    Kelly Clarkson - How I Feel. I know the actual lyrics are "Babies, everywhere I look" but it does sound like "Baked beans, everywhere I look" :D

    McFly - Litte Joanna. After the line "Little Joanna's like a lazer beam sky..." in the background they sing "Not through chlorine eyes" but it sounds like "Bathroom floor cleaner".
    I remember a presenter once on my local radio station telling us listeners to listen real good to one of the lines in the Shania Twain song 'That don't impress me much'. The part when she sings "I can't believe you kiss your car at night." Only thing it doesn't sound like she's singing that. It does sound like she's singing "I can't believe you kiss your coc* at night." Give it a listen.

    Ha, I thought it was "kiss your car goodnight" :D

    I used to think the chorus to Bad Romance was "you and me can have a barrel of laughs"...

    And in Lily Allen's The Fear "I don't know what's right in Rosville, anymore" ("I don't know what's right and what's real, anymore". I even Google-searched to find out where Rosville was!!)

    And of course, probably the biggest one there is... Rihanna "I want you to love me, like I'm a hot pie/guy/bride/ride (I still don't know what the real version is...?)

    Googling the lyrics brings up suggestions of it being any of those words! 'Hot ride' is the most common one though.

    Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell: "I'm a Cilla Black fan on a bike"

    In the song La Isla Bonita I can hear the correct lyrics very clearly but some people can hear Madonna singing 'young girl with eyes like potatoes' when it's actually 'eyes like the desert'.

    Also in the same song: once again I can hear the correct lyric 'last night I dreamt of San Pedro' but some hear 'last night I dreamt of some bagels'.

    Sounds like that to me, but I thought it would actually be 'eyes like pesetas'.:confused:

    I used to think it was ''i'm not from the rough stain'' then my friend pointed out it was ''not fond of asking'' was lik ooooh :D

    Also i swore Slidwinder sleppes tonight was ''calling chad baker'' :D

    Or calling Cheryl Baker :D

    The best I ever heard was from my friend's daughter. In the Elvis Costello song 'Oliver's Army' instead of 'Oliver's army is on it's way' she thought (someone in cafe) 'I'll have a sarnie' (waitress) 'It's on it's way', lol.
    Cliff Richard - Children singing Christian rhymes = Children singing crispy and white.
    Living in a Box - Room in your heart = Prune in your heart
    Celine Dion - the/my heart does go on = the hotdogs go on
    Shocking Blue/Bananarama - Goddess on a mountain top = Gladys on a mountain top
    Simply Red - (Fairground) Let's make amends like all good men should = Let's make a mince pie all good men should
    Another one but I can't remember singer or song, don't know what it should be - Shake your liver wah oo wah.

    Beverley Knight - Made It Back '99

    It sounds like "I don't need the world weeing down my shoulders"

    It's actually weighing.

    I was fond of some of their musical interpretations - Simply Red's 'Bunny Too Tight To Mention' (which had a little animated Mick Huchnall humping a rabbit:p) and George Micheal's 'Fat Slug' -'Fat slug in your eyes'. :p

    That's what it sounds like to me. See my post number 33 I think at one point she sings my heart does go on (rather than my heart will go on) that's where it sounds like the hot dogs go on.

    I always thought Rihanna - Only Girl WAS love me like a hot pie...

    Pretty sure she was making an American Pie reference too, hopefully that's not just my mind....

    I didn't mistake the lyrics but I always enjoy The Stereophonics song more when I imagine its "Have an arse day"

    Bananarama - Love In The First Degree

    For years, I heard "guilty as a kunkerbee" instead of "guilty as a girl can be" - "kunkerbee" sounded like some rare Australian animal to me (that I assumed exhibited signs of guilt over its behavior!).

    Janet Jackson - What Have You Done For Me Lately

    For years, I heard "so Barbara says, you've got one life to live" instead of "soap opera says, you've got One Life to Live." I thought she was referencing Barbara Walters (as a kid in the 80s, I figured that all of Walters' high-profile celebrity interviews made her worthy of being quoted!).

    TLC, Waterfalls - Don't go Jason Waterfalls (it should be Don't go chasing waterfalls)

    Beyonce, Crazy in Love - When I talk to my friend Jo Whiley (I don't know the real lyrics but I know my version isn't right!)

    Black Heart, Stooshe - He's big and he's black, I love it like that, mama he's the best I've ever had. (It should be He's big and he's bad, I love it like that, mama hes the best I've ever had)

    That is funny, I just had to listen to it! Apparently the real line is "When I talk to my friends so quietly", although that doesn't make a lot of sense. I prefer your version anyway!
