I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.

The Wham song Careless Whisper, I thought it was “filthy feet and I got no river” for the longest time.
🎼 Blinded by the light / Wrapped up like a douche / A motor homer in the night 🎶
The actual lyrics are:
Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
the deuce is a car BTW for anyone curious.
Big ol’ Jed left a light on
Blinded by the light . To me it always just sounds like he is saying dressed up like a douche , I can’t even remember what the actual lyrics are.
Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night.
I always hear “ripped up like a douche”
I always heard wrapped up like a douche another roamer in the night
My wife thought it was
“All we are is ducks in the wind”
-dust in the wind
This is just delightful.
I was almost 25, in the 1990s, singing along in my car to Elton John, confidently belting out “"Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another man”" when I suddenly realized that it was unlikely a guy would have a hit song about what he’d do with a guy in the 60s or 70s. Even as a little kid I’d known Elton John was gay, and hadn’t really been brought up to think that was weird (thank you, mom and dad and your theater friends) .
I looked up the lyrics and it’s love lies bleeding in my hands, it kills me to think of you with another man and the name of the fucking song is love lies bleeding, I didn’t know that either.
“Salmon chanted heaving,” by Harrison Ford.
I’m suddenly feeling revved up like a douche.

“Like a douche in the night”
I was all set to correct you. Never realized the Manfred Mann version was a cover.
My favourite mondegreen: ‘Living like a lover with a red iPhone’ from pour some sugar on me, released 20 years before Apple’s first iPhone was released.
The real lyric is apparently ‘radar phone’, whatever that is.
I believe you are looking for this
“I’m blue, da ba de da ba die…”
“I’m blue, I would beat off a guy…”
You’ll hear that every time now, you’re welcome.
A Seattle radio station had a PSA at the time after listener feedback: “He is not saying ‘I’m in need of a guy’… not that there’s anything wrong with that kind of lifestyle”.
FRYING OPENED MY THIRD EYE
I don’t know how you could mishear that one.
because earlier in that song…
“…today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed…” quote from Bill Hicks
hence why I thought he said frying (on acid ) opened his third eye…
seemed reasonable to me at the time. took a few years.
That makes sense.
