Not a mishearing as much as a misinterpretation, but I used to think that the "get down" joke in "I Want a New Duck" was a play on ducking (especially "duck and cover" drills). It would not be until later that I discovered it referred to duck feathers being used to make down jackets and pillows.
not to mention the toilets at Madonna Inn

As an eleven year old from the Northwest, I listened to Another One Rides the Bus and heard "Haven't been in a crowd like this since I went to Santa Hoo". I just assumed "Santa Hoo" was some town in southern California where Weird Al rode busses. I couldn't find it on a map so my mom ended up explaining "Who" he was really talking about.

When I was much younger, I heard this in Pretty Fly For A Rabbi:
I can do it, Bernie

Why me? Why me? Why me?

"I could break my rib cage, here is my age," leading me to think the next lyric would be something like, "I'm 37," or something like that.

"My already rates are low."
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

It sounded like "Lincoln Bibles" to me!
