Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night.
I always hear “ripped up like a douche”
I always heard wrapped up like a douche another roamer in the night
Don't tell your friends about the tour bus.
I left some brains down in Africa.

That's a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!
... She was the best damn printer that I EVER seen!
Real lyrics? I guess the second is Toto's famous 'I bless the rains down in Africa', but the others?
The third one is AC/DC. You shook me all night long.
The first is "don't tell your friends about the two of us" from I'm not in love, 10cc.
Might just be my humour, but I do wonder why he didn't their friends to know about the tour bus. What did he do it it?

The last one was already guessed - AC /DC - You shook me all night long.
I’m suddenly feeling revved up like a douche.
"I'm blue, da ba de da ba die..."
"I'm blue, I would beat off a guy..."
You'll hear that every time now, you're welcome.

Blinded by the light - Bruce Springsteen
"Like a douche in the night"
I was all set to correct you. Never realized the Manfred Mann version was a cover.
That one Taylor Swift song about being Starbucks Lovers
Omg. I thought I was the only one that heard that!
Even on Taylor's Version, it still sounds like "Starbucks Lovers".
Blank Space. And she does have a 'lovely Starbucks lovers', as least as I first heard it. For anyone who doesn't know, it's actually a 'long list of ex lovers'.
Holy shit... Are you telling me it's not "gotta love those Starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane?"
I have a serious problem with understanding lyrics in songs. I look them up when I don't quite understand what is being said and I realize I didn't even fully comprehend half of the verses to begin with. It's like musical dyslexia or something.
It's really common, it's not just you. Singers sing much more indistinctly than they talk, and it's common enough it's been given a name.
Jimi Hendrix - “‘scuse me while I kiss this guy!”
Hold me closer, Tony Danza / Countin' head lice on the highway.
Digimon

Digimon Garlic Champions
There was a series of bumps for Digimon marathons during the summer once when I was a kid that went
"Beat the heat with a digi-beat."
My siblings and friends and I would instead say "beat your meat with a parakeet." I still sometimes think about it and hum it to myself lol

I was almost 25, in the 1990s, singing along in my car to Elton John, confidently belting out ""Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another man"" when I suddenly realized that it was unlikely a guy would have a hit song about what he'd do with a guy in the 60s or 70s. Even as a little kid I'd known Elton John was gay, and hadn't really been brought up to think that was weird (thank you, mom and dad and your theater friends) .
I looked up the lyrics and it's love lies bleeding in my hands, it kills me to think of you with another man and the name of the fucking song is love lies bleeding, I didn't know that either.
ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace. I always hear "she wanna pearl necklace" as "she wanna put on Netflix".
My wife thought it was

A more recent one I love is Selena Gomez - Good for You: "I'm on a farting carrot. I'm farting carrot."

The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it's mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.
Maybe no one else will find this funny, but I do. My parents were Cuban immigrants to the USA. My uncle in particular was in his prime dating age when I was a little kid, so he would play the hits when I was around. Since he didn't know English yet, he would just guess the sounds the singers were making when he sung along. For that reason, I thought the chorus to a song was "spoon apurataaaa" and that songs didn't need to make sense. The singers could just make noises representing their feelings rather than use actual words. It wasnt until much later and a bunch of bullying in middle school that I learned almost all popular songs are based on words and "spoon apurataaaaa" was actually "smooth operator". Til this day, I still think of a spoon when I hear Smooth Operator by Sade.
"Radio night, here I come"
instead of
"Ready or not, here I come"
We've got some good ones in french.
For example there's a bridge in Sepultura's Rattamahattah that distinctly sounds like "c'est dans ta chambre, ça pue l'opium" (it's in your room, it stinks of opium").
Also, Metallica's Unforgiven, the first verse sounds like "nous faisons des oeufs, et couic couic ils se tournent" (we are cooking eggs, and squeak squeak they flip).

I'll never leave your pizza burnin
My favourite mondegreen: 'Living like a lover with a red iPhone' from pour some sugar on me, released 20 years before Apple's first iPhone was released.
The real lyric is apparently 'radar phone', whatever that is.
