Famous incorrect lyric from Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze. The correct line, is, of course, excuse me while I kiss the sky. This sort of mixup is known as a mondegreen. It's so famous that an on line collection of misheard lyrics is at www.kissthisguy.com.

Mondegreen	When not to break up with your girlfriend	How the Police tell if you are high	'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
kissing in public	Microwaved Hard Salami	The guy who talks to you while you're taking a piss	Inefficient hello world programs
If you don't want us to look at your breasts, don't shove them in our faces	Tasty like a raindrop	Mishearing song lyrics	Purple Haze
Kiss the Ceiling	The problem of life and death	Soul dancing in the dark	Princess Leia the Yodel of Life
You've been slowly taking me over for nearly a year, do you know that?	Let's just be friends	Kindly Kisses	Pinch Me
Me So Horny	Kirlian photography	Prediscover	Stop! In the neighbour's lawn
