Bastille's "These Streets":
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else —> We'll walk upon these streets and think of little elves
This is partially because the previous line ends with "ourselves", so my brain keeps expecting a more exact rhyme.

Don't know how I misheard this but when listening to "Train of Consequences" I managed to mishear "my name is trouble, I'm coming in for the kill" as "my name is Joseph, I'm coming in for the kill."
And there's the Metallica ones for the Black Album: Of Wolf And Man - "Sheep shit! Blow to the wind!" (Shapeshift! Nose to the wind!)
Sad But True - "Sex patrol!" (Sad but true) and
Dont Tread on Me - "toss me a kipper for the words that you'll hear evermore" - "touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore"

For every name that's been erased...
This happens to me too often, and not only with lyrics.
Although the most amusing lyrical ones have had to be "Let freedom ring! Let the wontons white doves sing!" in the song Independence Day (I'm unsure of the artist) and "Montagues and Calculus Capulets, of course, but I didn't get the reference at the time in the Arctic Monkeys song I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.

From a local news report:
- "Perdue, over the last ten thousand half-dozen years, had his eyes opened."
Dire Straits, "Money For Nothing"
- "Look at that mama, she's got it stickin' in the cameraman..." camera. Man...

I misheard the end of Puritania (not hard since it's a robotic demonic voice) as "another successfully erased soul" rather than "Earth successfully erased." I note that it is about Lucifer purging humankind, and the title might be a Nazi reference (to Germania). It's listed on Nightmare Fuel/Music for the lyrics and the way it's sung.

Not exactly MY Mondegreen, but I can't unhear it after it was mentioned to me.
"I'm not your rectum!" Actual lyrics
The Eccentric Electric
For me, most of the soundtrack to Jet Set Radio Future was Mondegreens: the Soundtrack. I somehow misheard the lyrics to almost everything that was ever said.
Living The Fever Dream
So many of them playing Persona3.....

#79: "Independence Day" is by Martina McBride.

I'm a loser, baby
So why don't you kill me..."

hiya, the name's scout.
I thought Lorde's Royals always said, "You can call me green bean" instead of "you can call me queen bee"...

Shut up!
Lately I can't help hearing "Have you ever seen the rain?" in the CCR song as "Have you ever seen Lorraine?"
Fear is a superpower.
Because of an old ytmnd
, I always hear it as "have you ever seen The Ring?".
Also I misheard the chorus of REM- The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite , which is "Call me when you try to wake her". Because of how fast it is said in the song I thought it was one word, something like "Coneychawakia" and I always wondered what the hell that meant

No matter how hard I try, I cannot hear Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" as anything but: "I'm so passé..."

I've discovered it's very easy to mishear Braeburn saying "Them buffalo" in 'Over A Barrel' as "Damn buffalo". Really doesn't help that it makes sense in context.
Definitely Not A Swarm Of Bees
I'm pretty sure Super Smash Bros. for Wii U doesn't contain a "foul cockmonster duo". The announcer saying what my mom and I would be up against this round sure didn't make it sound that way, though...

Filthy casual
Heard an excerpt from a Peter Kay Tour, where he mentioned two of these. I found the funniest to be from Sister Sledge's We Are Family where the line "Just let me state for the record" became "Just let me staple the vicar".
(Annoyed grunt)
I thought in the song "Lullaby [Extended Mix]" by The Cure he was not whispering "close your eyes, close your eyes" but instead "Toys R' Us, Toys R' Us"

While I haven't played any of the Space Quest games, I did watch video clips of the various death sequences on Youtube one day when I got bored.
The Mondegreen was a small sound bite that plays when Roger walks through a shower of acid and melts down to just a surprised head as seen here in this compilation of some of the game-ending accidents that can happen in the remake of the first game. (Granted, my volume was low and I wasn't wearing headphones at the time.)
He says: I'M MELLLLTIIIIIIING!!! I Heard: AUNT MAAAAAGGIEEEEEEE!!!
I don't think your Aunt Maggie can un-melt your body, Wilco.
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
You know how commercials for Playstation consoles typically end with a robotic sounding voice saying: "Playstation"? For a pretty long time, I heard the somewhat distorted sound clip as anything from "Days Days One" or "Day Stays Won" or anything along those lines.
