Hope this gives you a little smile. Sharing my most recent misheard lyric in a song
The song is "White Punks on Dope." I somehow made it my entire life until recently without hearing this song. I heard it someplace, I don't remember just where, and thought they were singing "White Pumps are Dope" (as in "white high heel shoes are fantastic."

driving along Mt. Baker Scenic Highway, listening to Canadian radio (out of Vancouver), when a song by The Hip (Canada's house band = The Tragically Hip. [Anybody remember Michael Nesmith and "The Monkees" show on telly ?]) comes on. Now, the radio signal is fading in and out, accompanied by a LOT of static, and a storm is moving in, so the lyrics aren't very intelligible at that moment.
The name of the song is "Rolling High Dough." It's a song about a movie being shot in a small Canadian town and how everyone appears in the movie as extras, making some money from doing so and how that could cause people to engage in unwise behavior.
So, the lyric is "When you're rolling high dough."
We thought they were saying dawg (like how John Mellencamp sings about "sucking on a chili dawg outside the Tastee Freeze" not dough.
The word high sounded like my.
Given the left turn imaginations can take, the word rolling, didn't come across at all right, but we caught the "ing" ending.
In short, we thought (hilariously) that they were singing "When you're blowing my dawg."
Now years go by, but I still crack up every time I hear that song.
"Scuse me while I kiss this guy"......dadada dadada.......
