What are your top mutilated song lyrics?
I thought I had a grand idea for a blog entry. How about a list of some of the misheard lyrics that my friends and I have held on to for many years. Genius right! Well I found out that there are no creative thoughts these days, cause this site already documented about a million of them, damm you amiright.com And of course the ones that I've carried on are already documented. Here they are anyway...
1) Drift Away... My entire life up until Jeannine recently pointed this out to me, I have been singing "Give me the Beach boys to free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll" better than give me the meat boys i guess.
2) Cruel Summer - BANANARAMA. I never got the karate kid soundtrack so I never realized the name of the song was in the lyrics. I went about 3 quarters of my life, which is closing in on 30 soon, singing it's a cruel cruel simon... Man that simon is so cruel why is he so cruel.
3) Beast of burden - Rolling stones... I never knew the pizza's burning.. That was from a friend but i thought it was rare, but still documented on amiright.com
What is your worst misheard lyric and how long did you keep it real?

Donna and I once spent most of a car ride back from Clarkson trying to figure out the lyrics to a Dave Matthews CD. Does anyone really know the right words to Satellite anyway?

Manfred Mann's Earth Band:
"Blinded By the Light, Wrapped up like a douche, another roller in the night."
I still don't know what they're saying.

J. Geils Band -- CENTERFOLD
My words....
CHORUS:
My blood runs cold
My LIMMERY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold.
Real words.....
CHORUS:
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold.
What is a LIMMERY anyhow????

I'm with beauvais. Always and forever, the word "douche" is in that song. After all these years, it just doesn't matter what the real words are - I wouldn't remember to sing them anyway.
