I was listening to Radiohead play "Just" on their recent concert stream, a song I hadn't heard in aaages, and I realised I didn't know whether the line in the last verse was "teach you how to get to purest hell" or "teach you how to get to purist hell". I think the second one is pretty funny.

Junior Byles, "Curly Locks"
"Curly LocksYour father is a *pork chop"
The real lyric appears to be 'Pope chap', which is, in itself, pretty weird.

Just remembered another from when I was a kid:
Animals like Cheerios andThey feel the heat, the heat between me and you
(I think Al Jarreau's 'Mornin'' had given me the false impression that Cheerios were a common reference in pop songs.)

That's really good.
For a long time I thought "And She Was" included this line:
And she was lying in the grassAnd she could hear the highway breathingAnd she could see an earmuff factoryShe's making sure she is not dreaming
My (now)wife laughed at me for that, but then we discovered that her version of "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" went as follows

Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor was playing on an oldies station the other day. My wife was under the impression he was singing "In the end of Wall Street".
Meanwhile, my dad thought for years that Oliver's Army was in fact called I Love A Zombie.

Not so much misheard as mis-scanned, but in 'Laughing' by the Guess Who, I just realized I've long heard
You took away everything I hadYou put the hurt on me
as
You took away everythingI had you put the hurt on me
So I guess it's not a song about sado-masochism after all.

I think it’s meant to sound like what you thought it was, but the lyrics booklet gives plausible deniability for a Parental Advisory loophole, perhaps? (I’ve never seen a cover with the label at any rate.)
