One day I scratched my head and wondered it that meant that you could drive from Mexico to Canada with out knowing you had gone through a third country in between because ...we are a "nation invisible"????

From Synchronicity II:

"The way up there that makes a piebald egg" is really "The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache".

In the song 'Jump' by Van Halen, I thought David Lee Roth was singing "Maxwell jump" instead of "Might as well jump."

I thought "Chasing Pavements" was "Chasing Penguins."

The 1981 REO Speedwagon song, 'In Your Letter' lyrics "in your letter" was misheard as "Indiana boogie."

Two examples of misheard lyrics - misheard lyrics can be known as 'mondegreens.'

* Elvis Presley's 'Return to Sender' - lyrics "return to sender" was misheard as "return December."

* Manfred Mann's 1970's song, 'Blinded by the Light' - lyrics "blinded by the light" was misheard as "blind date by the night." (I found-out about the misheard lyrics long after Manfred Mann's 'Blinded by the Light' was released. Regardless, it continues to remain an awesome song!)

Sometimes I intentionally sing the wrong lyrics to songs:

“I can see clearly now that I have my glasses on.
I can see all the popsicles in my way.”

"my great, my great, my greaaat...DANE!! !!" I sing that along with Paul McCartney on the store muzak.

And I join Madonna in singing about how "I threw out my lumbago...it was long ago, but it seems like yesterday". :)

Credence Clearwater Revival - “Down on the Corner”
Actual lyrics - “Bring a nickel, tap your feet”

Misheard lyrics - “Bring a n****r, tap your feet”
For years and years I wondered why this was allowed on the radio.

Brotherhood of Man - "United We Stand"



Actual Lyrics
"And if our backs should ever be against the wall"

Misheard lyrics
"And if our backs should ever be against the war"

What can I say it was 1970 at the height of the anti-Vietnam War protests

In “ Don’t Stop Believing” I always heard “ in a smoking room” instead of “ a smoky room.”

The 'Chicago' song - 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' 1982. The lyrics that went, "after all that we've been through" was misheard as, "after all the who you've been through." This misheard lyric actually made sense, as "after all the who you've been through" might describe that sometimes difficult process of "finding-out who we are" in life.

Regardless of how the lyrics were heard, the song 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' is awesome!
