We actually call any misheard lyrics the “CCS syndrome” because when I was young not only did I hear “pears skating lightning” instead of “earthquakes and lightning” I always thought the name of the group Creedence Clearwater SURVIVAL.
Another bad one from me: I always heard “Nose Bleed” instead of “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt.

Girls like you by maroon 5
Real lyrics
Maybe it’s 6:45
Maybe I’m barely alive
Maybe you’ve taken my s**t for the last time
Maybe I know that I’m drunk
Maybe I know your the one
Maybe I’m thinking it’s better if you drive
Maybe it’s 6:45
Maybe I’m barely alive
Maybe you’ve taken my s**t for the last time
Maybe I know that I’m drunk
Maybe I know your the one
Maybe I’m thinking it’s better if you drive
But I thought it always said baby
