When I was a kid (up until around 16) I thought the line in Men At Work's Down Under was:

"I said do you speaka my language, he just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich".

I can remember watching MTUSA and thinking this line meant the big muscly guy, who was 6ft2", stole the other guy's sandwich and but was letting him eat a bit of it. Made perfect sense to me.

My fav story of misheard lyrics was when i worked in a restraunt and was a customers birthday - all sang usuall happy birthday then "for he is a jolly good fellow"

Back in the kitchen one of the Italian waiters lookes very confused and asked "Why do you you sing about Garlic Potatos?"

Was made even more surreal when we tried explain word "jolly" to him and he couldn't get head around it

Uptown funk.
I heard 'fill up my cup, put some n!gger in it'
It was only when I saw the video I copped that the yanks call alcohol liquor.

My partner was much more impressed with "I predict a riot!" than she had been with "I put it to rest!"
The worst thing about this sort of thing is that you start hearing the misheard lyrics yourself once they're suggested to you.
Kinda like what happens with backmasking:

"Some have to eat some masturbate".

In Sowing the Seeds of Love, Tears for fears actually sang "so nice to eat so nice to taste"
