Hello,
Very newbie Audiophile here and my first post. 
My off-topic question for you all is what are some of your favorite misheard lyrics that youâve heard lately?
I look forward to your replies.

When I was a kid in the early 70s, I thought the chorus to âSmoke on the Waterâ was âOld Cousin Walter.â
Yep, I used to walk around my house at age 7 or 8 singing, âOllllld ⌠Cousin Walter ⌠a fire in the sky.â 
In 1985, my mother sang the chorus of âPride (In the Name of Love)â by U2 as, âIn the neighborhood, one more in the neighborhood.â Truth.

Not a funny one but one that works very well:
âI want a field of oceanâ
Kissâ Rock and Roll All Nite, the lyric âI want to rock and roll all night and party everydayâ as a kid I thought is was âI want to rock and roll all night and part of every day.â
There are many others but this one stands I instantly recollect that every time I hear the song.
This isnât really a misheard lyric so much as a lyric I assumed was coming and thought sounded better.
In David Masonâs âWill You Still Love Me Tomorrow?â he sings âWill my heart be broken, when the night meets the morning sun?â
I thought he was going to sing âWhen the night meets the morning sorrowâ. It made for a nice metric pattern with âWill you still love me tomorrowâ and it has some extra meaning (the inevitable letdown after a night of passion) rather than just a long-winded way of saying morning.
âBanana Tiger, banana tigerâ
The song âSteel For Humansâ from the Witcher 3 soundtrack is now officially ruined for me due to a comment that points out banana tiger, even though it wasnât the original words meant to be sang by Percival. Nowadays, I cannot take the song seriously anymore for it is pretty much ruined for every time this plays in the game, I cannot help but laugh or crack a smile.
Twisted Sisters having fun.
