My kids are into modern Japanese music and have a lot of fun with what they think the lyrics are. I'm not going to give a link but the kids just listened to one where it sounds like the chorus goes "no more looking for sandwiches". That can't possibly be what he's saying.
Here are some more:
"Eat a Dorito Reno."
"Please stamp my belly, please stamp my heart."

I get that though. I like just the sound of some words in other languages as well.

Well, it's not Japanese, but there's a song by Third Day called Love Song that I was singing wrong for the longest time. Hubby finally heard me singing it and busted out laughing before correcting me.
The lyrics go:
"Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay..."
But I was singing:
"Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no grass I would not paint..."
I was really confused as to why someone would paint grass. But, okay!

When I'm back home again I should look that up and see if it sounds that way to me too.

I can't hear it any other way now. Even though I know the real lyrics!

@koopharper See? there's not much difference! None of it makes sense.

In one case they were trying to figure out what the band was saying in Japanese only to find out it was "English". What they thought he was saying and what he was actually saying were very different.

sometimes the misheard version is better than the real one

@koopharper it gets imposible to hear the ong without the changed version coming up - Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry will always be No Rum And No Pies for me

Usually more entertaining. We've discovered the actual line is "no more looking for someones tears". It does sound like sandwiches though. It was fun to sing along with that.

Sometimes the weirder the funnier. My daughter jokes that we found all the sandwiches, so no more looking for sandwiches.

Sounds so funny! But we can not blame them if they like to use the English language; later on they'll learn it too.

They like to sing in English long before their pronunciation is understandable sometimes.

I like some of it. These bands they listen to will sing in Japanese or English or even a mix of the two. It's actually their English lyrics usually that sound like something they aren't actually saying. My kids are able to pick out some of the Japanese lyrics.
