When I asked a buddy why he didn't like Matthew Good Band's "Suburbia", he said it was because he felt odd about the line "Baby if I was into men, you would be mine".
the last line in Paranoid by Black Sabbath reads "I tell you to enjoy life/ I wish I could but it's too late". It was often misheard as "I tell you to end your life". That started a few arguments for a teenaged Puppet Guy.

When I was a kid I used to hear most songs wrong.
Gary Wright's Dreamweaver was Big Beaver at a time when it meant the animal, not the other.
The Scorpions "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane" was orginally heard by me as "Sandwich man, wrap me up in cellophane"
Another Brick In the Wall's "No dark sarcasm in the classroom" was "No Dukes Of Hazzard in the classroom"
I am sure I will think of more.
My younger self thought it was, she's so popular or she's so f---ing ????
Up until I read this post, I thought it was "she's so popular".
In the "What songs can you sing" thread, someone mentioned We Built This City by Starship, and I was reminded that I used to think the lyric "Marconi plays the mamba" was "My pony plays the mamba".

"My ****'s all ****** from you're *******"

Of course who hasn't misheard "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? My version I heard was....
"When my wife's high, it sustains us. Here we are now, in my anus. I feel stupid, and contagious, here we are now, in my anus. I'm a lion, I'm on fire, a mosquito, with labido...YEAH!
To this day I have no idea what the lyrics to that song really are.
