I'm in a state of shock. I just realized that the lyric of "The Bare Necessities" is not actually "Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn't be found there in my big home", as I'd thought for many years, but is actually "I couldn't be fonder of my big home".― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Friday, December 6, 2019 3:04 PM (one week ago) bookmarkflaglink

My theory - Phil Harris sang "I couldn't be ... found? .. Of my big home", and they never corrected it.
When they made Jungle Book 2, they re-sang "Bare Necessities" and corrected it to what you said.

I was listening to Radiohead play "Just" on their recent concert stream, a song I hadn't heard in aaages, and I realised I didn't know whether the line in the last verse was "teach you how to get to purest hell" or "teach you how to get to purist hell". I think the second one is pretty funny.

The real lyric appears to be 'Pope chap', which is, in itself, pretty weird.

Just remembered another from when I was a kid:
Animals like Cheerios andThey feel the heat, the heat between me and you
(I think Al Jarreau's 'Mornin'' had given me the false impression that Cheerios were a common reference in pop songs.)

That's really good.
For a long time I thought "And She Was" included this line:
And she was lying in the grassAnd she could hear the highway breathingAnd she could see an earmuff factoryShe's making sure she is not dreaming
My (now)wife laughed at me for that, but then we discovered that her version of "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" went as follows

Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor was playing on an oldies station the other day. My wife was under the impression he was singing "In the end of Wall Street".
Meanwhile, my dad thought for years that Oliver's Army was in fact called I Love A Zombie.

Not so much misheard as mis-scanned, but in 'Laughing' by the Guess Who, I just realized I've long heard
You took away everything I hadYou put the hurt on me
as
