Common Lyricosis (in light of all the music threads)

Our local rock station used to have a morning segment called "Common Lyricosis", in which people would call in with some lyrics from a song that sound like something completely different. For example, everyone knows Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light", where it sounds like he's saying "Wrapped up (or ripped up) like a douche, another runner in the night". In fact, it was while listening to this song that I thought about making this thread. Post up songs that you know of that have verses that sound like something completely different than what the singer is saying.

Here are some to start:

Manfred Mann's "Blinded By the Light" - in addition to the aforementioned "Douche", one verse sounds like he's saying "And little Early-whirly gave my b-hole curly-whirly and he asked me if I needed a ride" (really saying "...Came by in his curly-whirly...")

Tom Cochrane/Red Rider's "Big Leagues" - Sounds like he says "Sometimes at night you can hear the ass crack" (really saying "ash crack", as in the crack of a baseball bat)

Peter Gabriel's "Games without frontiers" - sounds like he's saying "She's.... so POP-ular" (really saying "Jeux.... sans FRONT-i-er" - french for "Games without frontiers")

So let's hear your common lyricosis...
