It's easier to believe the mis-hearing is actual rather than contrived if the mis-heard term isn't hinted at, paraphrased, or repeated in a more understandable version at some other point in the song. Even then that doesn't apply to little children. I myself used to sing the Easter hymn "Up from the gravy, a rose" before I learned to read despite whole sermons about arising from graves.

The liner notes on the vinyl copy of The English Beat's "Save It For Later" I used to have change the lyric to "save it fellator" in the part where it's repeated in the fade out at the end of the song. And of course, the Sly and the Family Stone song is actually titled “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)"
