When I was about 12/13 and just getting into real music, I had a clock radio with poor reception, through which I had to strain to make out the proper lyrics of The Eurythmics first smash hit. For YEARS (I swear to God) I sang "Sweet Jesus, maiden of the East" (and not "Sweet dreams are made of these")
