What's your funniest twisted lyric?

You know the type of thing - misheard lyrics that end up being quite amusing,

e.g. from Jimi Hendrix "excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of "while I kiss the sky"

or Paul Young "every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you" instead of "piece of me with you".

You get the idea. Ten points for the one that amuses me the most.

    I once convinced a gullible colleague of mine that The Jam song Eton Rifles actually went: "Need two right balls"

    For more, Google The Archive Of Misheard Lyrics. My personal favourite on there is the Guns N' Roses fan who misheard "Right Next Door To Hell" as "Rednecks go to hell".

    Another Bohemian Rhapsody one. Up until a very short time ago, I always thought the first line was 'is this the real life, is it just Battersea?'

    There's another in Abba's 'Super Trooper'. 'I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesco's'

    The Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven - they sing "and as we wind on down the road." I thought they were singing "and there's a WINO down the road." Could be, right?
