we used to do the song 'jeremy', and our singer would say 'jeremy smoked grass today'...haha, he said he thought thats what was sung when he first heard the song. my mom used to sing an old school song called 'secret agent man' and she used to sing 'secret asian man'! LMAO we thought it was funny!
john lennon "I Picked my nose in Spanish Harlem" Jimi knew people mis heard some of his lyrics, "S'cuse me while I kiss this Guy" even became a joke to him, and he uses "Scuse me while i kiss this policeman!" at times roy orbisons "Only the Homely" the worst can still be heard when sir paul plays and the crowd sings along with "na na na .. hey dude" Im sure there are lots of songs ripe for the picking on this topic
Bad Moon Rising - "theres a bathroom on the right" John Fogerty himself sang the "bathroom on the right" lyric once during the "Premonition" concert. It can be heard after the last verse of the song quite plainly.
When I was little, my dad would play the Police, the song "So Lonely" It goes "So so lonely...so lonely, so lonely..." So he sang "SalAAAAmi, salAAAAmi" to me, and it took me a good number of years to discover his little joke.
He also sang "S'cuse me while I kiss this guy" in a bunch of live recordings I have. I can't think of any off the top of my head..
