A German Newspaper once wrote about the song "Summer of '69", claiming that its first line would say "I had my first real sex dream."

TheWalkerDude: Anyone remember 'Song 2' by Blur? For the longest time, I thought the line where they go "I got my head shaved by a jumbo jet" was actually "I got my head checked by Edjo Moche."

It still doesn't make any sense...
I always thought it was "I got my head checked/by ancient magic"

Katy Perry - Dark Horse
"So you want to play with my cheek?"

That's about it for me.

How about some mis-lipread lyrics?

Remember when Nirvana hit and we all thought we were hearing the lyrics wrong, only for it to slowly dawn on us that that's what he was actually saying? :P

Pretty much this

This happens to me with the third album of Sigur Rós. Yes, the whole album. Then again, the album isn't even titled or even the songs. Plenty of words though…

blakstar: For future reference, I'd just like to add that misheard lyrics are generally referred to as "mondegreens"
That's cool to learn. Thanks!

There is another category of music that I like, that I've often wondered if it had it's own "word" like that. Maybe you know...

Music that incorporates (and is composed around) sounds effects and lines from movies.

A couple of examples:

Front 242 - No comment - 05 - special forces

DAVID VAN TIEGHEM - These Things Happen

Is there a word for that kind of music?

Yep, in English the word for that is:
music-that-incorporates-and-is-composed-around-sounds-effects-and-lines-from-movies

You almost had it. You just needed more hyphens.
