Misheard Lyrics

I did a search and didn't see a related thread, which is a shame because I think these are hilarious.
Objective is simple, put the name of a song you misheard the lyrics for, what the lyrics really are, then last, what you misheard them as.
Example

Elton John- Tiny Dancer

"Hold me closer tiny dancer"

what I heard- "Hold me closer Tony Danza"
 
There was some hip-hop song in the mix when I first started working at my current job that one of my old coworkers claimed said "tip of my tongue", but I still maintain that it said "sepia toned".
 
My brain just replaces the lyrics of all songs I'm forced to hear with ones telling the singer to shut the fuck up, or threatening them with brutal death.
 
Sean Paul- Temperature
Actual: The gal dem Schillaci, Sean da Paul
So me give it to, so me give to, so me give it to, to all girls
Five million and forty naughty shorty

What I heard: The golems killer tea, Shawana Paul,
Summer give it to, summer give it to, summer give it to, to augers
Fight me Lennon, shawty naughty fawty
 
Fallout Boy- Sugar, We're Goin Down

Actual: A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

Misheard: A loaded gun contest, cock it and pull it
 
Sometimes, easily mis-heard lyrics CAN depend on the audio equipment. Different equipment can translate certain small nuances of verbal speech, when singing, in different ways, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the equipment.

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Bad Moon Rising"
Actual: "There's...a bad moon on the rise."

Heard by me: "There's a bathroom on the right."

I heard some guy on a radio show who thought "Sad But True" his entire life was really "Sad Patrol" LOL

Pearl Jam - Even Flow

Actual lyrics:
"Freezin'
Rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again"

What I hear:
" Freezin'
Fella-nema-a-hello made of concrete, again"

Lol
 
When I was a kid, I used to think that Jason Derulo's call-out at the beginning of his songs said "Chasin' the ruler!"
 
Tina Turner - What’s Love Got to Do With It?

Actual Lyric: What’s love but a second hand emotion?

Misheard Lyric: What’s love, but I second that emotion?
 
Eddie Rabbitt - I Love a Rainy Night

Misheard lyrics: Showers wash all my cows away, I wake up to a sunny day.

Actual lyrics: Showers wash all my cares away, I wake up to a sunny day.

For the longest time, I always wondered why he was happy that a rainstorm washed away all his cows! 😂

Ever worked with them, or walked out through the pasture to saddle up, only half-awake....? Thats why Eddie would have been happy....😁
 
I know I’m old, so my hearing isn’t what it used to be, but…..

Venus - Bananarama 80’s version

Actual
“Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire”

Sounded like
“Well, I'm your Penis
I'm your fire, at your desire”
 
Actual Lyrics:
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?

What I Heard:
Rhiannon reigns like a bear through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
