I don't believe most of those were really misheard, but they do make for some humorous mondegreens.

FTFA:
"Sting topping the chart with the song 'When the World is Running Down'."
...
"In seventh place came The Police's song 'Message In A Bottle' whose lyrics were changed from "A year has passed since I wrote my note" to "A year has passed since I broke my nose." "

Headline: British poll shows that the Police song "Message in a bottle" has the most frequently mis-heard lyrics.

Only off by 6 spots, subby, good jorb!

Concur - "You make the best homemade stew around?" Really?

Do it like a lady.

What, no CCR? "There's a bathroom on the right..."

'scuse me while i kiss this guy.

"Jews let the frogs out?"

What, is that some hip new Passover tune? :)

Benny Lava (new window) is not impressed.

I came in to sing "wrapped up like a douche" and I see I am already late!

Make me fries

For a long time, I thought Tracy Chapman's song "Give Me One Reason" started included the lyric

Give me one reason to steal...

I'm pretty sure you're the one that didn't RTFA.

FTFA (First 2 "paragraphs"):
A survey carried out by hearing aid firm Amplifon has come up with a list of the top ten most hilariously misheard pop lyrics, with Sting topping the chart with the song 'When the World is Running Down'.

Listeners often mishear the lyrics of the song by Sting's old band The Police as "You make the best homemade stew around", instead of the original "You make the best of what's still around".

/Not subby

Take my hand, we're naked I swear
Whoa-oh! Livin' On A Prayer!

I thought all of Oasis's lyrics were misheard?

/came for wrapped up like a douche another roller in the night

s'Cuse me while I kiss this guy.

/My ex really thought that's what the song said.

Dude I knew thought the Steve Miller tune said "Bingo jet with a light on".

Great, every time somebody says the word "jew" EsteeFlwrPot shows up to tell us how she is going to move to Israel and join the IDF.

Someones angry... its friday, relax.

I thought one of the lyrics to a spice girls songs was "i'm giving you everything, all the joy in string...."

/the real line is "all the joy can bring."

"Heathcliff, it's me, I'm a tree, I'm a wombat"

That's funny. Almost anything with 'wombat' in it is funny.

dothemath: Great, every time somebody says the word "jew" EsteeFlwrPot shows up to tell us how she is going to move to Israel and join the IDF.

Right.

Has anyone seem EsteeFlwrPot and Tatsuma in the same thread?

Aw, jeebus. That's friggin' perfect for a Friday. Laughed so hard my co-worker looked in my office to make sure I was OK. Beautiful!

How about the entire song "Benny and the Jets" by Elton John. I could never figure that thing out. Most of the time, I just mumbled along.

Don't call me daughter

Firststepsadoozie: Bingo Jed had a light on.

You would not believe the amount of people i know who fark that up royally.
/the farking song is called JET AIRLINER

ya know... when i heard that Dido song [i forget the title]... the one after her big hit "thank you"

i thought the first part of the chorus went:

"and i will go down with this Sh*t
I won't poke my eyes out and surrender"

"Sting topping the chart with the song 'When the World is Running Down'..."
"Following him were Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, whose song 'Stayin' Alive'"...
"Sir Paul McCartney's band 'The Beatles' were next with their 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'"...
"The third slot was taken by Bono's U2 song 'Mysterious Ways'"...

Writer can't count. Bono is #4 (though some haters may say posit that Bono is a soggy number two)

Not mentioned in the article but found elsewhere was #5, heard as "Michelle ma belle, some say monkeys play piano well, play piano well."

jews let the frogs out LMAO

dothemath: Dude I knew thought the Steve Miller tune said "Bingo jet with a light on".

I thought it was "we don't chair that light on" which makes even less sense.

GoGo's: "We got pigs feet, we got pigs feet. Yeah, we got pigs feet!"
