Someone wrote...
"in the song SWAY (song 2 in 'sticky fingers' album) by the Rolling Stones, i used to think the chorus went: "It's just that needle I forgot you in its sway", when he (mick jagger) really sings: "It's just that demon life that's got me in its sway"....

Actually my dad, who is a huge Rolling Stones fan, swears that it is "It's just that needle I forgot you're in it's sway." Or at least thats what he heard back in the day...

When I was in 7th grade, a boy i liked would visit his relatives in Georgia. I thought it was really funny when Frankie Valli's song came out "Mike's in Georgia" (though it was really "My eyes adored You"!)

In Christina Aguilara's song dirty, I thought that when they said in the beginning "too dirty to clean my act up" that they were saying "too dirty to clean my bathtub"

When my foreign cousin came to visit from sweden, he used to sing the transformer song, but being a foreigner, he wasn't exactly singing the correct lyrics.
"Transformers...more than meets the eyes" was mutated into "Transformers, owneh weensy eyes...otherwise" Now why he stuck the "otherwise" part in always blew me and my brother away...I guess he figured that since he thought he knew the words, he can add his own twist at the end????????

There's a song that goes "for the life of me, I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were only freshmen." I was so confused by this when I was little because I thought they were saying "I cannot believe we'd ever die, forty cents, we were only freshmen."
