An ex-boyfriend tried to convince me that the song "Who are you", by The Who was actually about New Orleans, so the refrain was "New Orleans, new-new, new-new" I, for once, actually knew the correct lyrics and he looked like the dope.

Back in the late 80s, my wife loved that song that goes "Tonight I need your sweet caress, hold me in the darkness." That is, she loved it until she heard me mangle the lyrics - "hold me in your armpit". She never could listen to the song again, and never would forgive me for ruining it for her.

I used to think (being a boy into cars) that Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police, had the line
"Wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is four wheel drive" - I was confused to find out many years later that in fact "his car is warm and dry".

Still think 4 wheel drive is better....

My daughter cracked me up one day as we were singing along to Prodigy Smack my Bitch Up. She seriously thought they were singing Smack the Bishop!!! She was about 16 at the time and she still sings it that way, she got me started too. So now i can't sing it the way it should be

Long ago, my sister owned a Beatle's LP. One song in particular on the album that she sung a lot was "Take the back right turn". It wasn't until I looked at the back of the album cover did I discover that the song was entitled "Paperback writer".

I thought the Jimi Hendrix lyric from Purple Haze was "Excuse me while I kiss this guy". Turns out it's "while I kiss the sky". Hey, I was young!

I used to think (for an alarmingly long time, well into my teens) that the very last to words to "My Country "Tis of Thee" were "and from every mountainside, let free Yombre" (let freedom ring). Now I had no idea who Yombre was or in which particular mountains he was being incarcerated, but this was AMERICA DAMMIT! and LET FREE YOMBRE!

In Evanescence's song "Taking Over Me" the real lyrics were "I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you."I could have sworn that the lyrics were "I lie away and try so hard not to finger you."It still sounds like that to me!!

My nephew used to sing Mary Chapin-Carpenters' "Passionate Kisses" as "Ashes and Fishes"

And I thought Elton John, in Bennie and the Jets, was saying "She's got electric boobs, I know it's true". :p
