The two i can remember are

 

Neil Diamond's 'Forever in Blue Jeans' as 'The Reverend Blue Jeans'

 

and the Isrealists thingy as 'Misreliates'

They're called "mondegreens" - google for that and you'll find lots to amuse :-)

@Kylewilliamson I presume you were refering to "Israelites" by Desmond Decker!

"when I saw you last night at Tesco's"

 

Abba - Supertrooper (Think it is Glasgow)

The old singer from a band I was in once came across misheard lyrics from people in the next room when they were rehearsing Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile.

 

The music fans told my mate how they loved that song with 'Kiss this guy' in it!! For the none Hendrix fans out there the line is 'Kiss the sky'.

 

Not sure if this counts as misheard, or mis pronounced.

One of the Radio 1 Djs ('bout 20 years ago) had a competition involving this idea. The on that sticks in my mind is;-

 

My Cold Field, Carried Away By A Spoonlike Barrow.

 

There was a shaggy dog story to go with it too!

@Kylewilliamson I presume you were refering to "Israelites" by Desmond Decker!

 

I always thought they were singing "Ooh, Ooh, my ass is alight" on that one!
