What song, or songs, have you misheard the lyrics to?

When I was a kid and Eddie Money's song "I Think I'm In Love" was playing on the radio, what I heard (or thought I heard) was "I think I'm in love, 'cause I can't get it up." But because I grew up in such a sheltered world, raised in a strict Catholic family, I didn't know what "can't get it up" meant. So I didn't understand what I was hearing at all.

And then there was Pink Floyd's song, "One Of My Turns." For a long time I thought he was saying "Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left you'll find my favorite ex" (meaning an ex-girlfriend that he had chopped up and stuffed into his suitcase). Imagine my relief when I bought the 2-CD set, [i]The Wall[/i], read the song lyrics, and discovered that it was actually his favorite axe, not his favorite ex, that he kept in his suitcase.

@SW-User That's a very good question.
