I always thought Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" said:
"When he came into the window there was a sound of a Nintendo"
I also thought the Foreigner song "Hot BLooded" said "come on baby do you do modern dance"

Post your misheard song lyrics because I know there's more but I can't think of any
 
Nelly Furtado "Say It Right":

From my hands, I could give you [something that I made]

... what I'm hearing is 'With my hands, I could kill you' :unsure:

That "Hot Blooded" misheard lyric is cracking me up. I'm going to hear that now for the rest of my life lmao
 
The opening line of Seven Rings in Hand I always heard as "Make the leaves we brawl" for whatever reason and it's become an in-joke between me and my boyfriend whenever I bring it up for him to instantly respond with "Yes, Make Believes Reborn" (The actual lyrics).
 
I remember mishearing the chorus of Metallica's "Escape" (one of the few songs from their classic era they'd like to forget.)
Instead of "Out for my own, out to be free" I heard "I sold my own out to be free." Changing the vibe from "I'm a rebel, out on my own" to "I sold out because I only care about myself."

I can imagine it due to the song appearing in the Super Smash Bros. series starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That is, if you mean the actual Seven Rings In Hand from Sonic And The Secret Rings(?).

Anyways, for the ABBA song, Take A Chance On Me, I always like to hear the "take a chance take a chance take a take a take a chance"s as "jackie chan jackie chan jackie jackie jackie chan"s, and hear "Take a chance on me" as "Jackie Chan's on me!"
 
Not one I personally misheard/misinterpreted, but too funny to ignore:
 
Imagine Dragons - Demons

People already make it a meme song that everyone can't unheard it anymore on YouTube.
 
I used to think Rock the Casbah was Working your ass off as a kid. And no I'm not even joking lol.
 
I just heard Nazareth "Hair of the Dog"
heartbreaker, salt shaker
 
I always thought the line in Carly Simon‘s "you’re so vain" was "I had some dreams there were clowns in my coffin" and I continue to do so because it’s a better line than "clouds in my coffee"
 
Still one of the best

Disturbed - Prayer
"Heaven just isn't hot enough/Living just isn't hard enough"

Probably a few others if I sat down to think about it
 
Under Pressure by Queen - "Push it down on me, Push it down on you, you're an asshole"

I don't know the actual lyrics, but I think I prefer these
 
I dunno man, when I first got to the final stage of Sonic Rush, I thought they were singing about a "Captain Black"... not Wrapped In Black, which is still a banger. And of course, it's "revved up like a deuce", not "revved up like a douche" in Springsteen's Blinded By The Light. >_>

EDIT: Yooo @Crabulon , I have one with Disturbed's Prayer as well, when I first heard it in my teens. It's a good song though, innit?

"♪ Heaven just isn't hard enough... Burn me alive, I'm sorry... ♪"
 
In Beat it it sounds like MJ is saying Beat it! Isn't that wacky?!
 
Speaking of "Beat It", the lyric / Show them how funky and strong is your fight / still sounds like / Show them how fucking strong is your fight / to me.

Also, Kylie Minogue's In Your Eyes has a lyric that goes /Destiny has a funny way when it / Comes and takes all your cares away /. For the longest time, I thought it was / Comes and takes all your kids away / and this lady was actually suggesting that she was happy her kids got merc'd so she could hook up with a guy.
 
When I was a kid, Venus by Bananarama had come out on MTV. Song is going, and part where they keep saying "I'm your Venus", my little mind thought they were saying "I'm your penis!" So then I'm saying "Why are they saying they're my wiener? Or are they trying to say they want my ding dong? Inquiring minds wanna know!" Everyone is all WTF? "Well they're the ones saying it, and sounds like it!"

It's a banger yeah xD One of my faves by them along with Defy, Decadence, Land of Confusion, Liberate and Conflict.

Oh snap you guys reminded me, I've never known what MheeheeJ was singing at that part! I always just filled it in as "Show then hot pockets" or "Show them hot rockets", whatever the fook that means
