Every song the Cocteau Twins ever recorded.
(Seriously. Is Liz Fraser even singing in English?
)
Edit: There's like ONE SONG where you can understand her. Of course it's a cover.

This one is not me, but on the way into work one of the radio stations played 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits, and at the end of the song the DJ sang, "Money for Nothing, and the Checks are free". His cohost had to correct him by having him look up the lyrics and read out loud, "Money for Nothing and Chick's for free". The DJ had to admit he'd been singing the wrong line for forty years.
Fun fact about that song:
Mark Knopfler and his wife were in some kind of TV/Electroniccs store, buying a television set. The deliery men who were helping them with their order were making ignorant comments about MTV and rock culture in general. The lyrics of the song are the things the delivery men were saying.
So that's why the song has lines like "The little
with the earring and the makeup". Mark wasn't being homophobic, that's literally what these guys were saying.
And the reason Sting gets cowriting credit is because Mark used part of the melody for "Don't Stand So Close To Me".

Spandau Ballet song True
I always mishear one line of the song as "Listening to Marvin on the floor"
The actual line is "listening to Marvin all night long"

I jst listened to a live version of Lucky Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer.
I thought the opening line was, 'Three high white horses'.
In actuality it's, 'He had white horses'.

Idk if this has been posted here
I'll just leave this here.
Now when you hear that song you'll forever mishear it.
I love that song.
The Smiths - Panic
Until recently I thought the chorus was 'Agatha DJ'. I'm not sure who Agatha is though. Possibly Alice's mum.
Florence & The Machine. Dog days are over
The very first time I heard this song was on the radio and I heard
"the dark days are over"

Had a new mishearing today while flipping through radio stations.
Heard part of an older song and came in to search for 'Irritation Man', couldn't find it, but I found 'Immigration Man' by David Crosby and Graham Nash.
I felt like an idiot afterwards.

Was with my mom today, singing Bennie and the Jets by Elton John and completely butchered part of it.
What I sang:
She's got electric boobs and there were two or she has two (don't remember exactly what I sang, but either way, it made no sense
)
The actual lyrics:
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
