Misheard Lyrics

This afternoon, we went to visit Shrike's cousin and her partner and their new baby, Little R.

Shrike's sister and her partner and their kids came over later in the afternoon, too.

I was a total baby-hog, pretty much the whole time. I think I even did every diaper change that happened while we were there. (All voluntarily, of course.)

Oh yeah, and we enjoyed visiting with the grown ups and big kids, too.

On the way home this evening, we were singing in the car. (Rather badly, I'm afraid.)

After struggling through the lyrics of several songs, we were singing one that we thought we were pretty solid on, "Watershed" by the Indigo Girls. It went a little something like this:

Both: I'd better learn how to swim 'cause the crossing is (conflicting lyrics)
Shrike: Chilly and wide? Genuine.
Whozat: Chilly and wide.
Shrike: Chilly and wide?
Whozat: Genuine? That doesn't even make sense.
Shrike: Well it doesn't now!

Of course, these are not the first lyrics that one of us has misheard over the years. Here are a few of the best:

Shrike
"Tiger" by Paula Cole
Actual lyric: "I'm throwin' around the room like party confetti, now."
She heard: "I'm throwin' around the room like Barbecue Betty, now."

Whozat
"Take a Chance on Me" by Abba
Actual lyric: "Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me."
I heard: "Olly oxen free, take a chance on me."

"Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd
Actual lyric: "No dark sarcasm in the classroom."
I heard: "No Dukes of Hazard in the classroom."

How about you?

What's your the best (worst?) personal example of misheard lyrics?
