I am certain I am not alone here... Hearing things wrong.
When I hear Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song" ...the line "On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the Western shore.."
I hear ...." On we sweep with threshing oar.. I wanna go where there's a restaurant"!
You?

Hotel California: Once saw a police man, rising up thru the air.
I'll let you guess what I heard wrong for decades.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Here's one example from my past:
The first couple times I heard it (in this version, not the Joni Mitchell original), I thought "paved paradise to put up a parking lot" sounded like "paved paradise and put up a fucking lie." And is it strange that I actually think it sounds better with those lyrics?

Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light: "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night..."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night.

43 years I have heard it like that. From a family of 4 brothers and no sisters that was my first reference to douche. I was like " My Mom has to do that?"

On another note, I'ma use the word "mondegreen" at the cocktail party on Friday.

Fat Boy Slim. Gangster trippin.
The actual lyrics are "what we doin with the fatboy slimmin"
All I hear is "Fuck with the women and fuck with the women and fuck with the women"
I remember my family being at a table together and this song came on and I thought how can they let us sit here listening to this.
Also I remember the song "Don't want no short dick man" Being on MTV while I was sat there watching it with my female cousin and I was thinking I must be mishearing the lyrics like on that fat boy slim song. I was wrong.
It DEFINITELY says fuck with the women over and over.
I hear it clear as day.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
