I once heard some lyrics from The Human League's best known song "Don't You Want Me" as "Swish your legs to find" instead of "It's much too late to find". Listening to that song today I still have trouble hearing the proper lyrics at that spot.
I also heard the first line to their later song "Soundtrack to a Generation" as "First melody can only be be that way" when it's "The smell of trees".
