Kids Hear the Darndest Things

It's always interesting to hear a child's take on lyrics. My daughter was once singing what I thought was "Go Tell It on the Mountain," except she was singing "Go selling on the mountain."
In my case, I heard the lyrics to Prince (the artist formerly known as Prince?  the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince?) song "Little Red Corvette" wrongly when I was younger.  Many decades have passed, and I now know better, but there are times when I still have to remind myself that Prince is singing, "little red Corvette," NOT "limited collect".  I seriously have no idea from where that came.
