‘Baby Got Back’ by Sir Mix-A-Lot
Misheard: “I like big butts in a can of limes”
Correct: “I like big butts and I can not lie”
The infamously raucous 1992 song by Sir Mix-A-Lot and its equally wild, bootylicious video were momentarily banned from MTV. The prohibition didn’t kill the song’s appeal; on the contrary, it increased it. In the end, the song spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

‘Message in a Bottle’ – The Police
Misheard: “A year has passed since I broke my nose”
Correct: “A year has passed since I wrote my note”
“Message in a Bottle” was regarded by The Police as one of their most profoundly lyrical tracks. In reality, Sting claimed of the song in “1000 UK Number Ones,” “I think the lyrics are subtle and well-crafted enough to hit people on a different level from something you just sing along to.”
