mondegreens are basically misheard lyrics. Some of them are so funny.
Thought you might like to share your favourites.

"Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)"
Misheard Lyrics:
Dirty deeds done to sheep
Original Lyrics:
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

"Blowin' In The Wind"
Misheard Lyrics:
The ants are my friends
They're blowin in the wind
The ants are blowin in the wind
Original Lyrics:
The answer my friend
is blowin' in the wind
the answer is blowin in the wind

"I Believe in Miracles"
Misheard Lyrics:
I believe in Milkos
Original Lyrics:
I belive in miracles

I actually knew people who sang the last two songs with those misheard lyrics.

A friend of mine got this one badly wrong:
(Smashmouth's All-Star)
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger in her bum and the shape of a elf on her forehead.

The actual lyrics as follows:
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
in the shape of an "L" on her forehead.

The John Clay Band's live cover version of 'Walking the Dog' went something like this:

W*nking the frog
I'm just a w*nking the frog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to w*nk the frog
C'm on now c'm on

The actual lyrics are of course:

Walking the hog
I'm just a walking the hog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the hog
C'mon now c'mon

Take your pants down and make it happen -- Irene Cara's "Flashdance", of course it's really
Take your passion and make it happen

I am a rock, I am an onion -- Simon and Garfunkel, of course,
I am a rock, I am an island

Some Jingle Bells anyone?

Bells are 'bout to ring,
Making spareribs bright;
What fun it is to write and sing
A slaying song to knives.
