I mishear more and more with the passing years... but my two best date from a while ago:
Bohemian Rhapsody -"Spare him his life from these pork sausages!" (=Monstrosities - still can't hear it any other way though!)
and Tom Jones' 'Sex Bomb' -
"Infra-red semen shoots through the night..." (well it IS Tom Jones!!) I believe it's Infra-red, see me speed through the night...
ah well... ;¬)
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
