When they were kids, my wife's cousin used to sing "Last night I dreamt of some bread rolls." instead of "Last night I dreamt of San Pedro." - La Isla Bonita by Madonna.

That sounds like a banter's dream :p

Some of these are not misheard, some were intentionally twisted to be funny. The older ones I've listed are genuine examples of mishearing things.

"Looks like we mated" - Shania Twain's "You're Still The One"
"There's a bath room on the right" - Creedence's "Bad Moon Rising"
"What's love but a second hand in emotion" - Tina Turner's "What's Love"
"Gotta Kit-Kat" - Black-Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow"
"Scuse me, while I kiss this guy" - Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze"
"Your man's a woman, your man's a woman to me" - Bee Gees' "More Than A Woman"

Brenda Fasie - Weekend special

Correct: I'm no weekend special

Misheard: I'm your weekend special

Still hear the "your" instead of "no" till today. Always wondered why she would sing such a demeaning song and why the people loved it so much.

Iggy Azalea, “Black Widow” ft. Rita Ora

Actual lyric: “Like a black widow, baby.”

8. Ariana Grande, “Break Free”

"Fart on your body, I came alive"

Actual lyric: “Thought on your body, I came alive.”
 
If you understand Afrikaans, the "Hello my maatjie hoe gaan dit" song is still the best. But its from a different language rather than misheard lyrics.
 
Calvin Harris feat Florence:
Right: I'm living on such sweet nothing

I heard: I'm living on such sweet elephant

Two totally different words but it cannot be unheard

George Ezra - Cassy'O

I thought he was singing about his watch, a Casio, because of lyrics like :

So that I could trace my clock
And the bastard face kept changing
And the hands, they wouldn't stop
I was ripping out the battery

When I first heard wrecking ball, I heard "you ra-a-aped me"

Wrong - Nellie the Elephant packed her "truck"

Used to be a massive hit when it was re-launched by some Brits. That's the one I'm talking about not the original.
