So following on from Jock's Obacure Lyrics thread, what are the worst misheard lyrics?

When I was a kid I always thought it was "call me Jamaican, call me Jamaician"

Then I got told it was "Come and eat your bacon, come and eat your bacon" (which is kind of believable when he starts singing about candy bars and black eyed peas

But apparently REM actually sung "Call me when you try to wake her, call me when you try to wake her" on The Sidewinder Sleeps tonight

I still don't totally believe that those are he actual lyrics

Has G.O.T got any other ones?
 

Michael Jackson:

"Librarian Girl
You Know That You Came
And You Changed My World"

:o

Edit: Love that REM tune btw, big fan of theirs, and that always was one of quite a lot of their barely decipherable songs!! :)
 
Can't think of mine now but my wife's one always sticks in my head....

"Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Side-captain mister know it all"

Inventing some weird naval rank rather than hearing sarcastic. I laughed so hard when she told me it.
