I am sure these have been done (CBA looking throught the whole thread) but I will submit them anyway:

David Bowie, Suffragette City:
"Well, Himmler get off the phone"

Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze:
"'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Police, So Lonely:
"Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley"

The old ones are the best

Tina Turner, Private Dancer where she sings "Deutchmarks or Dollars, American Express will do nicely thankyou! "

When I was growing up I thought she was singing "Touch my sodollas," thinking she was singing about her lady lumps...

Oh god, I have another ovulation themed misheard lyric to add to the thread.

A Party Song (The Walk Of Shame) - All Time Low
Misheard: Mixed drinks, mixed feelings ovulation.
Actual: Mixed drinks, mixed feeling of elation.

The other one was Time Is Running Out by Muse: "Sense of elation". I too thought it was "Since ovulation". Someone posted it earlier in the thread, and I had been hearing the same thing until I saw that post. Elation seems to be a tricky word to pronounce in a song.

'Don't go around tonight.
Well it's bound to take your life.
There's a bathroom on the right.'

Bet you're all going to be singing these lyrics next time you watch American Werewolf in London.

An old school mate of mine used to sing along to Madonna's Dress You Up. She would sing 'dress you up in nylon' instead of 'dress you up in my love' Always has me in giggles when I hear the song.

Another one, Guns & Roses, Knocking At Heavens Door. I heard someone sing 'stop that knocking at Kevins door!!'

A mate of mine genuinely thought that Macy gray was singing: "I wear goggles when you are not here." instead of:
"my world crumbles when you are not here".

The Saturdays - Higher
In the chorus I don't know if they're singing "so you keep on messing up the words" or "so you keep on missing out the words" I thought it was messing up but I saw somewhere the lyrics were written as "missing out". Think it was a lyrics vid on Youtube.

Another Police song, Every Breath You Take. I always thought Sting sang 'I would break her legs', but he sings 'How my poor heart aches'! I only found that out about a year back!

In Ciara's song "1-2 Step" It sounds like she said "Strut my stuff and yes I farted" but she really said "Strut my stuff and yes I flaunt it"

This Ain't A Scene - Fall Out Boy

Misheard: This ain't a scene, it's a god damn horse race.
Real: This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race.

I never knew until I bought the album and saw the name. I remember it was getting played on the radio non-stop, and I thought, "this is a great song and all, but it makes no sense".

Bright Eyes - No One Would Riot For Less

I always thought he was singing 'help is coming... help is here'. Turns out it was 'help me out, Hell is coming, Could you do it now? Hell is here'.

Not one of mine, but was listening to Dixie and Gayle on Real Radio this morning and Dixie thought the line "I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight" in Shania Twain's That Don't Impress Me Much was "I don't believe you kiss your carpet knife"

The other Shania one that comes up regularly is No-One Needs To Know. "I met a tall dark and handsome man,and I've been busy making big plans" is often misheard as "I've been busy making meat flans".
