"There's a bathroom on the right"
When we all know it was really:
"There's a bad moon on the rise"
Creedence Clearwater Revival

In the song "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath there is a line of lyrics that is very commonly misunderstood as:
"Can you help me, thought you were my friend"
When actually they are singing:
"Can you help me occupy my brain"

which is actually 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

One I hear around work often "Just call me angel of the morning, just brush my teeth before you leave me, baby"
which should be "Just call me angel of the morning, just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby"

Status: offline 		I have heard, from a native speaker, that the song is constructed of Russian words that sound English, or vice-versa, so the whole thing is bilingual wordplay.

I can't figure how somebody could get the Paranoid line wrong, it's quite clear. Personally, I have trouble follwing speech over background noise, and I have always followed guitar lines rather than vocals in music (long before I started playing), so I screw up lyrics constantly.
