I love Mondegreens, but I feel the Mondegreens I fall for are way more pervasive.

Try as I might, I still hear "Starbucks Lover" instead of "Star Crossed Lovers" in T. Swift's Blank Space, and "Galileo" instead of "Gotta Let Go" in Dynamite by Taio Cruz.

It's actually "Got a long list of ex-lovers." First time I heard it I was sure I was hearing "Got a lonely Starbucks lovers" or "Got a lovely Starbucks lovers" which didn't even make sense!

Sometimes they sing the words differently. I've noticed other bands doing this.

I.E. "refresherator" instead of "refrigerator" on "I Want My MTV" by Dire Straits.

Are you sure you're not just mishearing this? (And the song is "Money for Nothing", by the way.)
