Okay, post all song lyrics you've misheard here. Please post the actual lyrics, too, so we can know whether or not to schedule an appointment to get your hearing checked...XD
Here's mine:
From That's Good by Devo:
Actual lyric: And let us not forget to toast/Everyone who might have missed the boat
Misheard lyric: And let's not forget toast/Everyone who might've missed the vote.
You can tell it's election day, can't you?...

Okay, let's see... I mishear song lyrics so often it's not even funny...
This is from Love Story by Taylor Swift
Real lyric: "Little did I know/That you were Romeo I was a Scarlet Letter."
Misheard lyric: "Little did I know/That you were Romeo I was a scarlet lady."
I was like, "Wait, what? Isn't that kind of... inappropriate?" I had also just been reading GoF where Ron says something about his mother thinking Hermione was a "scarlet woman," so that may have been why I thought that...

I had to check the lyrics insert...
Feign Amnesia from They Might Be Giants
Real lyric "...With that crazy guy dancing behind us"
Misheard lyric: "...With that crazy g**d**n scene behind us"
Oh, and in Love Story, I hear "Julie Ann" rather than "Juliet"

Misreading and mistyping:
What my fanfic said: ...[George told her] "My help have run off on an unexpected vacation"
What I read: "My help have run off in an unexpected direction"
What it said: "chocolate-coloured Labrador retriever"
What I read: "chocolate-covered Labrador retriever"
What I was trying to write: "the world so intricately created"
What I wrote (thanks a lot, freshmen!): "the world so intricately offended."
I constantly mishear "Cleaning my Gun" as various variants: "cleaning my gut" and "cleaning up (?)".

Sugarland mondegreens (did you know there's a name for these?) Official lyrics: My mama mapped out the road that she knows Which hands you shake, which hands you hold In my hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll She knew that I had to go... Misheard as: My mama met Daddy, road that she knows Which hands you shake, which hands you hold In my hand-me-down Murphys( ), ready to run She knew that I had to go... Official: Grew up on a tightrope Misheard: Grew up on tide road (the next line, when put together with this alleged line, led me to think of a person learning to ride a bike along a shore road.) And speaking of mistyping, I mistyped "mistyping" for miswriting in that other post. Randomly, did you know that: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. is a grammatically correct sentence? The things you learn from Wikipedia!

Thriller:
Original lyrics: You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight!
Misheard lyrics: Something something something in can of, can of tuna!
