My wife mis-heard the chorus of Keane's 'Crystal Ball' as 'Oh, Chris de Burgh, Chris de Burgh...' and I let her think the song was written as an ode to him.
Phil Collins - I think I missed again = I think I'm pisssssed again
'My love ain't got no money, he's got his trombolene'
I was about fourteen when the Cribs’ Men’s Needs came out, the chorus of which includes:
Because a man's needs, man's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
and is repeated several times throughout the song.
Being a keen boxer, I thought the song went:
Because a man needs, man's needs
Apollo Creed, Apollo Creed
and was convinced of this for several months.
Having been enlightened by my older brother who readily showed me the lyrics booklet that came with a special edition of the album, I stand resolute in my opinion that the second statement is not untrue - all men do, in fact, need: Apollo Creed
Used to work with someone who thought Noel Gallagher was singing "and so Silicon Way" in Don't Look Back in Anger.
In the below song. I always think it is H34 instead of H24
"J'la passe, la détaille, la pé-cou, la vi-sser, des regrets devant ton bébé
J'sors de chez toi, j'reprends ta voiture mal garée puis j'retire ton PV
J'recherche un billet, des affaires, des plans dans la planque, un peu trop peiné
J'fais un bisou à mes cafards dans la cave du six, les pectoraux gainés
Les BACqueux té-ma parce que les ients-cli ne tomberont jamais sur messagerie
Eh, poto, démarre dans la jungle, j'y suis H24, j'y fais des singeries
La rue, j'la dévale à toute allure avec du Gucci comme Mitch
J'me promène dans les beaux quartiers avec le seum qui fait peur aux riches"

Why would Keane do an ode to Chris de Burgh just for writing songs?
That's his job!

I'm embarrassed for both of us.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Sweetheart Come
Heard as “sweet hot come”
Took one of my mates to a Tottenham game once - his first game. Spurs famously chant “Y*d Army” - second half this guy joins in chanting “You know me”
I still take the pizz over a decade later
Prefab Sprout - The King of Rock 'n' Roll
"Hot dog, jump and fart, Albuquerque"
Macy Gray - I Try
I try to say goodbye but I choke
Try to walk away but I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I wear goggles when you are not near
It must have been 10 years before I realised her "world crumbles" and that she was never wearing goggles

Pretty impressive to still get "Albuquerque" right in a misheard line though!

I think I thought it was "something cookie" to begin with before I worked it out.

That works
For years I thought Thin Lizzy were singing...
Down at Dino's Bar in Rhyl
The drink will flow and blood will spill
A song dedicated to all the fatties out there - Blue by Eiffel 65
"I'm blue, I'm in need of a diet...."

This didn't occur to her, and I wasn't going to disabuse her of this misunderstanding.

When they were really saying:
Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Which is much more sensible.
"I don't think you're ready for this JERRY" (rather than jelly) - from Bootylicious by Destiny's Child.
For I long time, I genuinely thought that Beyonce and pals were trying to aggressively woo a man named Jerry.
