Here's something I collect: Misheard song lyrics.
Obligatory link to Kiss this guy, which is a whole website of it. Some of them are better than others, I mean...who cares if you mishear a lyric by They Might Be Giants? Their songs are random anyway...although "I don't want the world I just want to wear hats" is pretty funny. (Meant to be "I don't want the world, I just want your half'.)
I also found this one which is good: Beatle's Across the Universe Jai Guru Deva = John grew a Kmart. Heh heh
Anyhoo, here are some ones from people I actally know! Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Tori lyric: Past the Mission
Belchy heard: Pass the Gibbon
Aaron Neville Lyric: Betcha By Golly wow
Melchy heard: Petrified tell me why
Powerpuff girls theme lyric: Blossom, and she's the toughest fighter!
Squelchy heard: Blossom, and she's a topless dancer!
Radiohead lyric: Siiiiiiiii-lllllllleeeeenccccce
Felchy heard: Saaaaaaaaaa-lllllllaaaaaaaad!
Girl from Ipanema lyric: Tall and thin and young and lovely
Zelchy heard: Tall and thin and yellow and lovely
....Now I can't remember any more. Those are my best ones anyway.
Donations of misheard song lyrics appreciated.
