I’m always getting the lyrics wrong. I sing to my own tune.
Try symphony sung in Italian or German or better yet no opera at all. This miscued understanding will never happen.
very interesting Sandy
Hysterical. I should do something similar… I’m always singing songs without the faintest idea of the actual words.
Hee! I do this all the time too. There are some songs from when I was a kid that I’ve sung a certain way all those years, and suddenly, I find out it’s wrong!
I love that last one!
Have a great Thursday!

I think one of the most misunderstand lyrics comes from “Blinded by the Light,” written by Bruce Springstein and sung by Mannfred Mann. I always heard “wrapped up like an edition of the Roller in the night” but apparently it is “revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.” That makes no sense to me, but “an edition of the Roller” (as in The Rolling Stone magazine) certainly does.
Too bad those aren’t the words.
Other people hear that as “wrapped up like a douche.” Yikes.
Love E.T.! Never heard of the others!
