The only one I can think of that I always misheard was "Voices Carry" by either Aimee Mann or Til Tuesday. For YEARS, I thought it said "hush, hush, keep it down now, THIS IS SCARY" instead of "hush, hush, keep it down now, VOICES CARRY".
Now my little brother has come up with lots of funny ones.
"What is Love" (Fat Joe, maybe?), he thought was "What is up"
"Comfortably Numb", he thought was "Come for blue rum"
And then one day, we were again listening to Pink Floyd, and he says, "That song is so racist". I was pretty confused because I did not hear any racist lyrics in Pink Floyd. (He was about 7.) Where the song says "a lead role in a cage" he thought it said "a negro in a cage". Well yeah, that would be pretty racist! I corrected him and he now sings the correct lyrics.
