What's your favorite lyric from a song?

I suspect that n80's post was said tongue-in-cheek, as the non-lyrics he quoted could indeed be how the real lyrics are heard when the songs are listened to in a casual manner. A couple of additional examples in a similar vein:

"Oh A Tree In Motion" -- Johnny Tillotson
"I'm Your P---- (um, Venus), I'm Your Fire" -- Shocking Blue

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

@almarg I do not believe it was tongue in cheek. I always heard it as kiss the sky, but I had an excellent phono front end, and system, as I indicated. And not to mention, I, too, was kissing the sky back then. I know about the mondegreen theory. Enjoy ! MrD.

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

mrdecibel, it was completely tongue-in-cheek. I always heard it as "kiss the sky" but when someone told me they heard it as "kiss this guy" I noticed that they are very very close. Although I was never a sky kisser....I don't think gin counts...once you hear "kiss this guy" it kind of sticks.

My wife ruined Jack Daniels for me when she pointed out that it has a distinct smell of banana. I'd never noticed it before but now I can't get past it. To get her back I now only drink Blanton's. ;-)

Likewise with Bad Moon Rising. Fogerty is obviously saying "There's a bad moon on the rise" but some radio DJ heard it differently and I always thought that was funny.
