Look, I'll play my VCR.
Put the blame on VTR.
Not exactly a misheard, but I've seen the lyrics on different web pages and about half the time they put the incorrect VCR line. It's the only line they always get wrong, presumably due to mishearing. In 1979 nobody in Britain would have known what a VCR was, but VTR is a TV industry abbreviation for Video Tape Recorder.
