The theme from "Six Million Dollar Man" turns seamlessly into the theme from "Emmerdale", and vice versa.

Hmmm....that would be an interesting TV series actually. 'The Six Million Horse-Collar Man'

On a similar vein, the theme from The Champions mutates into the theme from The Avengers, given half a chance.

The theme from 'Hong Kong Fuey' turns into "We're off to see the wizzard...." with great ease.

"All that jazz" from the show Chicago has an unfortunately tendancy to morph into "Hey Big Spender" at the end of the first verse

"Mysterious Girl" by Peter Andre (
, get out of my head!) morphs into the equally awful "I wanna make you sweat" which I believe was recorded by Aswad.

Another good one!
Wasn't Aswad. Can't remember who it was.

Sex on the beach and I saw The Sign by some Swedish group I've forgotten.

Joining the discussion late, as per...
Those annoying songs that are intentional malapops, like Cosi Powell's 'Dance with the Devil', which 'inspired' Boney M's 'Rasputin' to the point where you can't tell which song is which for the first 90 seconds.
And for five long seconds, see The Smiths 'How Soon is Now' and Soho's Hippy Chick.
But as for proper malapopisms (superb word, by the way, B), let's pick on an easy target. Will Young won Pop Idol and his first single was 'Evergreen'. Michelle McManus won Pop Idol 2 and her first single was 'All This Time'. Now, you try singing one and NOT hearing the other once you've heard them back to back.
'I'm gonna take this moment...
Alll Thiiiis Tiiiiime
And make it last foreeeeveeer...
I thought I was gonna die'
Works best if you sing Will's song over Michelle's to be honest.
Another one that I suspect is deliberate is Erasure's 'I Love To Hate You' which can *almost* be sung over with 'I Will Survive'.

Few few seconds of 'Cold Hard B!tch' by Jet sounds like Phil Collin's version of 'You Can't Hurry Love' and they both want to change into 'I'm Walkin' on Sunshine'. Jet songs also sound an awful lot like AC/DC in parts.

Oh, and BTW "wanna make you sweat" was by Inner Circle, not Aswad

And it's actual title was "Sweat (a la la la la long)"
And I do not in any way own a copy on CD.

One exclusively for Doctor Who fans.
The story 'The King's Demons' featured a scene where King John plays a song that starts 'We sing in praise of total war' (with a little guitar riff that goes 'dum diddle diddle dum dum dum dum').
12 years later, Edwyn Collins released 'A Girl Like You'
'Never met a girl like you before'
{with an electric guitar going 'urm urm urm urm urm ur-urm')
You start singing either of those sings in front of a Doctor Who fan, sit back and watch their confusion...

Most Doctor Who fans I know are confused about a number of things in any case.
