Hendrix used to make a play on it live sometimes where he would actually mime kissing his bass player during Purple Haze because of the frequent mishearing of "'scuse me while I kiss the sky" as "'scuse me while I kiss this guy".
That web page doesn't mention one of my personal favourites, which is in Kid Charlemange by Steeley Dan where the original lyric "Did you realise that you were a champion in their eyes?" is very widely (and incorrectly) believed to be the headscratching and nonsensical "Did you realise that you were Italian in their eyes?"[2]
[1] The original is the slightly less joyful "tryin' to make it pay".
[2] This was sampled/ripped off by Kanye West
