Misheard rock lyrics (that you think are better than the original)

Toto - Africa

I thought I heard-

"As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti."

but couldn't believe the anyone could write such unimaginable dross. I checked and found that Toto could and did.
Yes, that song really is a torrent of nonsense. For years I thought he sang "I passed the reins down in Africa" - maybe handing control of some metaphorical African horse to someone or other. Apparently it's "bless the rains" which makes even less sense.

I always thought it was ‘As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a memphis above the Serengeti.’ Never understood what it meant, I still don’t !
 
Planet Claire by the B 52's.

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
A-faster than the speed of light.

I always thought that last line was 'I met her in the feed lot...'
Have a listen !
