On an aside here, misheard lyrics is a great way of deveolping a childs vocabulary and understanding.
As a major wind up merchant I do it all the time to TLD, we'll be driving along in the car and she'll be singing a song (might be a nursery rhyme, might be Amy Winehouse, might be ABBA, but NEVER EVER Leona Lewis), she'll sing a line of a song and I'll repeat it back changing the words slightly so it doesn't make sense. A discussion then ensues as to why she is right and I am wrong...
repeat ad naseum (and it can fill a long car journey!!!)

That current Coldplay single,'Roman Cavalry Choirs are singing', that's what I hear, but that's just ridiculous isn't it.

I think this is misheard, it just can't be right: one of those ubiquitous sofa ads starts: "I want a brand new house on an episode of Friends..."
Please can someone tell me what it really says? :-[

It's an episode of Cribs, not Friends. I you don't already know what Cribs is, you probably don't want to!
One that I misheard was Feeling Good by Muse:
Possum in the tree, you know how I feel
and my Mum used to think the Rockafeller Skank went:
right about now, the front's all rubber

"Just an Earth-bound biscuit I."
This prompted me to check as I was sure it was:-
"Just an earth-bound distant cry."
Of course, neither are right :)

Sixpence none the richer:
"Strike up the band, watch the fart lice dance"

ISTR misheard lyrics are termed "Mondagreens", after the gracious Lady Mondagreen:
Who is mentioned somewhere here:
"Ye hielands and ye lowlands,
Oh whaur ha'e ye been,
They ha'e slain the Earl o' Moray
An' laid him on the green...."
-
A few years ago The Grauniad had a regular piece on misheard lyrics, called "Come
Again?"
My favourite: Tonight I sellotape my glove for you. :-*

Following on from Mr L's one, for years I thought there was a line that went:
Warm smell of Policemen, rising up through the air
In that there song :)
-
The Stone Roses' trance-dance classic "I Wanna Be A Dog".

Apparently it's
"The taste of her cherry chap stick"
and not
"The taste of her cherry chop stick"
I thought it was chop stick until quite recently as well. Seems to be one lots of people mis-hear! :)

I am quite disappointed to learn it's not 'Cherry Chopstick' as I thought it may be a euphemism for something rather ahem, cough, down boy, ..exotic.

My then very young daughter thought The Eurythmics sang

Mrs Z thought ABBA's "Super Trouper" went
I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesco
It's actually "Glasgow", which is, in many ways, more odd.

On an Abba theme (and before MiniQ gets here with this..) I thought another Abba lyric was:
"I was in jail just before we met". It turns out it's "I wasn't jealous before we met".
Oh how I laughed when she pointed this out. ::-)

Turns out Whitesnake changed the lyrics to Here I go again, due to worries about misheard lyrics
Original from 1982
YouTube
- Broadcast Yourself.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSlSaGcc0QM&ob=av2n)
Newer version from 1987
YouTube
- Broadcast Yourself.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyF8RHM1OCg)
From wiki
'The song was written by lead singer, David Coverdale, and former Whitesnake guitarist,Bernie Marsden. The most notable differences between the original and revamped version are the style of the music (blues-rock versus hard rock) and a slight change in the lyrics. The chorus of the original version features the lines:
"An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone"
Whereas the newer version is:
"Like a drifter I was born to walk alone"
In an interview, Coverdale claimed he changed the lyric because he was afraid people would think he was saying homo instead of hobo'

USAnian cars are usually made of cheese, so it'd be no great surprise if a radiator hose went.

Not unusual for Katy Perry songs. I was amongst many who had to have the term Daisy Dukes in one of her songs explained to me. The wife told me once by going 'apparently hardly any men know what she'd going on about.
Well indeed. When it was explained however, being a young lad back when Daisy Duke was on telly, I got it :-D
Misheard lyrics from me?
