Pretty much as it says on the tin: Sayings that have been mangled, or sayings you would like to see mangled, in creative ways...
1. "... 'scuse me, while I kiss dis guy..." -Mangled Hendrix Lyric
2. "A coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only 999..."
3. "If you can keep your head, while all about you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't checked in with your answering service..." -Hawkeye Pierce
4. "It isn't the heat... It's the humanity..." -from Brigadoon
5. "How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways..."

Pretty much anything Bush says! You could fill a book with stuff like that... Actually, I believe somebody did. Some of my favorites:
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."
"It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way."
"The truth of that matter is, if you listen carefully, Saddam would still be in power if he were the president of the United States, and the world would be a lot better off."
You can't make these up!

Magellan was the first man to circumcise the world with a 100-foot clipper.

"Money is the root of all evil."
I know I can be a mean person because I love to correct people by saying that the actual quote was "The love of money is the root of all evil." Well, it includes the phrase in it, but it's misleading.

Actually, I prefer the sixties version:
The Lack of money is the root of all evil...
I think it was Robert Crumb, who made that one famous...

"Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten us into" Never spoken in any Laurel and Hardy movie, but endlessly quoted...
"Me Tarzan, you Jane..." Again, never used in a movie (To my knowledge), but endlessly quoted...

I'm fairly certain that "Luke, I am your father" never gets said in Star Wars in the particular word order.

"Play it again sam." was never spoken ever in any movie... the actual line was "play 'love me dearly' sam. play it."

"Is a synapses a summary"
Said by my little sister when looking for a plot synopsis for "Corpse Bride" 
I know it's cruel, but I couldn't stop laughing. We had a bit of a discussion about biology

i have a friend that for about three monmths was convinced that the line
"
slam in the back of my dragula" (rob zombie : Dragula)
was in fact
"slam in the back of my pick up truck"
the same person thought that
"I hear you calling and its needles and pins" (alice cooper : Poison)
was
"I hear you calling and it's needles and chins"
