Does anyone have a pop song where they completely misunderstand the lyrics? For me it's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John, which sounds something like this:

Goodbye Ellerbe Road
Where the dark clouds decided to howl.
Your cat scratched me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough.

Too many to name. I ruined my hearing in college. I am lucky to get any lyrics right actually. My favorite is from Werewolves of London. Instead of run amoke in Kent, I thought it was, ran a mutton tent.

Don't come around tonight
Bound to take your life
There's a bathroom on the right.

Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche
Another runner in the night.

For a while, I thought It's Time by Imagine Dragons was about a guy with a small penis trying to get it on with a woman and then getting defensive.

It's time to begin, is it in?
It gets a little bit bigger, but I'm a man
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand?
I'm never changing who I am.

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it!
'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades oh no

Sunglasses at night

I never could tell that he was saying “guy in shades.” I just kind of mumbled that part. Finally looked up the lyrics and it was to damn obvious with the song title.

I always heard this one as :

“She’s got electric boobs, her maw has too”

Even after learning the proper lyrics, I still sing it this way.

Growing up I always though it was "Don't go Jason Waterfalls". Everyone I tell that can't hear otherwise

On highway to Hell I always thought they were saying, “She’s a n*gger on a one night ride.”
