Mis-heard song lyrics thread

Any song lyrics you found out you heard wrong/were singing along incorrectly only to find out what they really were?
I’ve got a few but can’t remember them all. I’ll start with one:
As kids, my brother & I thought Sadé’s song “Smooth Operator” that she was singing “ooh boppa-red-eye”

Smashing Pumpkins song:
I thought it was “Despite OF my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage” but it’s “despite ALL my rage”

I thought that was " despite of my age" till now! :joy:

As a Dutch boy, Elvis singing “return the Zündapp” seemed a bit odd, but hey, Elvis was a bit odd in the 70’s. He must have lent it to a friend. And it was a cool moped.
