The beginning of "Without You" by Harry Nilsson (covered by Mariah Carey) says "I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving" and I heard someone say "I can't forget the semen on your face as you were leaving". He wasn't joking either, he really thought those were the lyrics.
And on the song "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday I always hear people say "This is scary".
And instead of "Hold me closer, tiny dancer" "Hold me closer Tony Danza"
lol. "Smoke on the Water" was deemed as "Slow Cousin Walter".
Someone told me about this one: "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Go's - sounds like "Harlots of Steel" - lol.
In the song 'Bad Moon Rising' by Creedence Clearwater Revival, the lyrics "There's a bad moon on the rise" sounds like "There's a bathroom on the right"
instead of seduce me tonight
my friend was singing it
so juicy tonight
My favorite is from the Beatles' "Michelle". The lyrics are French and go "Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble" which means These are words that go together well. Anyways, I've heard it misquoted as "Sunday monkey don't play piano songs" LOL!
There's also "A girl with kaleidoscope eyes" from Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. It's notoriously misquoted as "the girl with colitis goes by". Colitis is a medical condition. =)
When I here the song Touch You Touch You by Hot Hot Heat, I hear "I wanna touch your tattoo, touch your tattoo."
