The Dreaded Misheard Lyrics Thread

Heh...I think the site I've linked below (which has, for over a year, been on what seems to be a permanent hiatus) could perhaps inspire a new RinkWorks feature...or at least featurette.

So, anyone wanna share some possibly embarrassing mishearings from their favorite songs in this thread?

I'll start it off with two lyrics I misheard:

Beck's "Loser":
My Mishearing = "sore from head to toe, I'm a loser baby..."
Real Lyric = "soy un perdidor..."
(How was I supposed to know he was singing in Spanish?)

Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping":
Mishearing = Actually, I wasn't too sure, but it could have been "I get no town", "I get No Doubt", or "I get no down".
Real Lyric = "I get knocked down..."
