What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

My wife’s childhood:

“My anus can’t take it I’m addicted to love”.

Robert Palmer.

Mine is when I sing, and I can’t remember what I say, but something like “kissing your neck, back, n’dem titties” to Labrinths Still Don’t Know My Name. Although I’m still fairly certain those lyrics to be correct 👍

My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica’s Battery was “backdoor raid”. Now I can’t unhear it.

I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, “give an Alabama yell” instead of “give the other feller hell.”

Israelites is a classic.

Me ears are alight.

Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was “My love has got no money, he’s got his trumbalyse” and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.

Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.

I can’t believe this is 15 years ago. Still hear these in the song today. youtu.be/VWqC4KKiVbU

I was once listening to The Pillows’ “I Think I Can” around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you’d never know through the singer’s heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing “I lick my cunt.”

That was 15 years ago and it’s still all I hear when I listen to the song.

At first I thought Post Malone was saying “swallow my knife” and not “spoil my night.”
