U2's, "Mysterious Ways"
The Funny Lyrics:
If you wanna kiss the sky, Better learn how to kneel (On your knees, boy!)
Why They're funny:
'Kiss the sky' is a reference to Jimi Hendrix's famous misheard lyric from 'Purple Haze'. Substitute the misheard version of that lyric - 'kiss this guy' - and suddenly you have Bono commanding you to perform fellatio on him.
