This misheard lyric video actually got me diving deeper into K-Pop, sometime in 2012. It's a bit of a cheat (mishearing foreign languages), and it does include the non-kosher use of "니가 for the n-word"-thing (a turnoff that is still present today).
Personal highlights:
"Male eel kill them, why?"
"I'm gay, Ramyum. Old dirt guy, yay."
"Conjure a particle, pat him down."
"No man in our big Dodge - you go (to) cut your throat."
"DILATE YOUR CAT"

Every time I listen to "Sunny Side Up" by Faith No More I hear "tap dancing all alone" as "Ted Danson all alone."
Growing up, I was convinced it was...
"Blinded by the light,
What on earth can I do with a woman in the night".
When I was little, I used to hear Panama from Van Halen as Had Enough.
I also used to think the Rolling Stone's "You Start Me Up" was Pistachio.

"Tiiii-ime to take her home it's easy and she's constipated"

It's always this one. For practically my whole life, it was "wrapped up like a douche" something-something "in the night". I still have a hard time not hearing it even though I know what the actual line is now.
"Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"
Crazy it took 60 posts to see somebody shared this one. I thought it was super common.
The one in the title/OP, I used to hear as "rock the asphalt". Thought it was some "dancing in the streets" sort of metaphor. Didn't know the word "casbah". lol
And +1 for "revved up like a douche."
Edit:

Oh yeah, I misheard this one as "dunder chief" and what my brain decided that meant was "chief dunderhead". So there were many dunderheads but this guy was the chief of them.

Always thought Foreigner was singing about a Juice Box Hero when I was a kid, thought it was a weird thing to write a song about
As mentioned, "wrapped like a douche"
Metallicas Enter Sandman, "keep your free throws in". Always thought that was a weird metaphor, like where did basketball come from?
Beck - Loser "soooo much for genitals, I'm a loser bay baayyy"
ACDC, always thought "dirty deeds and the dunder chief" was odd, maybe it was slang from the old rock bands or inside joke.

Not me, but one that made me crack up when I first heard it was when a buddy of my dad's thought the titualar line in Billy Idol's Eyes Without a Face was, "How's about a date?"
Anyone here say "A kiss from the rose on the gray"? Because i was on that Grave train for a looooooong time.
This is one of my favorites from Dream Theater:
"FUCK THIS WHORE! DRINK A TROLL!"
Oof, I forgot how weird Petrucci looked in some of those pics.
Also, Blinded By the Light's "Wrapped up like a douche!" lyric is a good one.

Don't judge me too harshly but the second line (1 minute into the song):
"Open mouths swallowing us"
I heard as "Open mouths swallowing ARSE" (ass to you Americans).
Now if you actually listen to the song he does sing the word "us" in a way that sounds like it could be arse.
I thought it all made a bit more sense a while later when the lead singer came out as gay. Fair enough that doesn't make sense given the rest of the song but it was one of those quirky and controversial lyrics to the point it kinda made sense to me and since I heard it like that first time it was forever ingrained in my head as that. Sigh.

OMFG! This is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely adore how she was able to mix and match so many different songs with her pop-up board. I DIED at Madonna's "I'm gonna eat my baby – mmm!" Thanks for making my day.

The actual line...
At eighty-six my grandpa said, "There's angels in the room"
What I always hear...
At eighty-six my grandpa said, "Criss Angel's in the room"
... I then assume that grandpa pulls off a mask, and mind freaks everybody.

There's a urban legend in Germany for "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd.
The children's choir in that track sing "All in all you're just" but in German it sounds like "Hol ihn hol ihn unters Dach" ("Take him take him under the roof") and there are various nonsense "explanations" made about this, one being that one of the sound enigneers was depressive and somehow hid that message in there before he hung himself under the roof (there is no german sound engineer on this record). But it's always amusing to mishear this line in German.
