Ever gotten lyrics wrong and liked your version better?

Random topic, I know, but this has happened to me twice this year...

The first is "Look At Me" by Ill Repute which has a line which goes, "Don't you know you envy me, so take a look - take a look at me!" which I heard as what I thought up until I looked up the actual lyrics was the greatest line ever: "They say know your enemies, so take a look - take a look at me!" I mean honestly, if I'm ever in a band, THAT LINE is going in a song.

Then recently I was listening to "Pure Hate" by Poison Idea which is a song about joining cults and selling out your humanity for hate. It has the lyrics:

"Look in my heart see the pain,
Look in my brain see the hate, it's pure,
Look into my eyes, I'm - GONE!"

I heard the last line as:

"Look into my eyes, I'm - GOD!"

Which I thought was a stupendously poignant line in its misguided religious dogma. But alas, those aren't the lyrics.

Have you guys had any similar experiences?

Oh Oh Here he comes...

Watch out girl,
He'll beat you up.

Oh Oh Here he comes...

He's a wife beater.

Tori Amos: "Gold Dust"

How I heard it:
"You can't see in the dark
Through the eyes of love and lost."

What she really says:
"You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Marks"

I feel like the way I hear the lyrics fits the sad, reminiscent tone of the song than the actually lyrics which are making a reference to a horror movie from the 70s.

I love the way this guy misheard Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter"

This is my favorite misheard lyric video. It helps that I like The Clash.

Cigarettes... and toads
