(Deliberately) Butchered song lyrics

Neill

Doubtless some of you will remember those Maxell tape ads from the 1980's where the lyrics were misheard because "you really need to hear it on a Maxell".  So they had Desmond Dekker singing "Me ears are alight" and The Skids "Into the Valley" contained such gems as "Juicy man embalmed her". 

I've no doubt bands that covered those songs at the time couldn't resist using the new lyrics, just as we've all sung "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" and "there's a bathroom on the right" (there's a bad moon on the rise).  

Because ELO fans made up their own version, when he performs "Showdown" these days Geoff Lynne actually sings "It's a real submarine" instead of "It's unreal, the suffering".

Does anyone have any favourites and have they ever used them in a live performance?

My favourite is Eddie Vedder teasing Stone Gossard for thinking Kiss were singing "I wanna rock and roll all night, and part of every day".

When my band covers a certain Clash song, we tend to change the Spanish bits for Fast Show Channel 9 quotes, like Bono Estente and Pethethethetheth...

@Legionreturns only just got round to looking at that but it's pretty heroic.

I thought the Shalamar one was "Dairlyea".

Are we allowed to count parodies? Because I saw a brilliant one. It is a "metal band" of sock puppets and they do parodies of classic rock/metal songs. They did Drowning Pool "Bodies", but they changed it to "Laundry" and the chorus goes "Let the laundry hit the floor / Let the laundry hit the floor..." You can guess where it's going. Gave me a good laugh anyway.
