Misheard lyrics

I noticed recently that the kids have become fans the Bruno Mars song That's What I Like. I also noticed some of the lyrics aren't fantastic for young children. Fortunately KidzBop has versions of the song that sounds pretty much the same as the original, but with cleaned up lyrics so I let them listen to that version.

I probably didn't need to worry too much, though, given Charlie's tendency to butcher lyrics. The kid's version of the song changes the lyric "strawberry champagne on ice" to "strawberry milkshake on ice" (kind of corny, I know). When Charlie heard that, he started laughing and said, "They sang it wrong. It's supposed to be 'strawberry shampoo, that's right!'"

He's also pretty convinced that "Despacito" is pronounced, "Ses-flock-flee-co." And here he is singing the well known hit by Pat Benatar: "Hinowinovencha!" I'll let you see if you can figure out what song he's singing.
