Those are called mondegreens, and I might think of some for myself later, but my favorite from when I first learned of mondegreens was a bear named Gladly, as in "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear". Also, the classic, "there's a bathroom on the right."
I must have some of my own; we all do.

I don't have one for myself but I have one for my DD that I thought was brilliantly funny.
We always go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and the Anglican Church has a tradition of singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" as the final hymn of the service, so we are very familiar with it and it is a favorite.
The third verse is:Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Well my DD was quite the little scientist and we recently found out that for years when she was little, rather than singing "Ris'n with healing in His wings" she was happily singing "Ris'n with helium in His wings". She figured that he used helium to give himself some extra lift!

My best friend in high school made me laugh my head off when "Brass in Pocket" came on the radio. As we sang along with the song, he was doing okay until I heard him sing "God is my arms, God is my legs, etc." What??? I had to reveal the correct lyrics: "Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs, etc." 
Juju, thank you for the info about mondegreens - I never knew such a term existed!

I used to think instead of "jungle love" the words were "chug a lug"

I refuse to say how old I was when I realized it was not a "Secret Asian Man".

Might add that it doesn’t help me that my mother used to deliberately make up lyrics for songs. Some go way back and may not be known to many here. One was “so wrong, it’s been good to know you” instead of “so long......”. Christmas songs often got hit like “Deck your halls with poison ivy”. Others I can’t put here because my mother was not in the least bit ever never PC. My little sister actually got sent home from kindergarten for singing some of Mom’s lyrics that were probably not acceptable.

Jimmer, I like that helium thing.
I still have trouble remembering that it is 'Lucy in the skies, with diamonds' and not 'Lucy in disguise, with diamonds.'

I hope Jesus forgives me, but I still have Jesus saying "I am the way, the truth and the LIGHT" instead of the real words "I am the way, the truth and the LIFE."

What a fun question - thanks Grooch! So many answers...after 61½ years on planet Earth, I have never:
• Imbibed any alcoholic beverages → beer, wine or hard liquor (my liver is pure!)
• Smoked marijuana or ingested any type of recreational drug
• Eaten anything from the sea
• Seen or come into contact with a naked woman
• Shaved my face with shaving cream & a razor – I’ve $aved thou$and$ as a result – thank goodness for electric shavers!
