Wrong song lyrics

My kids used to make me laugh all the time, simply by singing along with the radio. With incorrect lyrics.

For example,
Tara (about age 10) singing along with AC/DC: "She's got a fax machine she kept her motor clean...." for "She was a fast machine..." Tara thought the song was about a girl with a cell phone and a fax in her car...

And Brent (about age 8) singing along with the Stones: "I'll never leave your pizza burnin'........."

I love Mondegreens....

My favorite is "Let's Pee in the corner, let's pee on the hot light...." From REM's Losing my Religion.

Led Zeppelin... "If you listen very hard... the jew with bother you a lot."

"We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control, no ducks or hazards in the classroom."

Oh, no. Let's pee in a corner will always play through my mind- we play REM all the time at the cottage. You made me laugh, that's for sure.

Another Tara-ism, who loved Tom Petty. Listening to "Running Down a Dream", she was belting out, "Running down the drain....."

There's a bathroom on the right.

CCR - Bad Moon Rising

King Justice...

(MC Hammer: [You] Can't Touch This)

"Scuse me while I kiss this guy..." for 'scuse me while I kiss the sky (Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix)

"Hold me closer Tony Danza."

Are you eatting all your peas?....
Are you gatherin up your keys?...
Have you had enough of wine?...

I love "Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze....."

My son, 4 years old, is just starting to take notice of song words. I am SOOOOOO excited to hear what he comes up with.

Shave my wife I'm goin' down for the last time.

Head East - Never been any reason

I just about spat coffee all over my keyboard!

SWMBO loves singing along to the radio and if she doesn't know the words she just makes them up.

The first one that comes to mind:

Aerials, In the sky. Watching birdies as they flutter by. -System of a Down

Haw I was going to post the Tony Danza lyric too....too funny.

I've always enjoyed making up my own lyrics for "Anticipation" (by Carly Simon)... instead of "Anticipation is making me wait," just swap it out with your own "-ation" word and definition instead:

Eeeeemaaaaancipaaatiooonnn....iiiiis freeing yourself....from lee-gal guardiaaans

Saaaaccchhhriiifiiicaaation.....iiis breaking up chains....of complex carbooooohyyydrates

etc

"Wrapped up like a ******, another runner in the night"

"You're my favorite hockey star"

I want to rock n' roll all night, and part of every day...

I thought it was running down a drain until I was in my teens

My sister used to sing an Alan Jackson song "but who says you can't have it all" and she swore the lyrics were "apu says you can't have it all"
