White Riot - The Clash
Misheard: White Riot, I wanna riot, White riot , a riot in a hole
Actual: White Riot, I wanna riot, White riot , a riot of my own

The Love you save - Jackson 5
Misheard: The way they talk about you they'll turn your name to turd
Actual:The way they talk about you they'll turn your name to dirt

My brother always used to think it was Wonderwalls lyrics were:
Misheard:'Maybe you're gonna be the one at Sainsburys'
Actual: 'Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me'

London Calling - The Clash
Misheard:'Cept for the rain of the 20th day'
Actual:'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing'

I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers but sometimes cause Anthony Kiedis' accent is so strong I get lots of misheard lyrics

Californication
Misheard:'Hail Sergeant Berry want to break the spell of ageing.
Actual:'Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of ageing'

By The Way
Misheard:'Skip that disk she's slutty little dj'
Actual:'Skin that flick she's such a little dj'

I never knew what The Counting Crows were singing in Big Yellow Taxi for the longest time. I thought it was
'They paid paradise and put up a parking light'
'They paved paradise and put up a parking lot'

When I was a kid, I used to watch Abba Gold on video, and when Super Trouper used to come on I thought the line was- I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesco.

Turned out it was Glasgow, not Tesco...

I thought (at first) Alexandra's 'broken heels' was "Whatever comes around baby i'll take the biggest c*ck". In many ways it still sounds like that

Also, "My arms are stabbed" in Amy Winehouse's 'back to black' when infact its "my odds are stacked"

Auld Lang Syne

Like someone mentioned early on I wasnt sure what they were saying in Prefab Sprout's King of Rock n Roll song I always used to think it was
Hot Dog Jumping frog, Albert Cookie lol I don't know who Albert Cookie is, I was imagined him to be a Profesor. It should be Albuquerque.

I thought that David Guetta song was 'Sexy Kitten'

Someone else said earlier about that Nightcrawlers song, I always thought he was saying 'We were lied to again, they lied to us', I still have no idea what he really is saying though.

In the song Apologize by OneRepublic my little bro always thought the guy sung
It's too late to call a job
when really it's 'too late to apologize' , no idea how he heard that haha.

And the song Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers I have absolutely no idea what he is singing, its sounds like jibberish to me although I love that song.

I had a friend who thought Underpass by John Foxx was called Underpants.

On Tom Robinson's Warbaby, the lyric All this stabbing and wounding - only getting my own back often sounds like All this stabbing and wounding - only getting my own bath

Mant years ago, a radio one DJ (Simon Mayo, I think) had listeners calling in with their favourite misheard lyrics, and since then, I cant listen to Billie Jean without hearing

" for forty days and forty nights I was on the cider"

Cant quite believe these two are not on here yet...firstly the saturday's "issues" I used to think it said: "Don't know if i should stab you or kiss you!"- It's actually slap.

Secondly my personal favourite- Gala, freed from desire. Hand's up who else though it said, my love has got his money he's got his trumbelis? and not his "Strong beliefs" as the case may be...used to sing that at the top of my voice!!

I always used to get confused about "The Man Who Can't Moved" by The Script.

It reallllly sounds like he's saying:
"One day you'll wake up and find the jaundice in me,
When your heart starts to wonder where all the stir-fry can be"

The Corrs - Only When I Sleep
"..it's moving from within, and clutches at my breast"
I only recently found out she is actually saying "breath" after 15 years lol.

I used to think it was "why I'm seeing."

I also thought When Love Takes Over by Kelly Rowland was "the winner takes over."
