Twenty years ago, Buffalo, NY. The Fat of the Land by Prodigy was still huge. A dancer in a strip club thought "Smack my Bitch Up" was "Snap my Picture". True story.

That’s “The Graduate Remix”
Golden Earring - Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called ~~red hot love~~
We've got a wave in the air
~~Red hot love~~
In my defense, I was hearing this over sometimes-fuzzy analog radio rather than off a tape or CD where the track title might clue me in. Less defensible: not noticing the other words that make more sense when talking about radar.
I always thought it was redeye love, in the same context as a redeye flight.
I always thought that song was "Red Alert"

"Carry a laser" - Mr. Mister
There this French fold band, Skáld that usually sings in Old Norse language. In the song Hross, the first line of the chorus is "Hverir eru þeir tveir?". The way they sing those first two words sounds like "Fevereiro", which is the Portuguese (my native language) word for February.
Working with guys who's 1st language isn't English singing "Take me to Monkey Town", instead of "Take me to Funky Town."
I had a friend in grade school that argued with me about the lyrics to Kenny Rodgers The Gambler. He was loudly and angrily certain the song said "You gotta know how to hold 'em" and would NOT hear my suggestion that it is really "when to hold 'em".
The next day he quietly told me I was right.

Yep. Knew it was wrong, but that's what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.
