I would argue that this isn't exactly how it went down, but it generally conveys the important points of the conversation.

Uh... I always knew that the lyric was "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in."
And it's
I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
So... 'scuse me while I kiss this guy...

I've always heard "talkin' 'bout the limit," even though it was nonsensical.

Holy wow. Listening before reading the answer, I thought, "Livin'" but on second listen "Linen" like. Not talking about the linen, some kind of in-joke conversation they had with each other.
With answer, you can see the guy on the left clearly say it.
"the-LIV-in"
"moo-VIN-in"

I submit to you, David Bowie, Fame (no idea what he's saying half the time)
and
Peter Gabriel, Games without Frontiers (required learning French before I had the slightest clue what this was)

A few years ago I had the "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" "page a day" calendar. It was lots of fun. Some of my favorites:
Elton John, Tiny Dancer:
"Hold my clothes and tie my down sir"
"Count the head lice on the highway"
Elton John, Someone Saved My Life Tonight:
"Someone Shaved My Wife Tonight"
There were many more...

For me, the real lyrics often don't even match the actual lyrics, and I have no idea why I mishear them the way I do.
The worst for me is the Pearl Jam song "Better Man." For some reason, I always heard it this way:
"She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find the Butternut. She dreams in something, she dreams of him, can't find the Butternut."
Mind you, I knew the song was "Better Man," but when I heard it, I imagined someone looking for chewing tobacco.
