of Murray" as "Lady Mondegreen".

I thought the lyrics to Donna Summer's "Heaven Knows" were:
Baby, please, please don't take your love from me.
I am yours forever more.
'Til they turn us in.
For some reason, I thought it was a song about felons in love and on the run.

Prince - Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?
Actual first line: There's some talkin' goin' 'round town, that you really don't give a damn.
What I heard for years: There's some Tropical Wonton, but you really don't give a damn.

Someone I know, that wasn't very bright, misheard lyrics from Man in the Box;
"Feet my eyes; can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny her make-up
He who tries will be wasted
Feeeet my eyes
Now you've sewn them shut"
I had to explain to her that it was FEED my eyes, not "feet, my eyes" and that it was "deny your MAKER", not "deny her make-up"
This was back in the nineties when we were little kids, but still...she hasn't gotten much better since then.

“Here we are now, in containers”
“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you”

“I like big butts in a can of limes”
“Wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night"
“I got my first real sex dream...”
“The girl with colitis goes by"
"The algebra has a devil put aside for me"
“Like a virgin, touched for the thirty-first time"
"She's got electric boobs and mohair shoes"
“I just died in your barn tonight"
“There’s a bathroom on the right"
"take my horse to a hotel room"
"Take me down to prairie-dog city"
"I've got shoes, they're made of plywood"
"The sheep don't like it, rockin' the cat box"
“Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove"
“I've got two chickens to paralyze"

In the Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me," I thought the lyrics were:
"It's no use
He sees her.
He starts to shake his cock."

Kylie Minogue's "Wow:"
The way you walk
The rhythm when you're dancing
Every inch of you smells of desire.
