So here's the deal. How many of you have ever been singing or heard someone singing a song and had the lyrical wrong?
Share with use your goof.
Here's my first.
My daughter when she was a wee little one thought the lyrics to Bon Jovi's You give love a bad name was, "Shot to the heart and your to blame, you give love a band aid."

    I live in Italy and my husband and his friends thought "Let it be" was "Lady B". They were so upset when I told them the truth. My husband said "Lady B" was more romantic.

    "I seen her in a smoky room" instead of "a singer in a smoky room" from Journey. Even worse because I hate when people say "I seen".

    And this funny cup

    When I was younger I thought it was "Shot through the heart and your too late".

    My son use to sing "Life is a Highway" as "Life is a Hallway".

    Myself, CCR'S "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise", I sang it as "There's a Bathroom on the Right" for an embarrassingly long time.

    Id really love to see you tonight.
    I use to think that that it was "I'm not talking about the linen" instead of "I'm not talking about moving in."

    It wasn't a mistake but I had a manager that would sing "All and all you're just another prick with no balls" instead of "brick in the wall"

    I heard "Proud Mary" as "Primary".

    Big wheel keep on turnin'.
    Primary keep on burnin'.

    I still think it makes sense. The primary burner is functioning and they don't need the backup. Or something.

    Yup.

    Also, in "Proud Mary", I had a friend who misheard "Pumped a lot of 'tane" as "Humped a lot of babes"!:blush::

    Mrs Jruzer apparently thought Van Halen's "Panama" was "Girl in Love."

    I've listened to it a few times since then and I still don't hear what she thought she heard.
