Or "Mondegreens" (there, happy now?). This may have been done before, but a thread search reveals nothing, so here goes:
We all know the classic ones, like "Scuse me while I kiss this guy," or "There's a bathroom on the right," but what song lyrics have you personally heard wrong or otherwise misinterpreted?
What brought this to mind was, I was listening to "Voices Carry" by Aimee Mann and 'Til Tuesday. Great tune, and I hadn't heard it in ages. And then I recalled that when it first came out, I could have sworn the chorus went: "Hush, hush, keep it down now, you're so scary."
How 'bout you guys? Any personal favorites?
