Recently, I picked up a CCR greatest hits album. On a whim, I googled some of the lyrics. I had portions of pretty much every song wrong.
Also, pretty much any Nirvana song.

My buddy thought the cover by aerosmith "train kept a rollin all night long" was "drinking captn morgans all night long"
Blinded by the light. My wife just mentioned the “wrapped up like a douche” line to me last week.
Also something about “waiting’s in Dewey’s van”

I swear that is what they're saying on that one.
I honestly thought KISS wanted to "Rock and roll all night, and part of every day"
It just made sense to a pre-teen JKB. I mean obviously rocking and rolling was a night time activity, and you had to have some off time to sleep, do the laundry and dishes type stuff. Rocking and rolling all night and PART of every day was just putting in the extra hours. Hardcore dedication to your chosen profession. Doing some overtime if you will.
But yeah. If you could go back in time and ask me as an 11 year old this is what I would have told you

You win. Wow!
Even the backup singers looked like, "whoa, he's wasted".

I'm pretty sure that every one to ever exist has thought that that is the correct line
My niece understood "Cat Scratch Fever" as "Butt Scratch Finger"- Classic
I thought Michael Jackson's "The Force" said "Keep up with the four stroke, don't stop 'til you get enough"
Until I corrected her a few years ago, swimbo thought van halens "Panama" was "animal". It still is to me
I got my first real sex dream, oh yea at the five and dime. Played it 'til my fingers bled, was the summer of '69.
Or how about
I've got two chickens to paralise. Pack your bags, we leave tonight.
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning' up evening slop
And he looks at her and says:
"Hey darling, I can remember when you would suck my [rooster]"
Yeah, I know the correct lyrics, but I heard a band sing it that way, once.
When I was growing up my dad was a big Doobie Brothers fan. He had the song Black Water on in the truck, and I joined in singing toward the end of the song "I'd like to hear some berkeleying Dixieland..." On the rare occasion I hear it these days, those are the correct lyrics to me.
The list is infinitely long. Mis-hearing lyrics is my superpower. In the '80's I was in a wannabee metal band and we covered Sabbath's symptom of the universe. I never really memorized those lyrics. Quite certain I never got them right and still have no idea what they really are.
But my fave is my wife's. You know that Stevie Wonder tune "signed sealed delivered, I'm yours"?
"Sling, slung, benibbit"
I dunno. I got nuthin.

Metallica's Enter Sandman... I always thought it was "Amstel Light, Endo Night"
