Styx's, "Mr. Roboto"
Misheard Lyrics:
... My brain is a yam!
Original Lyrics:
...My brain I.B.M.
The way that they pronounce "I.B.M." in the song probably makes it pretty easy to mishear it as "Yam". I don't know what connection I.B.M. and yams would have aside from that, though...

Strangely, when songs are in all Japanese (except for the occasional word or word pair), I don't really mishear anything. I'm not really sure if I'm more likely to mishear Japanese lyrics in an English song, since the only song I've come across with an English-Japanese mix (majority English) is Mr. Roboto.

Dobo Body got to Mr. Roboto, he eats too much of the time!

Original Lyrics:
Domo Arigato, Mitsua Roboto, Mata au hi made
Domo Arigato, Mitsua Roboto, Himitsu wo shiritai
Domo Arigato, Mitsua Roboto, Himitsu wo shiritai
These lyrics are in Japanese, which I don't speak. It appears that when I misheard the Japanese lyrics, I substituted the Japanese for English words that sounded like it... or a more familiar Japanese word, in the case of "Mazda", Mazda also being a type of car!
