Tori Amos, "Rattlesnakes"
Misheard Lyrics:
She's obvious, despite herself
Original Lyrics:
She's oblivious, despite herself
The original Lloyd Cole song says obvious despite herself. Tori made the mistake during a demo and liked it and it stuck as oblivious. So here's a good instance of a misheard lyric becoming correct by being recorded by another artist.
