In Steely Dan's song Babylon Sisters, in the part where he says "play them some funked up music" I coulda swore the 'ol fagan-meister dropped the f-bomb on that one.

Anyone remember that great Genesis song:

"She gets around on invisible crutches..."




Another one I've just remembered - in the late 60's my brother (who was 4 at the time) went through a phase of singing "All we are saying is Give Peace a Chance", but his version went:

"Hold my umbrella
And give me some jam..."

(Jam is jelly in the U.S. - I presume they know what umbrellas are!)

On Genesis' "Dodo" I was pretty sure Phil was saying "Darth Vader" instead of "Dog Baiter."

Agree...  Dodo: dog baiter = Darth Vader / Supper's Ready:  no longer alone = the number of love

Classic mishearing (or is it?):

The actual line:

So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown. (Marillion- Script for a Jester's Tear)

The misheard line:

So I'll hold my piece forever when you wear your bridal gown.

I have an example of misheard lyrics (though I'm still not sure it is really misheard). But here I need the help from someone who at the same time:
 
a) knows "The Wall" by Pink Floyd;
 
b) understands Russian.
 
If there are such people I'll post what was misheard by me.
 
Thank you.

There's a line in VDGG's "Scorched Earth" where I could swear Peter Hammil sang "No snare of past can trap him, though a ninja may!"

And who could forget this ELP classic:
 
Called a misty morning I was early morning burnin' the air!
A bottled angeled power, where noone had an hour to spare!
Where the seeds have rickets, Saul and Jinna shivered in the cold!
Now the vases captured on the lances of the jackets for gold!
I'll be there, I'll be there, I will be there!

I have heard somewhere that  Creedence Clearwater Revivals song "Bad Moon Rising" on the refrain
 
"..Threre's a Bad Moon on the Rise,"
 
 
can be heard as
 
 
"...There's a bathroom on the right"
 
 
Also in Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze,", I think you can hear
 
"...excuse me while i kiss the sky"
 
can be heard as
 
"excuse me while I kiss this guy"

I just listened to jazz-legend Oscar Peterson doing "Some of these days" on the radio, and when he came to the line "you'll miss my huggin', you'll miss my kissin' " I actually understood "you'll miss my hard-on" first before I realised what he must have sung. LOL
