I remember one of my friends and I heard this song once and we thought it was awesome cause in the chorus there was a part that we thought said "Donkey Kong, every day" and were so happy Donkey was in a song. Later we found out it was "Dog eat dog, every day" and the song just wasn't the same anymore.

One of the weirdest ones I ever heard was when Falco's "Amadeus" was pretty big on the radio. The younger brother of a classmate of mine was in the boy's locker room singing "I'm an elf, I'm an elf" rather than "Amadeus, Amadeus".
Nice kid. Not exactly intellectual, though.

When I was still a crib bound boy, there was this song that would come over the radio that I would sing that wrong lyrics to. I'd sing "He's so shy" and years later my mom told me it was "Disco Shy".
There is a site The Archive of Misheard Lyrics - KissThisGuy.com which has an archive of these - of course it references the line from Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" /Excuse me while I kiss the sky/ wrong. Jimi heard that so many people screwed up that lyric that eventually he would sing that line point to Noel Redding (his bassist) and kiss him. (I've actually seen video footage of this, it's quite humorous.)

On one hand, taking away their weapons is a dead giveaway that they will need them. On the other hand, by the time conflict starts the players will already have opened the rulebooks and found the parts that deal with bare-handed combat, performing disarm moves, and using improvised weapons. Players may blunder through dialog with shocking ineptitude, forget the name of the country they are in, or get confused about which side they are on, but once it comes time to roll for initiative they all turn into Sun Tzu. - Shamus Young DM of the Rings
I was one of 3 metalheads sitting at a round table in our college's cafeteria when the (then) new KISS song started playing over the PA system- it was tuned to a local rock station, so this wasn't a surprise or anything.
2 of us thought it was catchy if a bit light, and started singing along with the chorus..."We want money!" and making comments about how they were at least being honest.
The third headbanger- at the time, a freelancer for Kerrang! magazine- replied "You dummies! The line is "Read my body!"

Heh, that reminds me of a story of mine.
The new In Flames album just came out a month or two ago, and my buddy excitedly sent me the Youtube link for their new video - another tasteless, modern attempt at pseudo death metal that doesn't even approach the visionary artistry on their early works - to which I got a laugh at the chorus:
"We aren't even trying!"
Sadly, this was not a mondegreen. Ironically, they are at least being honest

While technically not a mondegreen, I had another one for Danzig's "Dirty Black Summer."
It was a pretty bad video, as I recall, and the drummer was a tad...fluffy...at the time. The chorus was "It's just a dirty
black summer!" followed by Glen's trademark evil-Elvis howl, "WHOAAOOAHOOOO!"
From that point on, whenever that song (or its video) was on, I sang along with the chorus, but changed it to "We got a pretty fat drummer! WIIIIDE LOOAAAAAD!"
Pretty soon, most of my Fils du Metal were mocking it in similar fashion.
Ok, I now get why my musical mentor wanted me to be a producer...
I hid the video to both songs, played them and wrote down the lyrics I heard...then did a search for the REAL lyrics. 99.9% accurate.
Now, keep in mind I don't always get it right (Round and Round by RATT comes to mind - not that I sang the wrong lyrics, I just couldn't figure out what in the wee willy he was singing during the end of the first verse (It's tighten our belts abuse ourselves BTW)), but this wasn't that far under the radar. Frankly I just think people are less than attentive when it comes to music now a days.
Sorry, professional rant over, back to the hilarity.

Oh, Fishmaster. How I love that video. If you look up the real lyrics you'll discover it's straight out of Tokien (Elbereth and Lorien get turned into El Beret and L'oreal) and Dragonlance (Shalafi becomes shalabi). It's awesome.
