Did you ever mishear something in a song, poem or other lyrical stuff to be something different? what? and what were the actual lyrics?
Here is a starter: it was a Grateful Dead song, and I thought the lyrics were: 'I got a hardon running from your window' while it was acually 'I got a hard run, running from your window'
How 'bout you?

I used to think in the song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix he would sing "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" when in reality it is "Scuse me while I kiss the sky".
Greatful Dead again. I thought 'come in uncle John's band' was 'come in uncle John's...hand' I was horrified.

Wel it wasn't really a misinterpretation but While listening to Scream Aim Fire i thought "god" in the line "God has spoken through his conscience" could be easily replaced with Khorne.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
I forget what the lyrics were, but I thought they said: 'Oh my! Ants at a picnic!' less scary than snakes on a plane...

While I can't recall, off the top of my head, any really funny ones, I do remember a hilarious "interpretation video" of Trivium's "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr". I had never heard it before, so now whenever I hear the song, I can't help but hear the incorrect lyrics.
I won't link the video since some of it in NSFW, but here's the song:
Bill's thighs, Yellow lips
Treble, let it rip
your boat, twigadee
Yeah cleaves, broken dwarf
Boat, rudder
Strange, mountain
Stomp, Ukraine
This, lime
Fleisch, Gas pain
White, Red eye
It's smile, and it's tired
It's just the way you piss
It's our coats, that makes these wands out of Opeth
Now, Winger, kicking smelveh's germicide away
Flying, the husky
lick down the **** now
Well I am Asian, your mum's a vicar
Florence I'll burn your woil
pre chorus and chorus
I am Trivium ****
Riding around, are things England, are your what
Horror pillow, you'll take this
I am here to ride bike
You will squeeze up the wine
Cut the dogs, ****in' why
Follow me like detective
I am here to ride bike
prechorus and chorus.
I first heard it four or five years ago and I still chuckle when I listen to it.

now I was hanging out with my then-girlfriend, so I was only paying half attention to the music.
original lyrics: "...'cause the secret of all truth, is the quest for - and you'll feel..."
I heard: "...'cause the secret of all truth, is the quest for anchovis..."
seriously though, I might be a smidgeon too food-obsessed

I often hear 'Groar Rarrr Grarr Roar!' when the lyrics actually are 'And then we went to this nice place where there were all those lovely people and then we had a picnic with them'.
But that's possibly because I listen to metal a lot.
"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "feth" on their airplanes because it's obscene!" (Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now)
And you know what's funny? "feth" is actually censored on a forum about a dystopia where the nice guys are the ones who kill only millions of innocents, not billions.
There is actually an entire website dedicated to this kind of thing. Check out Kiss this guy. com and get ready to lyao.

Oh yea, happened to me more then a few times. One of my faves though was the song Black no.1 by Type O negative. When I was younger I used to think he said
"No you cant go out cause its raining and blowin, you cant go out cause your boobs are showing. DYE UM BLACK!"
Which obviously makes no friggin sense. But a couple years passed when I stumbled upon the lyrics Its roots.....roots are showin. Dye em black. MAkes more sense
"Hold me closer Tony Danza" - Elton John (Tiny Dancer)
though that is mostly intentional.
When I was a kid I vividly remember singing with my brother "Milk is silly on Rocky Road" instead of "We built this city on Rock and Roll".
"It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the seed of Arabica that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion."
Well.... one of the ones I remember is catching a guy singing "Blinded by the Light"..
...."Dressed up like a douche, like a lover in delight"
Actual lyric "Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night"
