I got a good one AC DC's song dirty deeds
And my lyrics would be
Edit: I love this because it sounds cooler and it's pretty metal.

Times in which you misheard the lyrics to a song, but you liked your misheard lyrics better?

Totally, it makes more sense.

Spitting Games by Snow Patrol
Real:
I always heard it as:
My brother ruined be listening to Sex by The 1975
Real:
My Brothers Remix
Yellow Ledbetter.
I thought he was making up words as he went along and I enjoyed the song but when I saw the actual lyrics and saw what the song was actually about, well..

Goatbed's "Slip on the Pumps":
But it's actually
I just like my misheard version better for some reason.

So I see the turning tides

Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass.
Opening lines.
"It's so cold in this house,
Open mouths swallowing us."
Well for years I'd thought he was saying "Open mouths swallowing ARSE" (ass for you Americans of course).
I thought it made kinda sense a while later when I realised the lead singer was gay, like it was a ballsy nod towards that side of his life (don't think he came out openly gay at the time the album was released).
Now I just feel like an idiot!
In my defence he does sing it in such a way it's got two syllables and I must have just heard it wrong that first time and it always stuck.

Here's another one, Interpol's "Leif Erikson"
I heard this verse as
"She swears I'm just prey for the female
Well then hook me up and choke me baby cakes
Cause I like to get hurt"
Whereas the actual line is
"She swears I'm just prey for the female
Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes
Cause I like to get hooked"
Its just a little bit awkward with repeating hook twice, and I think my version is a bit more fun and a little dark in line with the rest of the song, as well as the rest of the album. This is the closing track, and this narrator has been through a lot with a lot of different people and "characters" of New York up to this point where he finds love.

Ariana Grande - Bacon and Eggs
Thank an egg

How songs like this get released despite the artists listening to them over and over kills me. At least change the way you sing the lyrics or enunciate it better because this song sounds so dumb.

There's some Green Day song where he sings, "Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me," and I always hears, "Sometimes I would a polar bear would find me."
And Rage Against the Machine going on about being the Renegades of Funk, well I heard Redneck Kings of Funk.

My most vivid example has always been Beyonce's "Work it out".
The actual lyric is:
How ya doin' hug me baby
You know I don't ask for much
But for a girl spendin' time alone
Can be pretty rough
But I heard it as:
How ya doin' honey baby
No I don't ask for much
Two girls and a cantaloupe
Can get pretty rough
It always stuck with me as a bit of accidental art, and as far as I'm concerned, it is the actual lyrics to that song.
I don't know if this miss-hearing coincided with the whole depressing "2 girls 1 cup"-media moment that I think (?) was happening around the release of this song, so I don't know if the reason my brain miss-fired had something to do with this.
Regardless, it will probably always be the quintessential "I genuinely thought this was the lyrics to this song for a moment, and I wish it was so"-memory for me.
Ultimately though, I agree with Beyonce. Two girls and a cantaloupe can get pretty rough.
How?
Well, isn't that the question all of us ask ourselves, on a daily basis?

Black Angels "Manipulation".
Apparently the lyrics for the chorus end in "And she's got you dancing" but I don't hear that, I refuse to believe that, and I will maintain that it is "And she's got you, doesn't she?" till I die. It makes far more sense to me.

"Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More.
Apparently the lyrics don't say "Your master wanked it hard" lol. It doesn't make sense, but it was kinda funny for being so out of place.
