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

[Raggs]

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'

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).

 

[DrakeDarkHunter]

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:

 

[SolemnlyDoc]

"Give me the Beach Boys to free my soul"... turns out it was "beat, boys" and this soulful man was not clamoring for the soothing sounds of the Beach Boys.

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about.

Aberdeen - Cage the Elephant

When I watched the video for it I thought that when they said "Way back" they were saying "White bang"

 

[CG4R12I4N]

Imagine Dragons - Demons

People already make it a meme song that everyone can't unheard it anymore on YouTube.

 

[Mago]

I used to think Rock the Casbah was Working your ass off as a kid. And no I'm not even joking lol.

 

[cjl8336]

I just heard Nazareth "Hair of the Dog"
heartbreaker, salt shaker

 

[NatalieZaki]

I swear to god, I used to think the lyrics said "My Mom Is Dead" instead of "Minding My Own Business" at the 0:27 mark

 

[Parasite_Steve]

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"

 

[Crabulon]

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

 

[CardcaptorEd2019]

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

 

[Raziya The Seeker]

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... ♪"

 

[HawkR]

....... I'm sorry in advance, but I sing it this way on purpose, even though I know it's wrong.

"With the birds 'n shit it's a lonely view, man."

("With the birds I share this lonely view, and...." Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
