-- Songs you heard in your youth in which you got the lyrics wrong?
 

Which songs did you all foul up the lyrics to as a young-ling?

Here's one of mine:

"I'm not talking about Bolivia - and I don't want to change your mind."

I'll bet that someone still tries telling me that it's not Secret Asian Man

Hold me closer Tony Danza

Every. Word.

That teddy bear that Marky Mark hung out with was right as this is one of the many songs by bands of the nineties where ya can just use vowels to sing along

Lover boys “heat of the moment” I always thought was pee out the corners when I was a kid.

That's just good advice

The only one that really stuck with me was I just assumed that Jack and Diane were counting on the bottle bounce to save their soul.

Probably because I knew they were two American kids livin' in the heartland, and always assumed that the bible belt was further south. So I never made the connection.

Or when a guy ya work with alters the lyrics to "A little ditty 'bout Joseph Stalin"

Changes come 'round real soon make you swimmin' for land.

Nice. Or a supervisor from years ago singing "Millions of bitches, bitches for me"

ROFL That's excellent!

Carry a laser down the road that I must travel

my parents said when I was like 4 years old, i was singing along to music on the radio. some song with lyrics "Why did you leave me Lucille", but I was singing it as "Why did you leave me, loose wheel".


my dad used to replace the lyrics from George Strait's "Fool Hearted memory"; instead of Foooooool, hearted memory" etc, he would say "Whoooooo farted, next to me"?
to this day, I still sing it like that if I ever hear it.

Steve Miller Band

"Oh, big ol' jet airliner..."
