It would work best if you post the name the song, the misheard lyrics, and the actual lyrics.

Ending of Polythene Pam - Misheard Lyrics: John says "Right!"
                                     Actual Lyrics: John really says "Great!"

I guess I've heard some of them wrong, but since they always put the lyrics in their albums it was easy to get them right. That and they usually sing pretty clearly. The singer I have the MOST trouble understanding has to be Mick Jagger. I cannot understand half of what he's singing most of the time.

[Mairi]

Did you know that reviewers have dubbed his singing style "The Jagger slur"?

[Sondra]

I didn't know that! But I totally agree! I can't even misquote any of his stuff cuz it's like jibberish! Here's one from Honky Tonk Woman-(I met her jencesen bar room queen in Memphis" and then something about New York City. I like when Whoopi Goldberg tries to sing Jumpin Jack Flash in that movie. She cracks me up. 'I was raised by two lesbians!"

Misheard lyrics - "We all know the deeper dark"
Actual lyric - "We all know Obladiblada"
