Wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night (Misheard Lyrics Thread)

I made one of these on IJBM a few months ago, but we're sillier so we need one too. Of course, I'm using all examples I've used before but that's beside the point.

While listening to the radio in the car I remembered it's all too easy to hear like a drifter I was born to wear cologne in "Here I Go Again".

The 12-year-old in me likes to change the phrase "make it" for "naked" in certain lyrics.
  • "Livin' on a Prayer": Take my hand, we're naked, I swear!
  • "Tonight, Tonight": I don't know if we're naked, but watch how good I fake it
See? Mildly amusing! ^_^

As for the one in the thread title: Most sources I've seen say that the proper lyric, at least to Manfred Mann's cover of the song, is revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. The original Bruce Springsteen version had the first part as cut loose like a deuce, which, you know, actually rhymes. Why they changed it is anyone's guess.

    What the lyrics actually are (Afterlife by A7X):

    "Of your afterlife here, so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway"

    What I hear:

    "Hope you'd rather feel so stale, you'll be back here soon anyway"

    What the lyrics actually are (Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard):

    "Love is like a bomb baby c'mon get it on,
    Livin' like a lover with a radar phone,
    Lookin' like a tramp like a video vamp,
    Demolition woman can I be your man?
    Razzle 'n' dazzle 'n' flash a little light,
    Television lover baby go all night,
    Sometime anytime sugar me sweet,
    Little miss innocent sugar me yeah, yeah!"

    What I hear:

    "Yellin' like a bomb, baby, come and get it on,
    Livin' like a lover with a radar phong,
    Looking like a tram, like a video van,
    Demolition war, can I be your man?
    Razzlin' and dazzlin' and flash a little lay,
    Television gunner baby, good old nay,
    Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet,
    Little missy innocent, sugar me, yeah, yeah!"

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    "One Way Ticket" by Leeann Rimes (I hear this sometimes on my mom's favorite radio stations)

    What the lyrics actually are: "And buy a one-way ticket on the westbound train"
    What I hear: "And buy a one-way ticket on a west town drain"

    It doesn't help that when I listen to songs on the radio, I tend to tune the lyrics out and sometimes make them sound like gibberish in my head.

    Hey, I still listen to the radio, but mainly for news and sports, not for music.

    I still listen to the radio because I spend a lot of time in a car with no CD player.

    I stopped listening to the radio, it has the same "OH GOD TURN IT OFF" effect on me that TV does.
