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 you’ve heard lately?
I look forward to your replies.

When I was a kid in the early 70s, I thought the chorus to “Smoke on the Water” was “Old Cousin Walter.”
Yep, I used to walk around my house at age 7 or 8 singing, “Ollllld … Cousin Walter … a fire in the sky.” 
In 1985, my mother sang the chorus of “Pride (In the Name of Love)” by U2 as, “In the neighborhood, one more in the neighborhood.” Truth.

Not a funny one but one that works very well:
“I want a field of ocean”
Kiss’ Rock and Roll All Nite, the lyric “I want to rock and roll all night and party everyday” as a kid I thought is was “I want to rock and roll all night and part of every day.”
There are many others but this one stands I instantly recollect that every time I hear the song.
This isn’t really a misheard lyric so much as a lyric I assumed was coming and thought sounded better.
In David Mason’s ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?’ he sings “Will my heart be broken, when the night meets the morning sun?”
I thought he was going to sing “When the night meets the morning sorrow”. It made for a nice metric pattern with “Will you still love me tomorrow” and it has some extra meaning (the inevitable letdown after a night of passion) rather than just a long-winded way of saying morning.
“Banana Tiger, banana tiger”
The song “Steel For Humans” from the Witcher 3 soundtrack is now officially ruined for me due to a comment that points out banana tiger, even though it wasn’t 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.
Huevos con aceite, y limooon!
