Up until recently I thought the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" were:
Later on, we'll perspire
As we dream by the fire
To face you're away
The plans that we hate,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

My mom had a good laugh at that one.

There's this commercial for the Drug-Free America campaign, where this cowboy is in the middle of the street playing a guitar and singing, but he's had a tracheotomy so he was using that little box that gives you a robot voice. Anyway, he's singing stuff like "you don't always die from tobacco, sometmes you just lose a lung" and then at the end he says "yippie yi yo ki-yay". I always thought he was actually saying, "Happy Holidays!"
I never really thought about the fact that it was April, and no holidays were taking place...

I used to believe when I was a kid that the lyrics to Elton John's song "Tiny Dancer" was "Hold me closer Tony Danza" because I really liked the sitcom "Who's the Boss?" growing up. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I figured out that was wrong, and to this day I still hear "Tony Danza."
