Misheard lyrics, also called mondegreens, are an essential part of music. Perhaps one of the most famous mondegreens comes in "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix, when he says "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky", commonly misinterpreted as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (Indeed, the live version of "Purple Haze" in the Guitar Hero 4 game features the alternate lyric, probably prompting someone in the future to ask a question like "OMG! IS JIMI HENDRIX GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!?").
My favorite (or the one that bugs me the most) is in the song "The Weight" by the Band, where chorus goes "Take a load off (F)Annie, take a load for free..." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY_5JOEmFK0&feature=related). Feel free to comment on the song, add your own mondegreens, or ask a stupid question about Jimi Hendrix.
It's a question asking whether people have misheard lyrics they want to share.
For -years- I misinterpreted my absolute favorite lyric from The Strokes: "Oh dear, is it really untrue? That they are famous, and they want it to sound new?" The real lyric is: "Oh dear, is it really all true? Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?"
"Wrapped up like a douche" --I'm still not sure what the real lyrics are.
