Recently illuminated lyrics

I realized two instances of misheard lyrics this weekend. Both involve "ué":

Song: Cars, "Let's Go"
What I heard: "and a risky mouth"
Actual lyric: "and a risqué mouth"

Song: "Lush Life" (recorded by Nat King Cole, among others)
What I heard: "gray faces with distant gay traces"
Actual lyric: "gray faces with distingué traces"
