Zedlepln -
OP should have made this thread as a pole.
It would be a vast suppository of information.

Jose, can you see by the donserly light
What so proudly we held at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars threw the penniless fight...
Nothing will ever top this one:
"He's the spittin' image of his father" instead of "he's the spirit and image of his father". 
"He's the spittin' image of his father" instead of "he's the spirit and image of his father"'
Herring In A Fur Coat - I always said that song goes "let loose like a douche in the middle of the night"...I had no idea for at least twenty years that the song was about racing cars.
Ugh! Sorry. Double post!!

that may be a bastardization of an earlier term, but its not a malapropism
Spitting image is actually correct, but who knows where the hell that came from

Ultraviolent and Herring - I guess it depends on your source. I got this on innocentenglish.com. He’s the spittin’ image of his daddy!
This actually came from a phrase used in the civil war era that was badly mangled by the slaves blending their native speach patterns with english spoken Southern style. The correct phrasing is, “He’s the spirit and image of his father”. Perhaps either way Cihmanos is right. It's more of a bastardization than a malapropism.

I hope my new job comes with FRENCH BENEFITS
I used to work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). We once got mail addressed to the "Bureau of Ending Affairs." That's sounds like a fun agency to work for!
