...despite knowing what they're meant to be. I don't know if anyone else does this but it seems that once I get misheard lyrics into my head I can't get them out.

Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

I sing "My friends all ride horses" and I don't even know why. It doesn't make sense but it sounds right.

There are others, but I can't remember them all right not because I'm a bit drunk.

Megadeth, "Foreclosure Of A Dream"

Real: A plan of dignity and balance for all
Heard: Unplanned indignity, imbalance for all

The thing is, my version makes perfect sense in context, so it doesn't even really matter.
