A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

A while back, The Wallflowers had a popular song on the radio, it was called "One Headlight."
The (real) chorus goes: "But me and Cinderella, put it all together."
One day, while in the car with 4 of my friends, that song came on. I began to sing it at the top of my lungs. When the chorus came (and I was belting it out) my friends started hysterically laughing. They asked me to sing the chorus, and being the good sport that I am, I obliged. I sang, "The incinerator, put it all together." They actually had to pull the car over because they were laughing so hard! They never corrected me, instead they would ask me to sing it for whoever we knew. I thought that they were impressed by my singing voice.
Later, they told me the truth. They had allowed me to make a fool of myself for nearly a year! What's that old saying? "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"
