What are some funny ways you or others have misunderstood lyrics over the years?

The first one that comes to mind for reasons unknown...

"Blinded by the Light" - wrapped up like a douche


"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Urgent by Foreigner- I thought they were saying Virgin, so Virgin

WTF are they saying in Blinded By the Light?

It took one too many times of me singing the misheard lyrics loudly in the backseat of the family wagon for my dad to finally let me in on the proper lyrics. Of course, it didn't stop me from saying "douche" anyway for another couple of years. :)

"I'll keep it 'til it's covered with AIDS" - Hey good looking by Hank Williams.
Though that's more of a misheard lyric than a misunderstood one.

I guess I didn't read carefully enough.  Excuse the F out of me.

In the case of others, I used to know a little boy who would sing "Taking care of biscuits."  It was the cutest thing ever.

One of my paleontologist friends got this one wrong:

 Red Hot Chili Peppers- Scar Tissue

In the Burgess Shale this lonely view

(should be "With the birds I share this lonely view")

 not that funny, but hard to hear it the right way now.

 And this probably doesn't count either, but in the song Big Rock Candy Mountain on the O Brother Album, we swear that the singer says "Blig Rock" rather than "big rock", and I just love the idea of a blig rock, whatever that is...

Silly Brit, it does sound like he's saying "douche".  But it's a horrid version. Why wasn't the original a hit? (points off for those who don't know who wrote it)

Sad because "kiss the SKY" makes sooooo much more sense...

While working today I overheard a woman telling someone "You're boiling my glands!", which intrigued me... then I realized it was likely "You're spoiling my plans!".  I liked my way better.
