Some people, like my sister, have a knack for picking up lyrics after hearing a song just a few times. But as for me, I can still be mishearing them years later.
I used to think Living on Tulsa Time was Living on Toast and Tang...
Anyone have their favorite misheard lyrics?

My favorite was hearing someone at a Crosby, Stills, Nash concert say to his freind, "I hope they play wooden chips!"
But of course we all remember wondering what it'd be like to be not only blinded by the light, but "wrapped up like a douche" as well.

From Steppenwolf's The Pusher -
Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun
I used to think the last line was
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and I'd raise the rent.

"There's a bathroom on the right"
From the chorus of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising"
Dont go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
Theres a bad moon on the rise.
One time, I even heard a DJ say that he misheard it that way.

"Secret Asian man"
From Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man"
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
For years I wondered why the spy had to be an oriental.

And finally, my all time favorite, as heard fifty years ago by a horny, naive 16 year old (I couldn't believe they were actually playing a song with those lyrics on the radio). ........
"It's finger *******, ******* time
It feels so good
From Hank Ballard's "Finger Poppin' Time"
(Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
It's finger pop poppin' time
Finger poppin' poppin' time}
I feel so good
And that's a real good sign
It was a great disappointment when I learned that they really weren't playing those lyrics on the radio.

My daugther loves the Steve Miller classic:
Vigo, Jed, and Alina,
Don't carry me too far away
Vigo, Jed, and Alina,
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
