Ever had a song where, even if you know the lyrics, you just know that's not what they're saying? When I listen to Lil' Jon's Snap Yo Fingers, I know he's saying "snap yo' bagels!" instead of "snap yo fingers!" Give it a listen if you're not convinced.

There's actually a whole book for that. It's awesome, it's called ''Scuse me while I kiss this guy' because the original lyric is ''Scuse me while I kiss the sky', but people mishear it. It's a fantastic book.
And your icon pwns.

Jagged1, the website you're talking about is probably www.amiright.com . Not sure, though.
There are so many songs with words I can not understand... I agree with "Snap you bagels, do ya stab? you can do it all by yo self lemme see ya do it..." lol. Also, Sean Paul's "Temperature" sounds like " I got teh right temperature fish head you from the staum"...
So many others, ... Fall Out boy's "Sugar we're goin' down" What on earth is he saying? lol. "I'm goin down down with a loo lee la round suga we're goin down sing it.."

There's always "Smells Like Teen Spirit..." I had no idea what was being said until I read the lyrics, and even then I was confused. "wait, what, a libido, a mosquito? Eh?"
Songs sung in English by non-English speaking groups are fun to mishear, too. "Solemn Hour" by Within Temptation becomes "Solar Power", etc. Same thing with Nightwish. You can find some really funny misheard lyrics videos on Youtube.

The Family Guy theme song... some people still think that it's F-ing cry instead of Laugh and cry.

Fall Out Boy - Arms Race Misheard Lyrics (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LucfKdukf10) There you go. ^_^
For the Family Guy one, I always thought it actually switched off between "F-ing cry" and "Laugh and cry", since with each episode it seemed to sound different to me.
I'm also into cats. =Þ

yeah lol the family guy one... gets me every time i listen to it lol
Nightwish's songs are hilarious to attempt to interpret. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ&mode=related&search=)
There's a couple of good japanese artists who sound ridiculous attempting to sing in english, but I can't think of any really awesome ones at the moment.

"My Will" from Inuyasha. The English version is freaking annoying to decipher because I've seen so many lyrics that all seem right. But its still a catchy song.
