I was just posting on the song thread and it made me think of this topic. What songs have you or someone you know messed up the lyrics on. Please list the real lyrics as well as the wrong lyrics because this could be funny.
My sister sang the lyrics to Bad moon On The Rise as Bathroom On The Right. We nearly fell down laughing when we realized what she was singing.

I am terrible at song lyrics and once I get them wrong it is hard for me to remember the right words.
Queen. I was convinced that fat bottomed girls was about black bottomed girls, yanno... sitting around a campfire on a beach, sitting on slightly charred wood and getting their butts blackened from it. Even now every time I hear the song I visualize them around a bonfire with dirty butts.
I thought the line 'get on your bikes and ride' in Fat-Bottomed Girls was 'get on your backs and writhe.'
'Rock the Casbah' -- '**** the Casbah.'
I too thought it was 'there's a bathroom on the right.'
Many years ago, when I was in the church teen club, two of the kids had THAT mother -- the Mom that was trying to be cool and hip and wanted to hang out with the kids. They were mortally embarrassed by her and the rest of us ignored her, as politely as we could. Smiled, nodded, said 'Hi Mrs. G,' and stayed on the far side of the room from her.
One night, we were having a pizza party or some such get-together, record player was on and she suddenly started carrying on, 'OMG!!! That is SOOOO PREJUDICED!!! Don't you all think that's SOOO PREJUDICED?!?!' We all went 'huh?'
The Tommy album was on and Pinball Wizard was playing. She went on, 'They're making fun of that little black kid! It's so PREJUDICED!!!'
Someone finally said, 'No Mrs. G, the line is 'that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.' No that 'little black kid.' It's not prejudiced.'
This site is hilarious! All the misheard lyrics you could ever want!

My personal fave from the site is from an AC/DC song.
Someone heard "Dirty deeds and they're done with sheep." (The actual lyrics are "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap.") Now every time I hear "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", I can't help but snicker.
My daughter and I read the top 100 funniest from that site last night and we laughed so hard it hurt!
