I've heard a lot of lyrics wrongly in my time. But I think the band I hear often that has the most appaling diction has to be Divinyls.

"I don't want anybody else" in I Touch Myself sounds to me like, "I don't boop anybody else."

This morning on the radio they played the song that I discovered is actually called Sleeping Beauty.

In it was a mysterious line that sounded to me something like "Down in my weetie pop." Apparently the line is "What am I waiting for." I would NEVER have guessed that.

There's a Parliament-Funkadelic line, "When you're taking every kind of pill," that I consistently mishear as "When you drink an epic kind of beer." WTF, brain? I don't drink.

"I'm Sorry Miss Jackson" = "It's my British accent"

Pretty much every link in Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded By the Light". I have no idea what that guy's saying.
