Top 10 Songs with Misheard Lyrics You Can't Unhear

I succeeded to unhear many misheard lyrics. But some of the misheard lyrics are too stubborn and this list is about them.
The Top Ten
1 You Can Leave Your Hat On - Joe Cocker
2 Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth

I always hear "You try to take his balls."
Actual lyric: You try to take its pulse.
I've listened to this song many times but I will always hear "his balls" and not "its pulse".

Great song though

3 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

I hear "I tell you to end your life."
Actual lyric: I tell you to enjoy life.
Yes, that's another stubborn mondegreen in my music life.

4 Breaking the Law - Judas Priest

I will always hear "Brick in the lawn! Brick in the lawn! " (play the sample).
Actual lyric: Breaking the Law

5 Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

"Fear of the duck."
Actual lyric: Fear of the dark.

Yeah it really sounds like Duck.

6 Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

"It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not."
Actual Lyric: It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

That misheard lyric, I definitely can't unhear it.

Yep. I can never hear this one the same way again.

7 Sad but True - Metallica

After many listens, I still hear "I'm your pain while you repay / You know it's self-control."

Actual lyric:

I'm your pain while you repay / You know it's sad but true

8 Valhalla - Blind Guardian

I hear "Valhalla, the liver runs! "
Actual lyric: Valhalla, deliverance!
(in this case, the sound of the misheard lyric is really very close to the sound of the actual lyric)

9 The World is Yours - Arch Enemy

"If you want the world, lose your mind"
Actual lyric: If you want the world, use your mind.
(this line appears several times in the song and sometimes I hear "use" but sometimes - "lose").

10 Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

I hear "There's a bad moon on the right".
Actual Lyric: There's a bad moon on the rise.

Some say they hear "There's a bathroom on the right".
I personally don't hear "bathroom" but it's funnier if you hear that.

The Contenders
11 R.I.P. - Brooke Candy
12 Hello Kitty - Avril Lavigne
13 Unlock It - Charli XCX
14 People = S**t - Slipknot
15 Purple Haze - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy"
Actual lyric: "Excuse me while I kiss the sky"
I don't know about you, but I've always heard the original lyric.

16 Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe - Kendrick Lamar

Sometimes I need to pee alone

17 Sorry - Madonna
18 911 - Lady Gaga
19 Blinded by the Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Just look up the lyrics and you'll see why

20 Mute - Drowning Pool
21 This Modern Love - Bloc Party

It's funny how a single word can change such a beautiful line.
