So I LOVE LOVE LOVE music. I always have. Unfortunately I am not that great with lyrics. Today I was driving around and a song that I have liked since childhood came on and I started singing along. "Strum on the G string la la la Strum on the G string la la la .....G string sounding louder" Then I glanced at the car radio and it said "Cat Stevens Peace Train" What? Turns out the lyrics are "Ride on the Peace Train...Peace Train sounding louder." So it got me thinking about other lyrics I have messed up.
My version: Too many hearts have been broken, failing to trust the Navy
Realversion: Too many hearts have been broken, failing to trust what they feel (Dan Folgleberg)
My version: Everybody plays the flute, sometimes
Real version: Everybody plays the fool sometimes (Aaron Neville)
My version: Going through the Big D and don't mean Diamonds
Real version: Going through the Big D and don't mean Dallas
My version: Fresh Paint, Fresh Bamboo, somethin's going on in Nora's room
Real version: Crash bang, crash bang boom! somethin's going on in Nora's room
This one is actually Princess' misheard lyrics
Her version: There's a hole in my yard that can only be filled by you
Real version: There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you (Extreme)
There are many more, but here is my favorite, and it is actually Doctor's mistake.
His version: I won't poke my eyes out and surrender
Real version: I won't put my arms up and surrender

How funny! I still remember when I was dating kurt (he is a huge musica fan) and he was singing "huck a to be stuck with you" and I was like, what are you singing. it was happy to be stuck with you...lol
obviously I meant music in the post before
I had a great laugh reading these! I was thinking the same things as I driving and caught the real words to a song, I couldn't tell you what it was now.
