Do you have an example of a lyric you have misheard, and it made as much sense (or was better than) the real lyrics?

Mine is a gospel song by the Reverend Alex Bradford called "I Know Better Now". It contained the lines "I used to sing for fortune / I used to sing for fame", and I thought the first part sounded like "I used to sing for poitín". Poitín (pronounced "potcheen") is a kind of Irish hard liquor made from potatoes, so it would make sense in context.
