Bungle in the Jungle by Jethro Tull

misheard

I'm a tiger when he wants love
I'm on stakes if you disagree

instead of

I'm a tiger when I want love
I'm a snake if I disagree

and

prophetic monkey 
instead of
Scoff at the monkey

Apparently a lot of people here don't bother to read the lyric sheets. Wink
 
The only one that I really misheard was that old garage classic.....Louie Louie ,;  when we were young we all heard those dirty lyrics... and since this is a kid friendly site I can't say those lyrics. Embarrassed

The way things are going, they’re gonna cook it by me.

My brother came up with some gems back in the sixties:

 

The soul hit Give Me Just a Little More Time  by Chairman of the Board: “Give me just a little more time, ’cause our love will surely croak” (last word is actually “grow”)

 

The Doors’ Love Me Two Times: Love me two times, I’m thrown away (i/o “goin’ away”)

Tom Sawyer by Rush

Original: The World Is, The World Is, Love and Life Are Deep

Interp: The World Is, The World Is, Love and Life Agee

Roundabout by Yes

Original: In and around the lake, might as come out of the sky and stand there

Interp: And I'm around the lake, mamas come out of the sky and they stand there

And this wasn't really a lyric misinterpreted, but when i first heard Moving Pictures, I though Red Barchetta was said as Red Barracuda, and I thought the song was about a fish

A couple more of my brother’s oldies:

 

Beach Boys – Good Vibrations.  The first two syllables of “excitations” he thought sounded like “eggtart,” in part because listening to it over AM radio, the second half of the word was drowned out by the lead vocal.

 

Cream – Badge.

Actual: And I told you ’bout our kid, now he’s married to Mabel.

Misheard: And I told you ’bout our kid with the rotten tomato.
Caption: We tend to take ourselves a little too seriously.

"Oh it kills me to think of you with another man" in Elton John's Love Lies Bleeding. Always thought it was "Oh it kills me to think what I'd do with another man" which had me wondering about John's preferences long before he came out.

Not prog, but 'Shakermaker' by Oasis:

Actual: 'Ah, shake along with me'

I thought it was: 'Ah, she clothed me'

Something just as annoying/funny as misheard lyrics is incorrect or misspelled lyrics in a cd booklet.
One that I always think of is misspelling fox as focks in the 2008 Genesis Foxtrot release.  The misspelling may be made as a little joke but whenever I listen to the cd I remind myself of it and for whatever reason, I cringe.  Does anyone else feel this way?

I just got my Gentle Storm album, and on the first song there's a line that goes "What I'd give to hold you in my arms", but it just sounded as if the line was "What I'd give to hold you in my arse". Of course I immediatley knew what was suposed to be the correct line (and confirmed it in the booklet)... but then the line came again in the song, and indeed it souds as if she was singing arse instead of arms.

Not prog, but in Midnight Oil's song Blue Sky Mine, I SWEAR Peter Garret sings "who's gonna shave me" instead of "who's gonna save me." You can't hear it any other way. To make it worse, he's bald.
It happens at 2:36.
