Misheard Lyrics:
Look, I'll play my VCR.
Original Lyrics:
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.

Misheard Lyrics:
Ennio killed the radio star
Original Lyrics:
Video killed the radio star
For decades I have never questioned that it is "Ennio killed the radio star". Only as an adult, however, "Ennio" also made sense because, surely, The Buggles meant to accuse Ennio Morricone - as an incredibly successful composer of film music - of having killed the radio star. Not too far off the point of the real meaning.
