Default What song did you get the lyrics totally wrong on?

My big mistake was Panama by Van Halen. I thought David Lee Roth was saying Let it rock instead of Panama. Best one I experienced was a guy who worked for me thought AC/DC was saying Dirty deeds and the thunderchief instead of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. With all the info available now there is no excuse although Alexa is wrong occasionally on song lyrics

Oh my God that was awesome. By the time I got through number twenty I was crying I was laughing so hard. How about Madonna “Like a Virgin touched for the very first time” and they thought it was “ touched for the thirty-first time”. Shoe kinda fits on that one

Huey Lewis and the News- “It’s Hip to Be Square”

I heard “Hit the B Square”. Made no sense to me at all but that is what I sang for a lot of years.

Blinded by the Light. I won't say what I thought it was.

And, there are times when it’s not only what we hear, it’s what we see along with it. . .

Remember the old Chevy truck ads on television — with the song “Like a Rock”. . .

I heard one of the kids singing along with it one day — loud and clear. . .”My garage.”

Boomer

PS: Hmmm, maybe that was it on a subliminal level because there is a Chevy truck in our garage right now.

The classic on TV was Phoebe on Friends thinking that Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" was a song about Tony Danza. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza..."

For me, it was Inna Gada Da Vida, always thought it was "In The Garden of Eden."

You know, there has always been a rumor that those were the actual words, but the lead singer was drunk when they recorded the song and Inna Gaza Da Vida was what came out. Not sure if it’s true or not, but there it is…

Definitely 'Blinded By The Light.' Heck, I'm still not sure (even after looking it up), if I believe what the lyrics are supposed to be. lol

That is what it was supposed to be, but for you to hear that, the singer wasn't the only one who was stoned, I'm guessing. 😁😁😁
